NEW MINT: THE MOST REFRESHING DISTRO OF 2016 IS HERE
Mint’s motto, ‘From freedom came elegance’, speaks to an entirely different class of distribution (distro): one that isn’t shackled by commercial interest and one that actually wants to be pleasurable for desktop users. Linux Mint was born ten years ago out of lead developer Clement Lefebvre’s desire to build a distro that was both powerful and easy to use. Now it has risen through the rankings to become one of the most popular Linux distros out there. Linux Mint has definitely become something much bigger than its first nickname ‘Ubuntu with codecs’. It now features its own desktop, core applications and support channels. Along the way there have been hiccups and detours, but the project continues to innovate and show that it can stand up well alongside the major players that have deeper pockets.
