Linux Mint 21.2: Is it Just for New to Linux Users?

  • Linux Mint (LM) has released an update to Linux Mint 21 and 21.1 called Linux Mint 21.2 on July 16th 2023. This is mostly a point release that adds some very nice features. There are some who always want to put Linux distro's in buckets, but as I have said before, which Linux distro you use should be based on what you need, not someone else's idea of what the distro should be classified as. Even though this one is named after a plant. It might be called Mentha Piperita or even Mentha Spicata but I think it should be "easyyay erfectpay", which is Perfectly Easy.
    Linux Mint is derived from Ubuntu 22.04, but LM follows its own path, and is not always so eagar to blindly follow in the footsteps that Canonical leaves.
    The Thumbnail: Yeah its another AI generated penguin, I was looking for a penguin holding mint, and this is what it generated.

    Passing to Linux Mint has boosted my productivity. Its the best solution if you want a Cinnamon desktop. I use two tiny bars. The bottom one is an old "windows 95" style with window list, menu and audio controls. The top bar on the left side i've icons for the most common app, shortcut to my servers. Centrally shortcut to my main folders, pomodoro timers. On the right side performance things and workspace switching. I use 4 workspace with shortcut to change to it quickly. What I absolyutely love is the 2nd monitor that stay fixed. So I can switch workspace while keeping logs or conference onto the 2nd monitor.

    I use several different distros in various places, but I always use Mint as my main personal distro because I can always count on it working, and it's easy to integrate with others. Looking forward to their LMDE release as I just might use that as my main going forward.

    Mint is easy on new users. Its my go-to if I'm installing Linux for someone who's not very tech savy. Experienced users tend to drop to the terminal anyways so distro choice is more a matter of speed and preferred package manager than ui

    I apparently have a weird install, installed mint around 20.1 and kept upgrading it. Electron apps load quickly. Atom for instance loads in 3 seconds, while everyone else says that Electron apps load slowly - like 30s to a few minutes. I made no additional configs to any subsystems. I just find it strange that Electron stuff loads quick. Maybe it might have to do with ripping out the entire graphical stack (Xorg, nouveau drivers, mesa, etc), installing the amdgpu drivers (open source), and reinstalling the graphics stack? IDK. But Electron apps still loaded fairly quickly before that. Added bonus, I've never had problems with Windows games running on steam via Proton AFTER the amdgpu driver install scenario.

    More so with flatpaks and docker,distrobox being in the mix I don't need the latest and greatest as much as I need something to turn on when I get to work. Easy to get into the FOMO of the must have the latest X mentality without knowing why. Why a lot of long term users come back to Debian/Mint/MX.
    I love Mint remember using it because it came with codecs over Ubuntu's offerings, and the team have consistantly provided for the communities needs over anything else apart from KDE users :D

  • @endaksi_channel
    @endaksi_channel Рік тому +2

    Hey, currently choosing linux distro boils down to snaps vs. flatpaks. Or in other words ubuntu vs. fedora. Linux mint is kind of undecided - they said they won't integrate either, but later chose to integrate flatpak (which is strange being based on Ubuntu)

    • @esphilee
      @esphilee Рік тому +2

      Because Snap is potentially sinister, eventually going to pull out a “Redhat” on the community. Flatpak is the way to go.
      By the way, Mint has a Debian version, LMDE is Debian, not Ubuntu, for good measure.
      That is why Mint is the best.

      I want to love LMDE, but there's just SO more Ubuntu has done to make standard LM Cinnamon much more usable out the gate. It's only a matter of time till we don't have a choice other than move to Debian (or a direct derivative of) anyway though.

    I love Mint. I run it on a cheap mini pc with 256Gb SSD and 8Gb DDR3 ram. It is so simple to use, beats everything else I have tried, although some things can be a little on the slow side, but not too bad. I have tried maybe a dozen different distros over the last few months, and still Mint still comes out on top. I use it mainly for Ham radio, plus a bit of video work.

    Mint wasn't very appealing to me as a new user. The UI isn't great (I work building UIs as a front-end developer, so I am a bit more fussy), and when compared to Gnome it feels like it's stuck in the past. It also had audio crackling, flickering, and package install issues, as did Zorin. Other distros I tried didn't have the same problem, so it might relate to the Ubuntu LTS base or something. Until the next major Mint version releases, I won't be trying it for a while.
