@@pantarei. Not sure what the Debian Edition would have to do with the Edge version of LM 20 or 21. LMDE is at 6, and there is no Edge listed. Though I am sure nVidia probably isn't a good match with LMDE.
Linux Mint Cinnamon on Edge. Newer hardware; no sense in not trying it first. Newer Linux kernel. so, as long as it works, no sense in sticking with the older kernel
Very good overview. Although, you might have mentioned that the easy way to try all the options before you make your choice is to use live versions booted from USB. When you decide which one you like, you can install from the USB drive. There are a number of good tutorials showing how to make them.
As long as you are not good in terminal and you use nvida gpu, LMDE is not good choice, because it comes without driver manager. Cinnamon is something very basic these days and I would not even try to go for Mate or XFCE as they look very old out of the box. Plasma 6 is something I wish to see in Mint, but that's not going to happen.
I don’t know why cinnamon is so popular Mate is the perfect replacement for anyone who is coming from Windows. It’s a well designed desktop. You should try it
Its kinda funny when you say Mate is for people with limited system resources meanwhile its taking up 1.1 GB doing nothing...lol Anyone remember a few short years ago when XFCE would use about 300 MB of RAM?
I run cineman on my desktop with core i7 and 1660 ti graphics card and 16 gig ddr 4. With ssd 1024 tb XFCE on my t530 thinkpad core i5 with 16 gigs ram 512ssd I've been running linux min for 10 years
I've used and enjoyed Cinnamon for the past couple of years, but if it disappeared tomorrow I would be almost as happy with XFCE, which I've used in the past. Both are sufficiently customizable to create a pleasant and efficient experience.
Brother I almost dual booted every linux distro with windows 11 on my Laptop but the brightness doesnt work I can change value but no effects is happening I tried every youtube tuturial but couldnt fix it :/ how can I get a support to fix my problem?
I used Mint for 6months. It was on 'ok' experience. But I would never recommend it to anyone who is new to Linux... Even to my sworn enemies. Instead I would 100% recommend openSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed with KDE DE. Mint's cinnamon is just a big nope. Zero useful functionalities in it, while on KDE side, its a dreamwalk. Also in Mint's store almost everything is flatpak instead of native package, which is anything but good attitude on their end. Flatpaks use 10x more disk space. How can they just shrug like that over this? A package that natively requires 200megs, will install 2gigs, because of sandbox... With this manner why the hell not just install separate linux instances for each package??!
@@Arek1125 Maybe we are thinking about two different fedoras then. Fedora is a cakewalk, I just don’t agree with the talk of adding telemetry for the second time. Windows users will feel right at home don’t you think?
@@pantarei. nope after update you have to just wait a little,reboot and everything goes back to normal you can also block the karnel change and there will be no problems with nvidia drivers at all ,as i wrote people have to learn linux a little and than everythig is easy and runs smooth....i remember myself when started to use linux i crashed linux mint and wanted to switch back to windows
Since i switched to Pop OS (gnome with addons) some 8 years ago, i kept using gnome. Ubuntu is only acceptable, when snap is removed (and blocked for reinstall).
@@Stevos-Corner Yes and no😑 Use it on my Macbook Air 2012 exclusively. Recently i looked at fedora, zorin, ubuntu 24.04 (removed snap) and endeavour, all very interesting, as System76 is working on their own Rust based desktop. Not sure they manage that to become stable soon, so need a fallback. Zorin is very nice, lets see when their update to 24.04 arrives. I would use Mint, but cinnamon is not my cup of tea. I keep my old hardware, so i have dozens of notebooks and desktop pcs to play with.
Running cinnamon desk top with LM Edge edition. Stable, fast and smooth. No complaints and good for a Linux newbie like me.
LMDE is not for nvidia users.
Shouldn't need Edge as of LM 22, it now has the 6.8 Kernel series.

Xfce for me. Stable, quick and customizable. But on MX.
MX>Sparky>Peppermint>Siduction>LMDE>Ubuntu=> Debian 👑
I've been using Cinnamon for a number of years now. I dual boot it on my main desktop and use it on my old Celeron laptop.

Which is why I'm using MX KDE now instead of Mint.
@@Nofanboyz Does MX provide a driver manager and support nvidia gpu?

xfce absolutely flies.
@PaxAlotin we DONT need anybody "working on it" ..... its PERFECT
I have yesterday customised my Linux Mint using custom themes, Cursor, icons, Simple Conky Clock + config, plank dock and beautiful wallpaper.

I try to stick with LMDE and avoid Ubuntu at all costs. I stay away from Fedora too.
fedora is fantastic distro,yes it is true this OS is for a bit more advanced linux users

Everything OK but gaming still not even close to Windows.
