I've used Cinnamon for years and love it! I've used Linux since Slackware 1.0, which installed from 18 floppies. The panel config is the thing I enjoy the most, of all the distros this has to be the best panel app! Mint has detected every device on my desktop and my HP15 laptop.

I put Linux Mint Cinnamon onto my aged brother's 10Gen i5 laptop which has 8GB RAM and it runs beautifully. He's very happy with it.
I've also used Mint XFCE on a 2008 Dell Core2 duo laptop with 2GB RAM and it was just fine. Of course I put SSDs in both machines as no one has time to wait for old HDDs to spin up.

Thanks for sharing your experience 😀

Great information as always.
As an aside note for info:
If anyone puts LM Cinnamon on an old Surface Pro 3, the touch screen works fine, but I would still use an USB mouse for the installation. Just in case!

[@linuxforseniors]

Thanks for the kind words, and also for your info on the Surface Pro.

The second distro I installed was Mint with the Plasma desktop- I was heartbroken when they dropped it. My first distro was Peppermint.

Thanks for your input.

17:35 MATE is developed by an Argentinian, and "caja" means "box", so it's not "ca-dja" but "cá-ha". The "J" in Spanish sound like the "Hv" in Norse or Norwagian.

Thanks for pointing out my Icelandic english , just for your FYI my wife of 30 years is Argentinian , so yes I’m aware of these, my primary language was also not English. Regards, t
