GIVE IT A TRY. YOU’LL LOVE IT!

Most of our users come from Windows and they never look back.

Why choose Linux Mint?


EASY TO USE, FAST AND COMFORTABLE.

Give your hardware the operating system it deserves and feel right at home.


OOTB

Everything just works "Out Of The Box", without the need to configure anything
or to install extra applications. It's ready to go. Although it's very
configurable, everything is set and tuned nicely by default and no unnecessary
questions are asked.


KISS

It's very easy to use. It features an intuitive desktop and adopts KISS
principles. Anyone can rapidly feel at home and use Linux Mint. User experience,
workflow and comfort is key.


HOME RULE

It's your computer, your rules. This is a key principle at Linux Mint. We don't
collect data, we don't work against you. You're the boss. Your operating system
is designed to do what you want without getting in your way.


ROCK SOLID

With centralized software updates, system snapshots, a unique Update Manager and
the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little
maintenance. It works, it's safe and it doesn't break.


FREE AND OPEN SOURCE

It is completely free of cost and almost all of its components are Open Source.
Linux Mint stands on the shoulder of giants, it is based on Debian and Ubuntu.


COMMUNITY-CENTRIC

There is a tight bond and a great relationship between the development team and
the community. We communicate with our users and constantly use their feedback
to improve Linux Mint.

Have any questions?


FUN, HELPFUL AND PASSIONATE.

If you're making your first steps with Linux don't hesitate to join the forums.
Linux users are often welcoming, helpful and eager to share their experience.

IS IT FREE?

Yes, Linux Mint is completely free of charge. Almost everything in Linux Mint is
also open-source.

WILL IT WORK ON MY COMPUTER?

Yes, Linux Mint works on most computers. It can also be run from a live USB
stick to make sure everything works fine without having to install anything.

CAN I KEEP WINDOWS?

Yes, you can have both Windows and Linux Mint. A menu asks you which one to use
when you start the computer.

WILL IT SUIT MY NEEDS?

Hopefully. Linux Mint comes with what most people need out of the box as well as
easy access to more than 60,000 software packages and 7,800 games.

From the press

There's a good reason for that popularity: Linux Mint just works. It isn't
"changing the desktop computer paradigm," or "innovating" in "groundbreaking"
ways. The team behind Mint is just building a desktop operating system that
looks and functions a lot like every other desktop operating system you've used,
which is to say you'll be immediately comfortable and stop thinking about your
desktop and start using it to do actual work.

SCOTT GILBERTSON

ARS TECHNICA

Exploring the bevy of Linux distributions out there is a fun part of the hobby,
but for your first installation, you will likely want something popular and
beginner-friendly, so it's easy to get help when you need it. That's why I
recommend starting with Linux Mint.

WHITSON GORDON

PCMAG

Linux Mint has again shown why it deserves to stay among the best Linux
distribution for beginners. If you’re thinking to migrate from Windows to Linux,
you should definitely get your hand on Linux Mint.

SARVOTTAM KUMAR

FOSSBYTES

The years go by, and I keep trying one Linux desktop distro after the other. But
for more than a decade now, I come back to Linux Mint. Why? It's simple: Year in
and year out, Mint remains the best, easiest-to-use Linux desktop.

STEVEN J. VAUGHAN-NICHOLS

ZDNET

Mint has become the very best example of what a Linux desktop should be: fast,
easy, pleasing to the eye, useful and productive. Others, still, see Mint as the
ideal desktop for Windows refugees, or those who are trying out Linux for the
first time, and want an operating system that essentially works 'out of the
box'.

DAVID HAYWARD

LINUX FORMAT

Linux Mint's latest release will have an exceptionally wide appeal. Anyone
looking for an incredibly stable, robust, fast, clean, and user-friendly desktop
operating system could do a whole lot worse. [...] Every Linux desktop
distribution should strive to do exactly what Linux Mint 20.1 has
accomplished--create a desktop that is the perfect balance of speed, features,
and user-friendliness.
