Linux Mint is a community driven Linux distribution based on Debian and Ubuntu that strives to be a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. Linux Mint provides full out of the box multimedia support by including some proprietary software and comes bundled with a variety of free and open source applications. The project was conceived by Clment Lefbvre and is being actively developed by the Linux Mint Team and community. HistoryeditLinux Mint started in 2. Linux Mint 1. 0, code named Ada,9 based on Kubuntu. Following its release, Linux Mint 2. Barbara was the first version to use Ubuntu as its codebase. Linux Mint had few users from these early versions until the release of Linux Mint 3. Cassandra. 1. 01. Linux Mint 2. 0 was based on Ubuntu 6. From there, Linux Mint followed its own codebase, building each release from its previous one, but continued to use the package repositories from the latest Ubuntu release. This resulted in making the base between the two systems almost identical, guaranteeing full compatibility between the two distributions rather than having Mint become a fork. In 2. 00. 8, Linux Mint adopted the same release cycle as Ubuntu and dropped its minor version number before releasing version 5 Elyssa. The same year, in an effort to increase the compatibility between the two systems, Linux Mint decided to abandon its code base and changed the way it built its releases. Starting with Linux Mint 6 Felicia, each release was now completely based on the latest Ubuntu release, built directly from it, and timed for approximately one month after the corresponding Ubuntu release, usually in May or November. In 2. 01. 0, Linux Mint released Linux Mint Debian Edition LMDE. Unlike the other Ubuntu based editions Ubuntu Mint, LMDE was originally a rolling release based directly on Debian and was not tied to Ubuntu packages or its release schedule. It was announced on May 2. Linux Mint team would no longer support the original rolling release version of LMDE after January 1, 2. LMDE 2 Betsy, the current release of LMDE, is a long term support release based on Debian Jessie. When LMDE 2 was released it was announced that all LMDE users would be automatically upgraded to new versions of Mint. Tools software and new Desktop Environments before they were released into the main edition of Linux Mint. On 2. 0 February 2. Linux Mint website was breached by unknown hackers, who briefly replaced download links for a version of Linux Mint with a modified version that contained malware. The hackers also breached the database of the websites user forum. After the attack Linux Mint was severely criticized as being a distribution that, unlike many others at the time, just worked and became popular with non technical users, but at the expense of security, with some security updates to the underlying Ubuntu or Debian blacklisted from running due to compatibility issues. ReleaseseditEvery version of Linux Mint is given a version number and, until the 1. The 1. 8. x series broke from the pattern with version 1. Sarah. 2. 0Initially, there were two Linux Mint releases per year. Following the release of Linux Mint 5 in 2. LTS version,citation needed indicating that it was supported with updates for longer than traditional releases. Versions 5 and 9 had three years of support, and all LTS versions following received five years of support. On May 3. Linux Mint 1. Linux Mint team adopted a new release strategy. Starting with the release of Mint 1. LTS version of Ubuntu as a base, until 2. Under this strategy, Mint 1. November 2. 9, 2. Mint 1. 7. 2 was released on June 3. Mint 1. 7. 3 was released on December 4, 2. The 1. 7. x releases are intended to be an easy, optional upgrade. All three versions included upgrades to the Cinnamon and MATE Desktop Environments and various Mint tools. In addition, Mint 1. Libre. Office suite. The 1. 8. x series follows the pattern set by the 1. Ubuntu 1. 6. 0. 4 LTS as a base. Linux Mint does not communicate specific release dates as new versions are published when ready, meaning that they can be released early when the distribution is ahead of schedule or late when critical bugs are found. New releases are announced, with much other material, on the Linux Mint blog. Reviews of Linux Mint 1. Sarah, have been somewhat mixed, with several that were quite favorable3. Multimedia codecs, that were previously in the standard Mint distribution, were no longer included in Sarah, but could be loaded with a graphical application that one Ars Technica reviewer said should be obvious for new users. FeatureseditLinux Mint primarily uses free and open source software, making exceptions for some proprietary software, such as plug ins and codecs that provide Adobe Flash, MP3, and DVD playback. Linux Mints inclusion of proprietary software is unusual many Linux distributions do not include proprietary software by default, as a common goal for some Linux distributions is to adhere to the model of free and open source software. Linux Mint comes with a wide range of software installed that includes Libre. Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, Hex. Chat, Pidgin, Transmission, VLC media player and GIMP. Additional software that is not installed by default can be downloaded using the package manager. Linux Mint allows networking ports to be closed using its firewall, with customized port selection available. The default Linux Mint desktop environments, MATE and Cinnamon, support many languages. Linux Mint can also run many programs designed for Microsoft Windows such as Microsoft Office, using the Wine Windows compatibility layer software for Linux, or virtualization software, including VMware Workstation and Virtual. Box, or KVM Kernel based Virtual Machine, built into the Linux kernel hypervisor using Virtual Machine Manager. Linux Mint is available with a number of desktop environments to choose from, including the default Cinnamon desktop, MATE, KDE, and Xfce. Other desktop environments can be installed via APT, Synaptic, or via the custom Mint Software Manager. Linux Mint actively develops software for its operating system. Most of the development is done in Python and the source code is available on Git. Hub. 4. 2Software by Linux Mintedit. The new interface for mint. Update, Linux Mints Update tool.
