I highly, highly recommend Linux Mint (with Cinnamon) to those looking for an Ubuntu alternative. Cinnamon is a great desktop environment and Mint, in many ways, is Ubuntu without the privacy issues.
- sampo 13y agoAs far as I have understood, the default way to upgrade the distro in Mint is to reinstall the whole OS? Feels a bit primitive to me. You're fine for a year or so, but when a new version of Mint comes, if you want to upgrade, you'd need to reinstall everything.
- zachlatta 13y agoI'm not entirely sure how the upgrade process works in Mint. I think of it as a "transition" distro in many ways. Most of the people I've recommended it to moved on to Crunchbang or similar after a few months of use.
