Linux Mint is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions and used by millions of people.

Linux Mint 18.1 Serena New Features and Improvements
The new version Linux Mint 18.1 is available in two editions (Cinnamon and MATE), in 32-bit and 64-bit builds. The major components of Mint 18.1 are Cinnamon 3.2, MDM 2.0, Linux kernel 4.4, and Ubuntu 16.04 package base. It offers Cinnamon users a new screensaver that displays more information and provides media controls even when the screen is locked. On computers which feature accelerometers, the Cinnamon desktop can now rotate when the device's orientation changes. Both editions offer upgrades to the X-apps programs with the Xplayer media player now offering the ability to blank screens not being used to display video. Also, the update manager can display a list of available kernel versions with recommendations.

Really great tutorial, I was going daft trying to figure out why my Guest addtions was failing with an incredibly dumb "kernel not valid" and "missing entries form libraries...X", when Oracle VB told me I was using an up to date version of its software. Watching your video it was easy to see that I was doing everything right, it was just the version of Guest additions was out of date, but Oracle VB was not. Thanks very much for the helping hand ;)

Thank you. Your video made installing Mint for the first time a real breeze. Your use of the subtitles was very useful too.
