Linux Mint MATE 21.3 Review | Why Linux Mint Is The Best Linux Distro

Linux Mint MATE is like a fresh blast from the past. It has the look and feel of a modern desktop environment, yet is reasonably light and functional. MATE delivers all this while being extremely efficient and stable, and allowing you to focus on what's important. Your work.

I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have enjoyed making a video on it. Your old computer is gonna love this distro.

I have friends that have used Mint for a decade. They love it.

I have been using Linux Mint Cinnimmon for about 6 months. The BIG memory eater is web browsers. YouTube can really munch memory.

[magnaknight]

Are you able to have Bluetooth, because I was having a hard time of fixing it, and it doesn’t work?

[kylenorris]

Is that in wayland or x11. I know I saw somewhere that Cinnamon was on Wayland out of the box

[Lizard_of_Linux_Lane]

Linux Mint Mate is my choice of OS, although I probably won't upgrade to 21.3 until it has been out for a while.

NVIDIA MAY WELL GOTO HELL. WE CHANGED THREE BOXES TO RYZEN: ZERO ISSUES, NO STRANGE DRIVERS, ALL BAKED IN THE KERNEL AND OARKED THE NVIDIA MACHINES. IT'S AMAZING WHAT NVIDIA DID; THE DO NOT DESRVE ANYTHING BUT THEIR OWN CRAP! MINT IS GREAT. CHEERS AND HEPPY NEW YEAR. CALCUTTA ? BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. AN AMAZING PLACE!

[grkantrker]

honestly i miss the gnome2 era
fast, reliable, easy to use, sleek

[mehdiyahiacherif]

For stable serious work: Mint/debian or fedora

for servers : debian rocky or alpine

for testing learning : debian or arch (probably nix too)

for low level linux learning : LFS ( idk about gentoo)

what other distros could be good too ? imo those are all the distros needed, the rest are almost skins on top of those no ? give me some good distro to test ( tested more than 150)

I like MATE for the nostalgic appeal, when i started using Linux in the early 2000s. But Cinnamon offers a lot more functionality, without taking up a lot more resources. I don't see a benefit to using MATE anymore.

[jinujonn]

Hey, can you try Manjaro KDE and give your impressions? It's a good distro and I'd love your take on that.

[D_Roadtrip_Productions]

i forgot how Mint Menu used to look 18 years ago.

[muralikrishnantm]

is it possible to install cinnamon mate and xfce all inside the same mint desktop ?if y, how?

[soulstenance]

Love this! This must be a beta - Mint 21.3 isn't out yet officially. I'm surprised this uses an older kernel than my current LMDE 6 install which is older than 21.3. I'm on kernel 6.1 right now. 5.15 isn't that ancient though. Unless you have brand new hardware you'll be fine with 5.15. Generally when it comes to the kernel especially, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. For any new users out there specifically. If you're a nerd or a tinkerer like me, go nuts. 😁

[sebastjansslavitis]

for me it was very slow, definitely something wasn't right, maybe just laptop too old (AMD E2-1800) but that was the whole point trying linux
