It the distro that my 72 year old mom uses for the last 3 years. She adaptade very quick from windows to Mint and run in her EXTREMELY old laptop. Toshiba Tecra A10

I have been using Mint for approx. 2 years now. I initially put the 32 bit version on an old Gateway laptop mfg in 2008. It functioned so well I have now changed every computer I have to Linux Mint. I recently bought a little Bmax mini PC which came with Win10. I put Linux Mint on it and it runs so much better. I'm not sure people realize they can dump Windows and never miss it (except maybe for gaming). I have control of my computers again. Thank you for great videos!

One thing I like about Linux Mint is that it's mature and doesn't _need_ any dramatic changes. What you get is totally stable and does what you need, and if what it does "out of the box" isn't perfect for you it's easy to change the way it looks or add the programs you need.
Personally, I'd rather have that than changes "because we can" and that make me have to relearn something.

I have been using linux mint for the past 5-6 years and it just works. There are never problems like when you use windows with their constant updates. Linux mint is my absolute preferred linux version. 😊

Hi Jay,
One feature I love that is not mentioned by any reviwer I've watched is that most programs can be uninstalled without using the terminal, app store or synaptic package manager. You simply right-click the program from the start menu and the uninstall option is available to you. Pretty cool. The only distro I've used over the years that I've seen this feature.

I recently discovered that you can center the apps in your task bar and split the system tray to the bottom left and bottom right. It's so much better 🙌🏻

Linux Mint is just pure polish, awesome distro

[rmcellig]

I use Linux mint as well as mint LMDE. Love them both

[BlackBagData]

Today, I decided to change all my Win10 PCs to Linux Mint, with the exception of 2 PCs. So glad to be using Mint!

Linux Mint always gets better and faster. Who needs big innovations when it has or offers everything you need on the most stable distro in the Linux environment. I loved Win7. Love Linux Mint even more. 6 years of flawless experience.

Its been some time since I watched your videos and I have to say kudos sir. The production quality has improved a lot. The picture quality of the video is top notch and the set looks great!

[EverybodyLinux]

Thanks for highliighting the features of the newer version. I'll also check the community page, good to know. 👍

(re: learning curve) I'm actually enjoying the process of learning a whole new OS that isn't constantly getting in my way. I like having software that's logically designed, like a Word Processor (Libre Writer) that actually has the "Print" button right on the main screen and hasn't buried it at the bottom of a sub-menu that's not even on the toolbar.

Greeting from Mexico. I recently installed and started using Linux Mint 21.3 (Cinnamon Edge) on my everyday work laptop, replacing Windows. Everything has worked very well so far (NVIDIA card included). Thank you for your videos, they have been very useful to me, please keep up your great job.

I started with Slackware 3.4 back in '98, and I loved the do-it-yourself approach, compiling things from source, manually figuring out dependencies, tweaking the kernel configuration and building each new release ... eventually I went to Gentoo and was happily using that for a couple of years, but then I decided to give Mint a try a couple of years ago, and I guess I'm getting old... I like that things generally just work. I like that packages are available for my distribution so I don't have to compile and configure everything. I want to _use_ my computer, not just tinker with it. I'm not a fan of Cinnamon, but MATE is working pretty well for me.

I'm using Linux Mint on an old Late 2013 MacBook Pro. I actually prefer Linux Mint over MacOS. Both are Unix based and it shows, it took very little time to get up to speed with Linux Mint. IMO, Linux Mint is a perfect way to repurpose older Apple computers. It loads faster than MacOS and does everything I need plus more.

The stability of mint is what makes me, a linux newbie, like it. I know that it pretty much will be what it always has been and I won't get the rug swept out from under me. I know what I'm getting with mint and that is precisely what I want out of my distro. Something dependable that doesn't change every 5 minutes.

Have been running WIn10, Ubuntu, and mint. Have settled on Linux Mint DE 5 and 6 as my daily drivers and have found it to be rock solid !!!

[angelnaydev]

Another great video about one of the best operating systems (in my personal opinion). Since I discovered Linux Mint, it feels like I'm 'at home.' I like Cinnamon as an environment; it works wonderfully on my old MacBook Air 2015. The only issue so far is with an Nvidia card, as it occasionally flickers (probably a driver issue). Otherwise, most things work as mentioned, right from the system startup. I'm satisfied, and I no longer need to spend a lot of time tweaking the system after installation.

I love you’r voice it makes my anexiety go away (:
