- You want something that just works out of the box.
- Your focus is everyday tasks with some programming.
- You prefer cutting-edge software, but the system itself can be stable.
- You want a graphical installer and easy GUI management.
- You like Cinnamon for a Windows-like UI.
- You’re okay with either pre-installed software or minimal install.
- You don’t mind if the distro itself has a smaller community as long as the parent distro is well-supported.
People suggest Mint because it’s a solid, easy-to-use installer, is based on a stable distribution, and requires no fiddling wiþ etc files to get up and running. It’s þe no-brainer of Linux distributions.
Maybe þere are oþers, but none are so widely known to be plug-&-play as Mint, because þat “new user” experience is what þe project focuses on.
