Video Rating: 4 / 5
this is defiantly my favorite mint distro, in fact this works flawlessly on my msi wind u100, 2gig ram, the last distro did not run too well with extra effects enabled, on v10 its on full effects and still runs very snappy, defo better than win 7, even the win 7 starter is slower, thumbs up from me, also the new search feature is awesome. very usable os on a little netbook
@joc69uk32 i mean mint 10
running mint 19 on my thinkpad t42
Ubuntu does not work with my screen and wifi on my laptop but I installed mint 10 and EVERYTHING works out of the box. GO MINT!
in your other video you mentioned how terminal is hardly ever used. while I do agree, we need to get to the point where the terminal is only used in cases where you want to use it (I.E. windows) because if you have an issue and looks on forms, almost all the fixes require opening the terminal and entering a command. I also think linux needs a universal installer extention such as windows (.exe or .msi for windows) it’s just my personal opinon
THANK YOU FUCKING MUCH
DDD
What specs are needed for linux mint 10?
LINUX MINT ME GUSTO MAS QUE UBUNTU
@heaheaheaa
What.
lol my mom is goin to by us an abunta this week im so excited,
Oops. I meant to say the wireless configuration worked well on mint in my laptop. Linux Mint has been good to me since last year, but now I feel like learning Linux from scratch by installing Slackware.
@da006 should be just the same, except that Ubuntu has a newer version available that has a newer kernel. Once Mint 11 comes out, they should be just the same in terms of hardware support.
@da006 sorry to hear that. :/ I’ve noticed quite a few communities have a few individuals that can be abrasive and quick to judge.
@MsPwain This is not a program, this is an operating system. Doesn’t matter what the OS is, it generally installs without a password, because it runs before the OS itself does. If you want to protect your system in that way, you’d have to set up a BIOS/Boot time password, so that you have to type it in before you boot the system, and set your BIOS so that it doesn’t boot from CD/USB.
@da006 Have you tried downloading the windows wireless drivers and configure Ndiswrapper? It worked well for my laptop in mint.
linux mint wallpapers are really pretty.
More hardware features work in Ubuntu by the way.
Just installed Ubuntu 11.04(?) and holy crap… Love it! I know a lot of people don’t like Unity but I think it’s awesome.
I couldn’t get it to work on my laptop. Then I got kicked off of their community because I responded to a douche-bag that was being a total A-hole. UNINSTALL!!!
I definitely do not like, that it is just installing without prompting for password. This will be even MORE insecure than Windows… Windows at least show a popup…
You can install something random from a web site as an Admin? And no password? Nope for me. This is the wrong direction. No, no, and no.
i’ll give it a try, thanks for the review.
ok thanks, I will try it:)
@jablka yes lighter and for me easier to use overall and smoother feel but thats just me
liunx is good
I dont know if any commented this but i think the reason why the menu’s color didnt change is because you had custom colors checked so it used only the blue and white. So… .yeah dont know if it helped so yeah
@chongweixuan96
BAHHHH BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!
To be honest, unity looks good and it gets basic work done pretty well
@rrgert4 probably no games really working on that, but everything else will work great. I have a PC with similar specs…it’s old and it sucks, but Linux makes it great.
@rrgert4
yep. goodluck with it
@Linux4UnMe i installed ubuntu on it.. works fine.. much better than xp
its amaizing, you didnt even have to install like drivers and shit.. like audio video and network card.. automaticly 
D
@rrgert4
yes
would it run on a 512MB RAM laptop ?
@andamat
yeah pretty much agree… mint 12′s gnome 3 extensions will make life alot easier for many…. But after playing with it for a while, I prefer stock Gnome-shell aswell
@Linux4UnMe Regarding the future of MATE, Mint’s adoption is probably just what it needs to survive. The best thing about Mint, IMO, is the diversity of DE and WM choices, and their listening to users input. I think it would be better for them to have a dedicated MATE version (maybe an LMDE’d one?) and stick to MSGE + a decent fallback for the main one. I’d rather have a smaller download and choose my preferred DE before downloading. I’m sure MSGE is a godsend to many, but I prefer stock G-shell
@andamat
Fair criticism… I guess they want to keep up with newer technologies…. The future of MATE is questionable and they have limited resources… but it’s good that they are “trying” to make Gnome 3 more usable by implementing their own ideas and extensions… and it will only get better. And MATE is included on the DVD anyways so I guess it’s win win
@Linux4UnMe I’m not sure I like what Mint 12 is doing to Gnome 3. I like that they’re exploring and I am intrigued, but after having used Gnome Shell for a while, that bottom panel and especially the Mint menu feel out of place, if not in the way. They’re easy to disable, but then you’re left with the default autohide bottom panel, which is useless when you have the Mint top panel. Maybe they just need more time, but I wonder if they’d be better off focusing all their energy on Mate?
@TheJosephPrice
This is Mint 11, Mint 12 RC is out now… try that instead… or wait for the final in a few weeks… bit buggy atm
Great review as always man, I will be trying out Mint soon.
@jaibhatia180684
mint 12 will have a much better gnome 3 experience
@finnbjerke
not too sure mate
very nice you will find chromium browser in the Ubuntu 11.10. Im having trouble with DRM ebooks in Ubuntu, is mint better with this DRM thing?? thx for at great vid.
Ok, I have 5 CD-R.. Im going to download and burn the best 5 Linux Distro’s
From there I will pick the best of the best. Thumbs up for my feedback later on.
My 5 best
1.Fedora-15
2.Linuxmint-11
3.Ubuntu-11.10
4.Pinguy-11.04
5.Kubuntu-11.04
Mint 11 is great guys
@pat9955yowassup
the main edition of mint 12 will be gnome2 xx. think there will be a 2nd spin with gnome 3 though but it won’t be the official main version
@watchmen218

@Linux4UnMe Yea, read from some source on the net saying that linux mint 12 will be using gnome 3. I’ve personally never used gnome 3, so I’m looking forward to gnome 3 in linux mint 12. Heard the rc will be sometime in Nov.
@MrAlexchu92
lol i dunno man…. Mint 12 should be interesting though
@Linux4UnMe
2 versions i hear, gnome 2 and gnome 3
@Linux4UnMe Ubuntu or Linux Mint?
@rciafardone GNOME 3 is going for modern/new desktop experience… i think it’ll be iron out soon. i like effort they did in Ubuntu 11.10, Except for the “maximize” behavior i like it a lot.
with that said gnome 3 (and ubuntu unity) still has more room to grow
