We prolonged the life of older hardware, cut our software licensing bills and didn’t have to trade stability for our normal operations.

Pros

Linux Mint proved to be a very decent performer for our billing department without all the unnecessary fluff. It’s feather-light and boots lightning-fast even on low-end machines.

Cons

There can be compatibility issues with software especially when a client sends us files that require Windows-only tools.

If it weren't for the lack of availability of certain software packages crucial to my line of work, I genuinely would have switched to Mint as my main OS. I really liked it.

Pros

It's a very smooth, modern feeling alternative to something like Ubuntu, and largely compatible with anything that works on Ubuntu, including commands.

Cons

There wasn't much I didn't like about Mint, to be honest. Its only real downside when compared to operating systems like Windows is the same as any Linux distro, in other words, lack of availability of many mainstream software options used in business. This is not Mint's (or Linux's) fault.

Pros

Great for rookies to Linux, you just slap it onto a thumb drive and you can easily boot into it, installation is just a simple double click of an icon on the dashboard and maybe a little bit of meddling if you want to dual boot

Cons

It can be a little too user-friendly, so it's not best used for individuals who are far more experienced with Linux

If you want to feel like a geek without actually having the practical knowledge of a Linux expert, then Mint is the way to go! Its interface will look familiar (especially to Windows users), and the generic software available will be able to do the job most often as well as your usual suspects when it comes to basic tasks. A nice way to take advantage of an old-fashioned computer when you need to automate or semi-automate a few tasks without putting the hassle on your main machine. It can be installed instead of your usual OS or besides it with a select menu at startup (on a Windows-based PC at least). On my 2012 laptop, it officially coexists with Windows 7 (truth is, it gets launched very much more often than its Microsoft counterpart).

Pros

An interface that will look familiar to Windows users, yet with all the practicity that Linux is known for: welcome to the best of both worlds, and your CPU and RAM will thank you too as this lightweight OS claims to work from 2GB RAM onward (I've had it working perfectly smooth on a 4GB, 10+yo laptop). Also, it's very evolutive, and technically you don't \*have to\* change version every once and then. A few command lines are all you need to know (and that's only for some updates), and guess what these command lines are all readily available from the internet! Installing as a dual-OS is quite easily done following a few tutorials on the web.

Cons

Of course, with Linux you have to roll back on all your previous references. There's only little chance you'll get to use the behemoth software that you'e used to on a PC or Mac, but you can find equivalents that will allow you to interact in the end with a machine using a more conventional/commercial OS.

As it is based on secure experience, I would love to recommend it to the linux starter. You will no be disappointed because of it's beautiful GUI.

Pros

I had started my learning journey with Linux with Linux Mint. I enjoyed giving commands and controlling my laptop with it. It was easy to use and a whole new experience. It's a very beautiful OS for security tester.

Cons

I didn't like the complexity of Linux Mint. It was so hard to remember the commands. Although It's hard to operate, But I think It is one of the best in terms of security.

I have a Core I5 11500 PC with NVidia 1660 super overclocked video card. I have a HP laserjet printer and an Epson scanner. It all works perfectly on Linux Mint.

Pros

Linux Mint works. It is free. It keeps everything up to date. I can edit photos and videos without paying subscription fees.

Cons

In the last couple of years I think almost any issue has been solved. I can't think of any problems with Linux Mint.

Many years ago, I installed RedHat on one of my systems which, at the time, was a bit of a hassle getting the OS and hardware to work together and the GUI working. It didn't all that great for me, so stopped using it. 15 years later, my brother tells me how he installed Mint on his laptop (for virus protection and privacy concerns), and I am much more versed with computers than he is, so I tried it myself and was surprised at how easy it was to install (with a little computer experience) and how well it did with so many applications (free applications too). I still need a Windows or Apple for my work for specific software needs, but I've installed it on an Old Windows computer that has little memory and little disk space and it runs just fine for a daily web-surfing and personal emailing system.

Pros

Well, "Free" would be the number one item that I like the most, but a close second is the ability to do 90% of what I do on a Windows/Mac using about half the memory/disk/processor power.

Cons

There are just a small handful of software programs I need to use for my work, and Mint (or most Linux variants) just don't have compatible software.

Reasons for choosing Linux Mint

Free, and lower needed Memory/Disk/Processor.

Linux ofrece muchas soluciones, se puede hacer prácticamente todo, montar un servidor de aplicaciones aplicaciones de oficina como procesadores de texto, hojas de cálculo, etc.

Pros

Lo que más me gusta de Linux mint es que no requiere esfuerzo hacer que el sistema sea más accesible, debido a que la mayoría de usuarios están acostumbrados a windows. También tengo que apreciar que es de código abierto y proporciona uno de los mejores administradores de software.

Cons

Debido a que es tan liviano, le faltan algunas dependencias, lo que hace que el uso del comando sudo apt install sea un poco más desafiante para alguien nuevos usuarios en Linux.

Reasons for choosing Linux Mint

El precio es mas accesible y tiene opciones que otros no tienen como al grabar un cd este se puede utilizar para instalarlo en otros servidores, mientras que otros software no tienen esa opción.

The main features of Linux Mint that made me choose it were: tools for graphic design (GIMP, Blender and Inkscape), improved productivity with LibreOffice suite and access to more than 7 thousand games with Steam.

Pros

Easy to use, install, manage, update and teach. Like most Linux distributions, it has more extensive documentation.

Cons

Like most Linux distributions, Linux Mint is also growing a lot in disk installation size.

Al tener una interfaz tan amigable no tuve problema con el manejo de la mayoría de aplicaciones, realmente lo utilicé, como sistema principal durante los primeros años de Universidad, un sistema completo con interfaz entendible y fácil de usar, con las capacidades programáticas que son necesarias para el estudio de la carrera de computación.

Pros

El sistema está muy bien optimizado, consume pocos recursos y brinda las herramientas necesarias para poder realizar proyectos pequeños y grandes.

Cons

Al ser un sistema menos popular que otras distribuciones, el soporte que tiene no abarca tanto como las otras distribuciones

Switched from

[Ubuntu](https://www.capterra.com/p/229058/Ubuntu/)

El sistema era más liviano para mi computador, permitiendo hacer las mismas tareas de una formas más rápida y eficiente sin consumir tantos recursos.

Pros

It's a great start for windows users switching over to linux, as it's very familiar looking with the taskbar and start menu.

Cons

Some things that you used to be able to do on windows, take a little bit more time and configuration to get it running properly on linux, but that's not mints fault...
