Switching to Mint

I got fed up of the bugs in Ubuntu and switched to Mint. Here are some things I liked about it. 


  • Setting up the computer wizard. 
  • Snapshots.
  • Pinning and starring important folders.
  • Checking for drivers.
  • So many better backgrounds. 
  • Cool system sounds that are much better than Ubuntu. 
  • Setting up firewall graphically. 
  • Intro to software center. 
  • Showing how to contribute.
  • More detailed system info. 
  • Accessible crash reports.
  • Able to extend the duration of data in System Monitor.
  • None of the ugly pink color. 
  • Terminal fore and background is the right color.
  • Shows occupied disk space graphically. 
  • Easier to switch off system sounds and none of the annoying drumbeat. amplification.
  • No amazon bloatware.
  • No more notification messages that block the screen.
  • No desktop icons shifting positions and can paste to and from desktop.
  • Can easily adjust the positions and distances of icons.
  • Better workspaces.
  • Preview on icon hover from the taskbar.
  • Applets for the system tray.
  • Lesser loading time. Shutdown in fewer clicks.
  • Good ol' Ctrl+Alt+L for lock screen.
  • Really helpful community.

...and so much more! Linux Mint OS was built for the Desktop PC, and to keep the interests of the Users in mind.
