<p>Linux is a community of open-source Unix like operating systems that are based on the Linux Kernel. It is a free and open-source operating system and the source code can be modified and distributed to anyone commercially or noncommercially under the GNU General Public License</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">What is Linux Mint?</h2>
<p>Linux Mint is a community-driven Linux distribution that is based on Ubuntu. It strives to be a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is powerful as well as easy to use.
Linux Mint is a free and open-source operating system designed for use on desktop computers. It is one of the most popular desktop Linux distributions that millions of people currently use.</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">Linux Mint Features</h2>
<p>Linux Mint distribution is based on Ubuntu, it offers more complete out-of-the-box experience by including useful stuff like browser media codecs, DVD playback, plugins for browser, Java and other components.
The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. It’s both free of cost and open source, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers. </p>
<p>It’s safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware…etc).</p>
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-1-3">
<h2 class="section-heading">Should I Use Linux Mint?</h2>
<p> <li>Easy Installation</li>
</p>
<p>One of the main objectives of the Linux Mint project is to simplify the installation process for interested users irrespective of whether they are tech-savvy or beginners.
It is available on the official websites’ download page (and via mirror links) as an ISO image with which you can create bootable media for installation.
</p>
<p>The ISO contains a GUI installer that helps to make the installation procedure like a walk in a park so you will have had your new Linux Mint system up and running in about the same time it will take you to make a coffee.
</p>
<p><li>A Beautiful Desktop</li>
</p>
<p>The developers of Linux Mint could have stopped at making the distro simple to use and just left the GUI looking like a 2005 Windows environment, but they went the extra mile to keep things modern with nice icons, smooth animations, transitions, and reliable multitasking.
All these advantages are combined into any of the 3 officially supported editions named after the desktop environment that they run i.e. Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce. All Linux Mint editions offer a consistently modern UI that goes a long way to make using them a pleasant experience.
</p>
<p><li>Familiarity</li>
</p>
<p>Following our previous reason, users are bound to feel at home, or at least, welcome, when using Linux Mint because of its familiar setup to that of Windows. Its configuration and navigation options don’t use text different from other operating systems so it is easy to find what one is looking for.
To put in simpler terms, from the time you install the Linux Mint to your first boot, you wouldn’t feel lost and will be able to find your way around without outside help whether you are coming from a Windows, macOS, or non-Linux platform.
</p>
<p><li>Drivers, Multimedia, Tools Support</li>
</p>
<p>Linux Mint is developed with the aim of improving the shortcomings users experience with Ubuntu as well as to make innovative moves that promote the integration of several tools and services that are otherwise missing in alternative distributions.
It is for this reason that Linux Mint has a significantly better history of supporting multimedia formats, drivers, and tools for development, research, etc. and chances are that you will have no compatibility issues with Mint on your computer make or preferred applications straight out of the box.
</p>
<p> <li>An Open-Source Philosophy</li>
</p>
<p>Linux Mint is a proud promoter of open-source projects and it takes good advantage of Debian and Ubuntu to make north of 3000 free and open-source packages available to users coupled with a reliable package manager.
While it doesn’t prevent users from installing proprietary or closed-source software, the philosophy is that users are at liberty to do what they want to with the applications they like as long as it is within reason.
</p>
<p><li>Smooth Learning Curve</li>
</p>
<p>Linux Mint encourages enthusiasts to learn more about computing by trying to figure out the inner workings of the system with the freedom to maybe even build their own versions. For this purpose, Mint is built in such a way that it can be easily used for IT education across ages and field classes.
</p>
<p><li>Availability & Freedom</li>
</p>
<p>Linux Mint is 100% free and open-source so you are well within your right to use it for whatever you choose whether it is for educating people, understanding operating systems better, or for providing proprietary services.
It is also accessible via several reliable links and offers official support for free. This is in direct contrast to a Linux distro like RHEL.
</p>
<p><li>Security & Privacy</li>
</p>
<p>Together with elegance, simplicity, and reliability, security and privacy are at the core of Linux Mint’s philosophy and the developers have made sure that all services running in the OS are respectful of users’ rights to data privacy.
</p>
<p><li>A Welcoming Community</li>
</p>
<p>Linux Mint is a heavily community-driven project where the developers encourage feedback from users and interested developers in order for their ideas to be practicalized.
Being used by millions of people around the world, new users to the community are always welcome and easily find hints, solutions, and guides concerning how to work around issues with its usage whenever the documentation does not suffice.
</p>
<p><li>Designed to be Better</li>
</p>
<p>Although the last reason on this list, this is the one that can encompass all of the above-mentioned reasons – Linux Mint strives to be the best at everything, especially at the things that alternative distros already do so well.

<h2 class="section-heading">Which Image Should I Download?</h2>
<p><li>Cinnamon</li>
</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/2.png?raw=true">
<p>Description：The most modern, innovative and full-featured desktop
</p>
<p>The most popular version of Linux Mint is the Cinnamon edition. Cinnamon is primarily developed for and by Linux Mint. It is slick, beautiful, and full of new features.
</p>
<p><li>MATE</li>
</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/3.png?raw=true">
<p>Description：A more stable, and faster desktop
</p>
<p>Linux Mint is also involved in the development of MATE, a classic desktop environment which is the continuation of GNOME 2, Linux Mint’s default desktop between 2006 and 2011. Although it misses a few features and its development is slower than Cinnamon’s, MATE runs faster, uses fewer resources and is more stable than Cinnamon.
</p>
<p><li>Xfce</li>
</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/4.png?raw=true">
<p>Description：The most lightweight and the most stable
</p>
<p>Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment. It doesn’t support as many features as Cinnamon or MATE, but it’s extremely stable and very light on resource usage.
</p>
<p><li>KDE</li>

<p> IMPORTANT! Never download Linux Mint images from anywhere other than the official sources.
Always be sure to verify the SHA256 checksums of the file you’ve downloaded against our official values.
It would be easy for a malicious entity to modify a Mint installation to contain exploits or malware and host it unofficially. </p>

<h2 class="section-heading">ISO Files for Intel-based PCs</h2>
<p> In order to run Mint “Live” from a USB drive on standard Windows and Apple PCs, you’ll need a Linux Mint bootable ISO image, in either 32-bit or 64-bit format. </p>
<p> If you’re not sure of the architecture of the system you want to run Kali on, on Linux or macOS, you can run the command uname -m at the command line. If you get the response, “x86_64”, use the 64-bit ISO image (the one containing “amd64” in the file name); if you get “i386”, use the 32-bit image (the one containing “i386” in the file name). If you’re on a Windows system, the procedure for determining whether your architecture is detailed on Microsoft’s website.</p>
<p>The Linux MInt images are available both as directly downloadable “.iso/.img” files or via “.torrent” files. </p>

<h2 class="section-heading">Easy Installation</h2>
<p>One of the main objectives of the Linux Mint project is to simplify the installation process for interested users irrespective of whether they are tech-savvy or beginners. It is available on the official websites’ download page (and via mirror links) as an ISO image with which you can create bootable media for installation.</p>
<p>The ISO contains a GUI installer that helps to make the installation procedure like a walk in a park so you will have had your new Linux Mint system up and running in about the same time it will take you to make a coffee.</p>
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-4-2">
<h2 class="section-heading">A Beautiful Desktop</h2>
<p>The developers of Linux Mint could have stopped at making the distro simple to use and just left the GUI looking like a 2005 Windows environment, but they went the extra mile to keep things modern with nice icons, smooth animations, transitions, and reliable multitasking.</p>
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-4-3">
<h2 class="section-heading">Familiarity</h2>
<p>Following our previous reason, users are bound to feel at home, or at least, welcome, when using Linux Mint because of its familiar setup to that of Windows. Its configuration and navigation options don’t use text different from other operating systems so it is easy to find what one is looking for.</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/5.png?raw=true">
<p></p>
<p>To put in simpler terms, from the time you install the Linux Mint to your first boot, you wouldn’t feel lost and will be able to find your way around without outside help whether you are coming from a Windows, macOS, or non-Linux platform.</p>
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-4-4">
<h2 class="section-heading">Drivers, Multimedia, Tools Support</h2>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/6.png?raw=true">
<p></p>
<p>Linux Mint is developed with the aim of improving the shortcomings users experience with Ubuntu as well as to make innovative moves that promote the integration of several tools and services that are otherwise missing in alternative distributions.</p>
<p>It is for this reason that Linux Mint has a significantly better history of supporting multimedia formats, drivers, and tools for development, research, etc. and chances are that you will have no compatibility issues with Mint on your computer make or preferred applications straight out of the box.</p>
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-4-5">
<h2 class="section-heading">An Open-Source Philosophy</h2>
<p>Linux Mint is a proud promoter of open-source projects and it takes good advantage of Debian and Ubuntu to make north of 3000 free and open-source packages available to users coupled with a reliable package manager.</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/7.png?raw=true">
<p></p>
<p>While it doesn’t prevent users from installing proprietary or closed-source software, the philosophy is that users are at liberty to do what they want to with the applications they like as long as it is within reason.</p>
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-4-6">
<h2 class="section-heading">Smooth Learning Curve</h2>
<p>Linux Mint encourages enthusiasts to learn more about computing by trying to figure out the inner workings of the system with the freedom to maybe even build their own versions. For this purpose, Mint is built in such a way that it can be easily used for IT education across ages and field classes.</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">1. Backup</h2>
<p>This is probably the most visible one. The program allows you to backup your personal data and settings or your installed programs, which can be useful after a reinstall or for redeployment. Backup comes in addition to Timeshift, which is another excellent choice for keeping your system state pristine.</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">2.USB Image Writer</h2>
<p>Writing ISO files to USB drives may sound like a trivial task, but then you should read my articles on this topic to understand how much variety, fragmentation and chaos there is in that regard, like pretty much every other facet of the Linux desktop usage. Mint tries to make things ever so slightly simpler by adding its own USB image writer. This is a nice bonus since Ubuntu hasn't had one recently. From my testing, it seems to work well, and handled the offered scapegoats without any issues.</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/12.png?raw=true">
<p></p>
<p>And you also get a sibling tool - USB Stick Formatter, which does what it promises, formats USB devices, nice and simple like. You do not need a fully fledged program like GParted, and for less savvy users, there's less risk for botching things.</p>

<section class="docs-section" id="item-5-3">
<h2 class="section-heading">3.Desktop Settings</h2>
<p>This program is not installed by default, but it is available in the repos under the generic mint- prefix bunch. It allows you to add fortune cookies to your terminal, show or hide certain items from the desktop, and more. I believe it makes more sense for the MATE edition than the Cinnamon one, hence the non-default state. Either way, most functionality should be consolidated under the Cinnamon Settings umbrella and then expanded as necessary, which is also a reason why lately there are fewer standalone Mint programs available.</p>
<img src="https://github.com/need-linux/linux-Mint/blob/main/picture/14.png?raw=true">
</section><!--//section-->
<section class="docs-section" id="item-5-4">
<h2 class="section-heading">3.Nanny</h2>
<p>Another non-default, plus a weird name that does not correspond to the actual program function or the window title. Blocking domains may sound quaint, but it might be useful for some people. The tool allows you to manage your blacklist without manually playing with /etc/hosts file and/or firewall rules. Again, more of a perk than daily necessity, but it is another layer that of the Linux Mint onion of self-identity.</p>

<h2 class="section-heading">Section Item 9.1 <small>(FAQ Category One)</small></h2>
<h5 class="pt-3"><i class="fas fa-question-circle mr-1"></i>Disks and partitions under Linux</h5>
<p>If you are not familiar with the Linux naming scheme for devices and partitions, or the concept of filesystems and mount points, read:</p>
<p><a href="https://linuxbsdos.com/2014/11/08/a-beginners-guide-to-disks-and-disk-partitions-in-linux/" target="_blank">Disks and disk partions in Linux</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/amd64/apcs04.html.en" target="_blank">Device Names in Linux</a></p>
<p><a href="http://etutorials.org/Linux+systems/red+hat+linux+9+professional+secrets/Part+II+Exploring+Red+Hat+Linux/Chapter+7+Red+Hat+Linux+Basics/Understanding+the+Linux+File+System/" target="_blank">Linux File System</a></p>
<h5 class="pt-3"><i class="fas fa-question-circle mr-1"></i>Dedicated /home partition</h5>
<p>In Linux, the /home directory is used to store user data and preferences.</p>
<p>This directory contains one subdirectoy for each user account. Say your username is john, your home directory is /home/john, your downloads are in /home/john/Downloads, your documents in /home/john/Documents, your Firefox bookmarks somewhere in /home/john/.mozilla and so on…</p>
<p>By giving /home its own dedicated partition, you separate the user data from the rest of the operating system.</p>
<p>The advantage is that you can wipe the operating system and replace it without affecting the user data./p>
<p>When installing Linux Mint:</p>
<p><li>Assign the / mount point to the partition dedicated to the operating system, and tell the installer to format it.</li></p>
<p><li>Assign the /home mount point to the partition dedicated to the user data, and if it contains user data already, make sure to tell the installer not to format it.</li></p>
<p></p>

<h2 class="section-heading">Section Item 9.2 <small>(FAQ Category Two)</small></h2>
<h5 class="pt-3"><i class="fas fa-question-circle mr-1"></i>Pre-installing Linux Mint (OEM Installation)</h5>
<p>In the ISO boot menu, OEM install is used to preinstall Linux Mint.</p>
<p>This option is useful to:</p>
<p><li>Manufacturers and resellers who want to install Linux Mint on computers they sell to their customers.</li></p>
<p><li>People who want to sell or give their computer to somebody else.</li></p>
<p>When you install Linux Mint in OEM mode, the operating system is installed with a temporary user account and prepared for the computer’s future owner.</p>
<p>The user account is set up by the new owner.</p>
<p>To perform an OEM installation follow the steps below:</p>
<p>1. Select OEM Install from the USB stick (or DVD) menu.</p>
<p>2. Launch the installer and follow the installation instructions.</p>
<p>3. Restart the computer.</p>
<p>4. Change any system settings or install additional software if you want.</p>
<p>5. When ready, click Prepare for shipping to end user, enter the password you chose during the installation, click OK and shut down the computer.</p>
