Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu and belongs to the Debian family of Linux distributions. For other most popular Linux distributions please visit our dedicated linux download page.

Mint took the user friendliness of Ubuntu and kicked it up a notch. This distro was developed to specialize in being easy to use and welcoming to newcomers. As such, it comes preloaded with all the software and utilities that most desktop users will need.

After years with GNOME as its default desktop environment, Mint developers created their own desktop called Cinnamon. This marked a return to traditional desktop metaphor conventions and led to a less confusing desktop for new Linux users.
