SIG-Linux Topic: Linux Mint distro
Presented by Sharan Kalwani
After last month’s presentation on MX (the #1 distro) I decided to focus on the next popular distro – Linux Mint. While it is rated #3, I chose it because this is also based on Debian and Ubuntu LTS, so that makes it possible to demo a number of good features and why several recommend it as a good choice for 1st time Windows and Mac OS users.
