  • Linux Mint Cinnamon on the whole is my favorite distro. However, one of my PC's (a Beelink SER5 pro mini PC with Ryzen 5800H) kept losing all sound capabilities every 3 days or so. Mint just seemed to forget my PC had sound at all. Rebooting would fix the issue for three days then bye bye sound again. Currently trying out Ubuntu Cinnamon on that PC to see if it fares any better. Currently on third day, fingers crossed that I still have sound when I get home from work tonight!

  • Cool that they support Cinnamon. But why would one use this instead of Linux Mint? Mint is pretty awesome as it is

  • I hate the direction Ubuntu has gone of late. I'm looking at LMDE to workaround U completely. I was impressed with Debian 12 and LMDE 5 was also really good. Looking forward to LMDE6. Should improve stability.

  • I've used both mint and Ubuntu cinnamon and the main very big difference in the 2 is basically if you want a operating system that is secure and stable without the hazel of figuring out how to keep everything updated and potentially messing up your operating system then Ubuntu cinnamon is your route. If you know what you're doing and want control on what type of software you want (snap/flatpak) and full control of what kernels you want then mint is the way to go but not recommended if you are starting out with Linux. I personally switched back to Ubuntu cinnamon because its backed by a major software corporation and not community maintained so it has major firmware update support, my 6 year old dell gets regular firmware updates being on there offical flavor compared to mint

  • Почему ты в кепке?

  • Does installing cinnamon and using it in ubuntu use more ram compared to its stock ubuntus stock de?

  • Well cinnamon is my desktop of choice and i run it on debian definitely my favourite

  • If Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix didn't have snaps, I think it'd be a worthy competitor. But it does, and so nobody will use it.

  • I have Mint on my Dell XPS 15. One thing I did notice is preinstalled from the USB. It is almost not responsive. You have to give it time to load the installation screens. But once you get it installed and updated. It works like a charm.

  • Linux Mint is surely better option but when I installed, it lags and I several times.

    With Ubuntu everything works out of the box, like Wifi and 75hz support for my acer Monitor

    Ubuntu don't lags it snappy on same system unlike mint

  • Bonjour, merci pour ta vidéo. Une question stp. Ubuntu cinnamon est il plus stable que mint cinnamon ou pas du fait qu'il y a une couche en moins ( ubuntu _ puis mint cinnamon) au chargement ? Je suis fan de mint cinnamon. Les pilotes graphiques et autres semblent être moins reconnu sous ubuntu cinnamon ?
    Merci

  • As a Windows user (like most people I guess), I had a curiosity about Linux, and tried Linux Mint. It actually worked quite well for me, aside from a couple of minor issues, and one major issue. The issues I had, demonstrated that normal people cannot easily switch to Linux, even now.

    There were the issues of not knowing much about Linux to start with, but I got up and running and got the graphics drivers working properly, and played some games that I downloaded through Steam.

    The first issue was that, if the system was left for a couple of hours, I'd come back to what seemed to be a frozen system, though it wasn't quite frozen, just incredibly slow. This happened every time if left alone. If the system was shut down in the usual way, and then switched on when I needed to use it, it was fine, unless left again. Not a massive issue, but a pain, as it required a hard-reset to resolve each time.

    The bigger issue had was that although the updates had been coming through fine, I had some weird messages that I didn't really understand occassionally, but it still worked and so didn;t worry too much about it. After not using it for a month or two, there was quite a few updates available when I next booted into Mint, I downloaded them in the usual way, but when the system restarted, it didn't get to the desktop anymore. I was able to get the Mint logo, but that was all. I Googled a bit to try and figure it out, but basically, that was the end of my journey with Linux.

    Windows has it's issues, but it is more stable than Linux it would seem.

  • When Bookworm comes out, I would love to see you do Crunchbang Plus Plus versus Bunsen Labs. I can wish for Mabox versus Manjaro Openbox?

    Great video, Tomm!

  • I set up Linux Mint under ESXi to work remotely on and have it double as a Zabbix server to monitor other web hosts as my current one is not 15 years old. To do that, it needs to be able to do root logins SSH. That's one thing you can't do it. I've set up countless Zabbix hosts on FreeBSD and and have an AlmaLinux I can do it with, but it doesn't work with Linux Mint. Normally you simply edit the config and you're good to go. I will say this is my first Debian-based distro. Weird!
