Linux Mint 18 is the latest version of the popular Linux distribution that is a long term support release that is supported until 2021.

Linux Mint 18 is offered in two versions, Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon and Mate that feature different desktop environments. Basically, Cinnamon is more graphics intensive and some default programs may be different as well.

You can run Linux Mint as a live DVD without installation by booting it, and install the Linux distribution when it is started or keep on using the live variant exclusively.
Linux Mint Cinnamon ships with Cinnamon 3.0, an updated desktop environment that offers new features and improvements.

It offers window management improvements, options to disable favorites and system options in the menu applet, animation effects that are enabled by default, improved out-of-the-box touchpad support, new accessibility and sound settings, and more.
X-Apps

X-Apps is a new feature of Linux Mint (both versions) that can best be described as generic applications that work in multiple desktop environments.

Moved to linux mint over a year ago could never go back to windows now.
 
Thinking to make my PC dual boot might use this but thought someone had hacked this. Is it safe to use now ?
 
hacked or not cannot be any worse than running Windows pmsl
 
My windows 8 messed up lost all my files, downloaded Linux mint . am thinking still need some windows apps till I get comfortable with Linux should I
1 , dual boot
2, run windows in VMware
3, try wine not the drink lol
 
I use virtual box and wine never bothered with dual boot.
 
It really depends on the software you use regularly. I dual boot almost all my machines because there is software that I use frequently that needs windows (unofortunately). If you have no software that makes windows mandatory, try Linux on a dedicated laptop or dual boot. I find using virtual box never gave me enough of an immersive experience and I kept using windows. Dual booting has its benefits. Like if you have to actually be productive but can't figure something out in linux, you can switch to windows, get what you need to get done, then figure out how to sort it in linux. Try debian or ubuntu as they generally have the most support out of the box.
