There’s a leaner, cleaner Cinnamon desktop layout (with modern touches, like window grouping), a refreshed GTK theme (including obligatory dark variant), a more consistent icon set and a swathe of updates to Mint’s homespun apps, including Mint Welcome and the Backup Tool.Īll of that atop a solid, stable Ubuntu 18.04 LTS base. Firmly cemented as Linux’s go-to distro for new users or those with less flashy computing needs, Mint is a bona-fide Linux essential.Īnd the latest version, dubbed ‘Tessa’ (all Linux Mint releases carry female names), Linux Mint 19.1 comes bearing the goods. But the hugely popular Ubuntu-based distro continues to improve and impress. The freshest release on this list, Linux Mint 19.1 only arrived this month. So good in fact that Mark Shuttleworth recently revealed Canonical will support Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with 10 years of support, all the way up until 2028! The release gets 5 years of free, on-going updates and, for those who need the security and stability, 5 as a paid Extended Support Maintenance release. Ubuntu 18.04 was been a knock-out success. The appeal of a solid Ubuntu foundation, the (then) latest GNOME desktop and a cracking Linux kernel was too much for people to resist. Heck, it even brought Livepatch integration. Thankfully, Canonical got everything right in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.įrom the look (finally updated to work well with modern GTK3 apps) to the addition of a welcome wizard (courteous) through making it easy to use new features, technologies and apps. Would developers adopt it? Would end-users cope? Would people hate change? Would the crucial LTS to LTS upgrades go smoothly?!

These tables compare notable distribution's latest stable release on wide-ranging objective criteria. Other criteria include security, including how quickly security upgrades are available ease of package management and number of packages available. Organizational differences may be motivated by historical reasons. Technical variations of Linux distributions include support for different hardware devices and systems or software package configurations.
