User rating:. Some of the reasons for the success of Linux Mint are: It works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use.
It's both free of cost and open source. It's community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint. Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30, packages and one of the best software managers.
It's safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware Requirements bit architecture Although both bit and bit versions of Linux Mint To upgrade to Linux Mint 20 you need to be running the bit version of Linux Mint In this case you cannot upgrade and you need to stick with Linux Mint What's New: Linux Mint Although they're technically different than APT updates, they are presented to you in a very similar manner.
You can see the same kind of information for them, and enjoy the same features as you did already, such as the ability to blacklist a particular spice or a version of a spice. You can also automate spice updates. In automatic mode spices are upgraded shortly after you log in and the desktop environment then gets refreshed. This is barely visible Cinnamon restarts itself seamlessly, you just see the mouse cursor get reset on the screen when this happens and a notification pops up to show you what was upgraded.
Automated Cinnamon Spice updates Notifications In the past, available updates were simply indicated by a little orange dot on the Update Manager's icon in the system tray and could go unnoticed for long periods of time. In Linux Mint Updates notification This new notification feature was designed to add comfort to the user experience, not remove any, so making sure it was a nice addition and not an annoying distraction was key.
The way this is handled in other operating systems such as Windows or Mac for instance was an example Linux Mint did not want to follow. For the notification to be welcomed and welcomed again it needs to happen for a reason, to be easy to dismiss if your are busy, to not come back constantly and to not come back at all for a long while after you apply the updates.
When a notification is dismissed it is snoozed for 2 days. When updates are applied it goes away for a long time. The conditions for the notification to be shown in the first place are configurable. Notification preferences By default, the Update Manager shows a notification if a particular update has been available for more than 7 logged-in days or if it's older than 15 calendar days.
These values can be configured all the way down to 2 days or all the way up to 3 months. By default the Update Manager also only counts security and kernel updates as being relevant for notifications but you can change that in the preferences.
The last setting is a grace period. If any update has been applied on your computer in the last 30 days, whether it's via the Update Manager or via another APT software, no notifications will be shown. On computers where updates are not wanted and 3 months is not enough there's no need to keep the Update Manager running in the background and it can be disabled entirely. Other improvements The Update Manager handles the automation of Flatpak updates.
