A few days ago the latest version of Linux Mintwhose name is Julia. This version includes many visual and other improvements related to updating the system, installing new applications, etc. New refinements and features included in Julia make the user experience even simpler and more enjoyable. |
Welcome screen
Codec installation and upgrade to DVD edition from that screen.
Menu
Newly installed applications are highlighted, new tools can be found and installed from the repositories, more search engines have been included, and there is support for GTK bookmarks and GTK themes.
Software manager
Application icons and better categorization have been created.
Update manager
Updates can be ignored, and download size is now indicated.
Upload manager
The speed and the estimated time to complete the file upload are displayed on the interface, and also provide connection tests and the ability to cancel those uploads or run them in the background.
New Design
After using the Shiki theme with dark green colors in 3 of the latest versions of Linux Mint, this time they have decided to return to a traditional light theme with a dark background, but also have added metallic finishes for various elements.
System Improvements
Elements such as Adobe Flash, Oracle Virtualbox, the comfortable use of signature verified repositories (no more warnings appear, but questions to validate them), the use of meta packages -such as "mint-meta-codecs" -, and a adjustment system compatible with the LSB standard.

The old version of Mint left a bad taste in my mouth, but this one really liked it. Just the reverse of what I felt with Lucid and Marverick.
Greetings.
Something similar happens to me! 😛
Cheers! Paul.
I had never seen a version of Linux Mint before, and the 10 only used it out of curiosity and the truth seems to me very good and with good style, for someone who starts in the world of GNU / Linux totally recommended.
Yes, for those new to Linux it is the best! 🙂
Cheers! Paul.
You have to pay close attention to Linux Mint and its development team: they are doing things well, very well. I think Mint is already positioned as one of the great Debian distros. Although she is Ubuntu's younger sister (whose father is Debian), she has already developed a personality of her own and is beautiful, stable, and best of all, a little easier to use than the rest of the distros.
However, there are two things that are making me absolutely happy: That the Mint team is committed to being conservative, stable and simple. Everyone knows the revolution that comes with Gnome-shell, and Canonical's commitment to Unity (projects that for my taste still have a long way to go). At this point the Mint team announces (to the delight of many) that it is betting on Gnome 3 with a traditional desktop: excellent.
Another point to take into account is that beauty called LMDE, I think this flavor is one of the great ideas of this year and it may be the way that gives Mint that push to position itself as one of the most stable distros but with its philosophy. of simplicity and simplicity that they have always had. It is also rolling release which for me is the best.
Therefore, I repeat: let's pay attention to Linux Mint (in all its flavors) because its boys are doing things well, very well.
I have been without W for a year and a half, I started with Ubuntu, but this year I met LM Isadora and the experience has really been fabulous, I have not had problems and I think I will not move from this distro for a long time ... besides, as many say, This distro is really simple, I installed it on the computer of a 12-year-old nephew and I was delighted, he also gave up W and it is already handled well, now I installed it on my mother's computer and 0 problems ... I think the group of developers have done well by creating a simple distro that allows more people to abandon that nightmare called W ...
I see that they are all very good at Linux .. someone could help me with my doubts
give me some way to communicate with them and explain it to me?
Someone could .. help a lot thanks
