Which Linux Mint to choose for an ultrabook? What is the difference?

Answer 1

Installation images differ in what DE will be delivered during installation. The repositories are common and do not differ from each other in any way. From one of the images you will install Cinnamon from the disk, from the other you will install Mate. At the same time, you can then deliver both the second and normal DE from the Ubuntu repositories, do not forget that Mint is just a few packages of your DEs, and everything else is there from a normal distribution, it’s just that Popov’s syndrome haunted the authors and I wanted to call the assembly of two DEs a distribution .

Answer 2

The one you like more.
I chose ubuntu server inside vagrant.

Answer 3

Install Linux Mint 17.1 MATE (with codec support) - Beautiful environment, everything is stable, fresh and without glitches.
There is also LMDE 2 (Based on Dedian) - Pretty raw version (in a couple of years I think it will be better), the programs are old and buggy, I installed it myself and demolished it because of glitches.
Now on a Linux Mint 17.1 MATE laptop (with codec support) - everything works fine out of the box.

Answer 4

Do not worry, take any, all distributors have grown up and mature, everyone has a stable one.
Debian and Ubuntu on servers for the most part, take them

Answer 5

If you are not familiar with Linux, then for a start you should try to sit on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, because this distribution kit has the largest community, both English-speaking and Russian-speaking. Also, if you encounter difficulties, you can find any question you are interested in on Google, because someone has described the solution to your problem.

Answer 6

I want to become a Linux sysadmin. Which distribution kit to choose?

The choice is small: Ubuntu/Debian or CentOS. These are server distributions.
Ubuntu is the most convenient.

Answer 7

Anyone, as long as it's Debian.

Answer 8

I chose Mint 17.X, even though there is a brake cinnamon.

Answer 9

ubuntu is a good place to start

Answer 10

SUSE Linux Enterprise (openSUSE) and Red Hat Enterprise (Fedora, CentOS), well, Debian is also worth knowing.

Answer 11

You need to be able to deal with everyone, everything can be needed in the work. And for this you need to master well the philosophy of Linux, the directory structure, learn the features of the main software. You should start with Debian, it is very often used in the admin. Admins also love CentOS, Red Hat.

Answer 12

The question is not what kind of distro to take, but "what to do with it"
As a desktop , something from ubunta, as the most customized for the user.
When you play enough with the desktop, you can also install the server , there is your own software.
For servers, Gentoo or Freebsd is best. But this is subjective. Both are good, but on loads Gentoo wins
