The operating system is fully focused on desktop computers (instead of server), even no server version exists. Linux Mint comes with a beautiful and modern graphical user interface, which has the default Cinnamon desktop environment currently, while more desktop environments like Matte and KDE are supported, and are available in different installation ISO files. Like the Ubuntu Desktop, it was bundled with a wide range of useful software applications such as LibreOffice (Office software), Thunderbird (email client), Firefox (web browser), VLC media player, Backup tool, Media Player, etc. While more software is available through package manager.SpecificationAvailable in100+ languages (via language pack)CPU Platform(s)IA-32, X86-64LicenseFree and open-source softwareSystem requirementsMinimum (for all editions):x86 processor.512 MB of RAM.5 GB of free space.DVD drive or USB port.Installation instructionsStarting installer in PC (via USB)Follow the steps given below:Download the Linux Mint 16 ISO image file from the download section.Install a USB bootable creation software (such as Rufus) on your Windows PC.Plug in a USB flash drive (at least 8 GB of free space available) with your PC.Open the USB bootable creation software, and select the ISO image file of Linux Mint 16, and start the process.As soon as done, plug the bootable USB into a system where you want to install Linux Mint 16.Restart the target computer.Press the boot device menu key and select USB to boot first.Select USB device and start the Linux Mint 16 installer.Starting installer in VMwareDownload the Linux Mint 16 ISO image file from the download section.Launch the VMware Player,

Became unreliable as a base, I assumed virtually no one felt the need to use it. Evidently I was wrong, and even if I'm not, there's something to be said for archiving these distros too. Since these are just download counts, we don't know how much these ISOs are actually getting used or in what way. Still, it's interesting to know which version of the distro seems to get the most attention. You can see the complete breakdown with some nice charts in the blog post linked below. Related Firefox in Peril The Linux Mint team also issued a warning in their blog post about the version of Mozilla Firefox packaged in their repositories. A root certificate—basically what tells other pieces of software that this piece of software is trustworthy and not malware—is going to expire for Firefox 128 and earlier on March 15. When that happens, Firefox will stop working correctly. The Mint blog names specifically a few expected problems, including broken add-ons and lost access to DRM-protected content. That would include content like music streamed over Spotify, for example, if you happen to use the Spotify web player. To avoid those problems, you need to use the Update Manager to update Firefox to the latest available release. Linux Mint has long been a big name in the world of Linux distributions (distros), perhaps best-known as a go-to distro for people who are comfortable with Windows motifs. In other words, if you've spent your life using Windows, you should feel relatively at home using Linux Mint. Still, we have writers here at How-To Geek who are familiar with Windows and use Linux but don't want a distro like Mint. The changes announced with this blog post are still forthcoming, presumably in the next release, Mint 22.2, but we don't know that for sure. If you want to try Linux Mint yourself, you can get an ISO from the Linux Mint download page. Then, take that ISO and follow our guide to installing Linux to complete the process. Source: OMG!

Summary The application menu for the Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint is getting a redesign. Download stats were released for all the different editions of Mint, with some surprising results. Firefox 128 and earlier is going to break on Mint soon, so you need to update to make sure you can keep using it. The team behind Linux Mint has made several interesting announcements about the popular Linux distribution and what's going on behind the scenes. Aside from previewing a fresh coat of paint, they're also warning you to update Firefox. A Cinnamon Redesign The most eye-catching announcement is that the application menu in the Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint is being redesigned. The menu will now show on the left side some pinned folders in addition to your favorite apps, and with titles next to them instead of just icons. Your username and profile picture will appear above those folders and apps. Your entire app library, divided into app categories, will appear on the right side of that. The session buttons (for logging out and rebooting) have been moved from a vertical stack on the left to a horiziontal group on the bottom-right of the menu. You can compare below the new version on the left and the default look of the old version as of Linux Mint 22 on the right. The full list of applications grouped by type was already the default for Cinnamon. That menu has been shrunk to accommodate the list of pinned folders and apps and their titles. The corners of the menu are also significantly rounder, which would better match the rounded corners on application windows in Cinnamon. Cinnamon is just one desktop environment you can choose from when you download a Linux Mint image to install. The other options are Xfce and MATE, and I haven't heard if those other editions are getting similar refreshes.

Download Stats Released Speaking of alternative editions of Mint, the development team also shared on their blog a breakdown of which desktop editions and which releases are getting downloaded from their website. Mint doesn't collect telemetry from the operating system itself, so but it does track how often the various ISO files are downloaded. For desktop editions, out of over 98,000 downloads, the breakdown was as follows: Cinnamon: 44.8% Xfce: 22.28% MATE: 16.95% LMDE 6: 9.4% EDGE: 5.8% I was personally surprised at how popular LMDE editions are at 9.4 percent. Knowing the Debian edition is intended as a fallback distro in case Ubuntu ever

Of memory if you’re running a 32-bit version of the operating system and 2GB if you’re bumping up to a 64-bit version.Next, you’ll be asked to create a hard disk for Windows 7. Again, you’ll need slightly more space for a 64-bit version of the OS (20GB minimum) than a 32-bit version of the OS (16GB minimum). You’ll also want to think about how much other stuff you’ll want to stuff on your Windows 7 instance—data, apps, et cetera—and decide accordingly. Credit: David Murphy I’m skipping screens a bit, because this is the one that’s most important. How much space should Windows 7 eat up? Credit: David Murphy If you choose poorly, don’t freak out. You can embiggen this virtual hard drive later. Life goes on.Once you click on “create,” you’re halfway done. You’ll want to click on your virtual machine in the listing, and then click on the “Settings” icon. There’s plenty to play with in here, but I recommend checking out two key sections: ”System,” which will let you assign additional processors to your virtual machine if you want to boost its speed a bit, and the ever-critical “Storage.”Once you get to “Storage,” you’re going to want to take a moment to pull up a web browser in Linux Mint and navigate over to Microsoft’s site, where you’ll be able to download a full disk image (.ISO) of Windows 7. Yes, you’ll need your product key for this.Once you’ve downloaded that .ISO to Linux Mint, head back to VirtualBox’s storage settings. Click on the disc icon under “Storage Devices,” and then click on the similar-looking disc icon on the right side of the window. Select “Choose Virtual Optical Disk File,” and go find that Windows 7 .ISO. Credit: David Murphy There’s more you can play with in Settings—like sharing a folder from Linux Mint (like “Downloads”) that you can then pull up in Windows 7, if you want—but you’ve now checked off all the basic requirements. You can fire up your virtual machine via the big green “start” arrow on the main screen and begin the process of

And my USB drive. Creating the partitions ahead of time prevented Win8 from creating the hidden 100 MB partition. Once everything was installed, I used Acronis True Image to create an image of the c: drive. If my drive crashes or I swap drives, I use Acronis to restore my c: drive image.I guess it doesn't matter how you got it to work, the important thing is you got it to work!Sep 25th, 2014 1:51 pm#17ShadowVlicanDeal Expert Jun 12, 2003 15272 posts 1714 upvotes Markham Sep 25th, 2014 1:51 pmjian1 wrote: ↑Can u send me an iso file?
