Also: This Linux distro has one of the smartest security features I've seen (and I've tested dozens) However, that's not to say someone with minimal familiarity with the command line would fail with this distribution. For example, if you only need open-source software, NixOS could be a viable option. If, however, you need apps like Chrome, Slack, and Spotify, you might run into some frustration that will send you packing back to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Windows.
Clement "Clem" Lefebvre and the rest of the Linux Mint team have done it again. With the release of , also known as Zara, users get a distribution that's easy to use and packed with helpful improvements to make the daily desktop experience better than ever. As a long-time Linux Mint fan, I'm delighted with this latest release. As in the last version, Linux Mint 22.1, codenamed Xia, the release is based on the Ubuntu 24.04 Long Term Support (LTS) Linux distro.
