Linux Mint is a community-developed Linux distribution based primarily on Ubuntu, with an alternative version based on Debian known as Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). It is available for x86-64 systems, while LMDE also supports the IA-32 architecture. First released in 2006, Linux Mint is often noted for its ease of use, out-of-the-box functionality, and appeal to desktop users.[7][8] It comes bundled with a selection of free and open-source software. The default desktop environment is Cinnamon, developed by the Linux Mint team, with MATE and Xfce available as alternatives.[9][10][11][12]
