Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best Linux Distro

So the review has two parts: 1. Linux Mint with Cinnamon Desktop and 2. The USB distro sold here.1. Linux Mint with Cinnamon Desktop is easy to download and flash to any USB or writable optical media. It's very easy to install and much less resource hungry than Windows 10. I used it to fix an HP with a 32GB hard drive SSD that ran out of space with Windows 10, no apps, no documents, none Pictures, not video. just an operating system that could no longer be updated. The same 32GB SSD runs a full Linux operating system with Cinnamon Desktop, with 20GB of free space for apps, documents, pictures, and videos. Linux boots and runs faster and with a number of MS Office compatible packages available (one of which is installed with Linux Mint) and GNU software that is compatible with everything, replacing anything made by Adobe and other big, expensive software labels , it is the ideal solution for "outdated, undersized for Windows" laptops to surf the web and check email.2. This USB distribution: The first one I got didn't work. I returned it and while waiting for a USB replacement I found Linux Mint online with simple instructions on how to download and flash the ISO onto a 4GB USB stick for quick and easy installation and you can run 8 -GB USB sticks in 5 packs less than the cost of buying that particular item. Go to linuxmint.com and use this 4GB USB drive now.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
