I love Ubuntu because of the level of support of almost all hardware and packages and love the Mint desktop. You can install Cinnamon on Ubuntu and make the desktop act like Mint. That is my preference. The best of both worlds. Ubuntu depth and Mint friendliness.
For non-Linux people there is a prepackaged version @ https://ubuntucinnamon.org/
how do you go about authenticating the download? i didn’t see any verification number (Can’t remember what it’s called- it’s a security number to make sure the download is authentic and not mucked with)
Thanks. I might try it. The regular distribution works well for me.
