Linux Mint is a community-developed Linux distribution. It is based on Ubuntu and designed for x86-64 based computers; another variant is based on Debian which is named Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and has both 64-bit and IA-32 support. The Linux Mint project started in 2006 and it has since become one of the most popular Linux operating systems for desktop PCs.[7][8]

It comes bundled with a variety of free and open-source applications.[9][10][11] Linux Mint has its own desktop environment, called Cinnamon,[b] although it also offers Xfce and MATE as alternatives by default.[12] The latest release is Linux Mint 22 "Wilma", released on July 25, 2024; as an LTS release, it will be supported until 2029.
