KDE users know them as Plasmoids, Android users know them as widgets, and I think they're a waste of desktop space whatever you call them.
It also now comes with a feature that I've never been that much in love with: free-standing desktop applications. The latest version of the Cinnamon file manager, Nemo, makes it simple to switch from multiple viewpoints including the oldie, but goodie, file-tree view. It's built on top of Ubuntu 13.04, which, in turn, is based on Debian Linux.Ĭinnamon itself is now up to version 1.8 and contains over a thousand new improvements and fixes since its last major version. Under the hood, hardcore Linux users will find the Linux 3.8 kernel.

In the event, you do have exotic hardware, however, Mint now includes a Driver Manager to make it easier to manage which driver to use with your devices. The days when Linux had trouble with commonplace PC hardware is history. This included automatic support for the ATI graphics, a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000, and various Wi-Fi hardware. This computer boasts a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 Processor, 4GBs of RAM, a 500GB hard drive and an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor. My other test system is my tank of a laptop, a Lenovo ThinkPad T520 laptop. It also has 8GBs of RAM, a 2-Terabyte hard drive, and an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphic card. This powerhouse desktop comes with a 3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor. In my own case, I tested 64-bit Mint on two systems. With the built-in Secure Boot bug out of the way, I think you'll find Mint to be an exceptional desktop. The easily way of installing Mint, or anything else, on a Windows 8 is to use your PC's Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) settings to turn Secure Boot off.

Just keep in mind that thanks to Windows 8's Secure Boot system lock-in, it's very difficult to install any other operating system on a Windows 8 PC.
You can download Linux Mint 15, which is now is a release candidate, and try it for yourself.
