Abstract

In today's information environment, Linux-based operating systems play a key role, especially as servers, as well as in scientific, educational, and everyday use. Linux Mint is one of the most popular distributions, known for its user-friendliness and focus on ease of use [1]. Linux Mint consistently ranks in the top 5 distributions according to DistroWatch [2], second only to MX Linux. One of the main advantages of this distribution is its pre-installed graphical environment and low hardware requirements. The main editions of Linux Mint are: Cinnamon, which features a modern interface with smooth animations, customizable panels, and a user-friendly menu;MATE, a lightweight version with a classic interface, suitable for users with older PCs; XFCE, the least resource-demanding edition, ideal for very old or low-spec devices.
