Title: Linux Mint 19.1: The better-than-ever Linux desktop
Post by: Blizzardnh on December 23, 2018, 12:57:10 pm

 was just reminded again why I use Linux desktops. Two-and-a-half months after its release, the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-october-2018-update-now-fully-available-to-download-says-microsoft/) is finally recommending "advanced users" can install it. Personally, I like running operating systems that don't destroy my data or come with Blue Screens of Death (https://www.zdnet.com/article/after-windows-10s-buggy-patches-microsoft-talks-up-its-high-quality-fixes/). It also doesn't hurt any that the latest long-term support (LTS) release of Linux Mint (https://linuxmint.com/), Mint 19.1 (https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3669), is a superb desktop.As before, I really like Mint's traditional windows, icons, menus, and pointers (WIMP) interface. The default Cinnamon 4.0 (https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3649) desktop is faster and snappier than ever.
What's that? You like the newer desktop styles? Well, Mint 19.1 has you covered, too.

Install KVM and fire up a VM.
