![]() Of course, it depends on Ubuntu as the base but Linux Mint does make bold changes if the community does not like something from the upstream.įor instance, Linux Mint disabled snaps by default unlike official Ubuntu distro. ![]() On the other hand, Linux Mint is completely backed up by a passionate Linux community focusing on making Linux easier and reliable for everyday use. However, just because Fedora is not built for the daily computer users in mind, the choices made with every release may affect your user experience entirely. Corporate vs Community Angleįedora is backed up by the biggest open-source company Red Hat – so you get a good level of constant innovation and support for the long run. The Linux Mint forums is a basic platform which is easy to use and gets the job done.įedora’s forum is powered by Discourse, which happens to be one of the most popular modern open-source forum software. You will get a good community support for both. On the other hand, Linux Mint’s documentation is not regularly updated but useful when you want to dig deeper. You will find up-to-date information for recent and latest Fedora releases, which is a good thing. I would recommend going for Fedora’s documentation if you rely on resources and want to challenge yourself with a decent learning experience along the process. So, in my experience, I will recommend Linux Mint with a better out of the experience. Yes, you should always try to troubleshoot when you run into issues, but I did not need to do that for Linux Mint. Not just that, for some reason, my wired network did not seem to be active – hence, I had no internet connectivity. Now, you need to understand that depending on the hardware configuration, every user might end up having a different “out-of-the-box” experience.īut, for a reference, let me just give you my example for both Fedora and Linux Mint.Ĭonsidering I’m rocking an NVIDIA GPU on my PC, I need to install the proprietary drivers for the best performance. The most hassle-free experience is usually the pleasant option. It is a good way to test the installation experience before trying it out on your production system of any sort. ![]() If you’ve never tried it, I suggest you to go through our Fedora installation guide for VirtualBox. While Fedora is not complex by definition but the installation options, package manager, and lack of software in the default repositories may prove to be a time-consuming factor. Starting from the installation experience in Ubuntu to the ease of installing software while having the option to opt for an LTS release is what a beginner finds handy.Īnd, Linux Mint naturally presents the same benefits of Ubuntu with Ubiquity installer – hence, it offers a minimal learning curve, easy to install and easy to use. Ease of Use & Installationįor an entirely new user, Ubuntu or any Ubuntu-based distribution generally fares well to start with. ![]() So, with Linux Mint, overall, you get more packages available to install and more ways to install software, out of the box. Also, the RPM Fusion repository may not be as huge as Ubuntu’s universe repository. Not just limited to that, Linux Mint also comes packed with Synaptic Package Manager which is an impressive lightweight tool to install software.Įven though you can enable third-party repositories in Fedora, it is yet an additional step. But Fedora’s default repository sticks only to open-source applications. The default repositories of Linux Mint (or Ubuntu’s) offer a wide range of software to install.
