Linux Mint 13 Xfce edition Officially released | Best Desktop Linux Distribution

--> The Linux mint team has announced the availability of the Xfce edition of Linux Mint 13, codename Maya. From the release announcement : "The highlight of this edition is the latest Xfce 4.10 desktop, which features the following improvements: online documentation; application finder; multiple rows and deskbar mode in the panel; actions plugin; MIME type editor; single-click operation, automated background image cycling and thumbnail rendering on the desktop; edge-tiling in the window manager. In the past, the xfapplet plugin made it possible for Xfce users to run GNOME applets within the Xfce panel. After talking to the MATE and Xfce developers, we updated this plugin and it now supports MATE applets. Among the many MATE applets that can now run in Xfce, mintMenu is probably the most popular. Improvements were made to mintMenu so that it could support Thunar, the Xfce Settings Manager and other aspects of the Xfce desktop...."

Compare Linux Distros : Ubuntu vs Fedora vs Mint vs openSUSE

Compare Linux distros : Ubuntu 12.04 vs Fedora 17 vs Linux Mint 13 vs Opensuse 12.1 | Linux distros compared

Ubuntu 12.04, Fedora 17, Linux Mint 13 and Opensuse 12.1, all of these distributions are very popular and each of them has millions of users under their cloud.All of them are top quality linux distributions with solid stability and performance, support for popular software, and good-looking interfaces.

--> "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others".Ubuntu developers spread this message to the tech world.Ubuntu is sponsored by Canonical PVT Ltd.Ubuntu and Linux mint are based on the same core,more frankly Linux mint is developed on Ubuntu core and Ubuntu is ultimately based on Debian Linux.So almost everything is the same except the look and default softwares including the third party softwares. Linux mint provides a more complete experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java,configuration tools and other components.The current stable release of Ubuntu is 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" and for mint it is version 13 named as "Maya".The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation by millions of Linux developers in the world.The project releases newer versions 2-
3 times a year and the current release is Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle".The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by Novell promoting the use of Linux everywhere like the default green colour theme they use, Remember Its green everywhere.

The major difference between Ubuntu and Linux mint are the default user interfaces.Mint developed Cinnamon by mixing the gnome 3 shell and gnome 2 features.Many users who were the big fans of the old gnome 2 have appreciated Linux mint for this great Cinnamon.Ubuntu also changed from gnome 3 and they are using their own interface called Unity.Fedora uses the gnome 3 in full format and it has become a trademark for gnome 3.Opensuse also comes with gnome edition even though the best KDE experience is what we expect from Opensuse.One more thing, Ubuntu's Unity interface seems to work on any hardware even in old machines, while Gnome-shell only works on suitably modern 3d-capable video hardware,Only the fallback mode works in old computers.

Gnome 3 is accepted by most of the old gnome 2 users by now.But Unity is still trying hard to make a gall.Still i think KDE and Gnome 3 are the best desktop interfaces in the Linux world.

Best desktop Linux distro - Linux mint 13 aka MAYA

The best linux distribution for desktop - Linux mint 13 "Maya"

--> Linux mint 13"Maya" is the best linux distribution currently available.Linux mint 13 features gnome 3 with mint shell extensions.It is called as "Cinnamon".It is very easy to switch back to gnome 3 from cinnamon by just disabling some of the extensions.Cinnamon looks like gnome 2 with the bottom taskbar,but it also has the new shell features of gnome 3.So many people who love the look of old gnome will taste the nostalgia.Linux mint also comes with the traditional desktop environment named as MATE desktop environment.
