The OS boots up within 15 to 20 seconds and shut downs within a couple of seconds. Linux Mint is faster and lighter than Ubuntu and Windows, especially for computers with old and under powered hardware. Here you can get comparatively faster switching between applications, increased fluidity of interface and more responsive windows. Linux Mint offers a great multi tasking experience with minimal resources usage. See the Linux Mint start menu and Desktop. Like Windows 8, Cinnamon also offers “Hot Corner” feature activate the Workspace OSD. Windows users will be pleased to find the My Computer shortcut in the Mint Desktop. Here you can have your conventional start menu, bottom panel and taskbar. If a user who’s never had Linux experience, will certainly find Linux Mint Cinnamon equally user friendly as XP or even better than the latest Windows 8 Metro interface. If a windows user switches to some Debian destros like Ubuntu, fedora etc, no doubt at least in the very first day he will not be much comfortable with the Desktop environment. If you are new to Linux Desktop versions, no doubt Mint Linux is the best option for you.
