Linux Mint is a community-driven Linux distribution based on Ubuntu (which is in turn based on Debian), bundled with a variety of free and open-source applications.[6][7] It can provide full out-of-the-box multimedia support for those who choose to include proprietary software such as multimedia codecs.[8] Compared to standard Ubuntu, it uses the Cinnamon interface in the most popular edition,[9] using a different, more traditional layout that can be customized by dragging the applets and creating panels. New applets can also be downloaded.[10]

The Linux Mint project was created by Clément Lefèbvre and is actively maintained by the Linux Mint Team and community.[11]
