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] Linux Mint can come with three different desktop environments by default; Cinnamon (developed for Linux Mint by its team), Xfce, and MATE.[9]
The Linux Mint project was created by Clément Lefèbvre and is actively maintained by the Linux Mint Team and community.[10]
