What linux needs is: while installing, present choices for all programs in all major categories. This is a big problem in linuxworld, what the developer thinks I need or want is hardly so in most cases.

None of those would be my option in their categories. “You’ll find Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Rythmbox, GIMP, and Transmission all installed by default, so you’ll have a great head-start on having everything you need.” Boy, is that subjective ever. This system was installed on a SATA SSD, not NVME, but it flew when installing things, surfing the web, and when writing this review. With LibreOffice Writer open and Firefox with 3 tabs open, my system used at most 6% CPU usage, and 2.5GB of RAM used. My machine is no slouch, so I expected smooth performance, but I was a little surprised at how snappy and responsive the system was, even with everything at default. You’ll find Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Rythmbox, GIMP, and Transmission all installed by default, so you’ll have a great head-start on having everything you need. Ubuntu Cinnamon 22.04 also comes with pretty well all the basic essentials, providing you did not select ‘minimal’ during install. In regards to the Active Directory support, the Ubuntu blog says, “In 22.04 we bring Active Directory integration to the next level with full installer integration and ADsys, a client that enables full Group Policy support, privilege escalation and remote script execution.”

LINUX MINT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS DRIVERS
During installation I did opt for installing third party drivers and codecs, so when installation was done and I was booted into the system my GPU worked quite fine and I had zero issues at all when testing things out.
LINUX MINT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS INSTALL
Installing the system was a breeze, and I was able to install the OS alongside a windows partition on the same drive, without any issues. Audio through DAC/Amp combo unit plugged in via USB-CĪt this point, if your Linux OS doesn’t install in 5 minutes with very few button clicks, you’re doing it wrong.And thankfully, Ubuntu Cinnamon does it right.However, I adore the Cinnamon environment, and it's a constant battle between Cinnamon and KDE for supremacy in my world.So, I decided to give Ubuntu Cinnamon 22.04 a spin, and boy am I glad I did!
