NOTE: There is now a new version of Linux Mint (version 17.1) Click here for a review of Linux Mint 17.1 Today I am going to be reviewing Linux Mint 17 with the Cinnamon desktop environment which is the best that Linux Mint has to offer.
The best Linux alternative for Windows 7 that I have found thus far is probably Zorin OS 8. Windows 7 is probably the best version of Windows there has ever been. Windows 7 users are not running out of support and there isn't all that much wrong with Windows 7, especially if you have used it for a while. I have already written articles giving 5 reasons why Lubuntu might be better for Windows XP users and that PCLinuxOS might be better for Windows XP users with more powerful machines and Windows Vista users.įor Windows 8 users, I would imagine that just about any flavour of Linux is preferable but I would probably lean towards Ubuntu as I think Ubuntu provides the killer new desktop that Windows 8 has tried to introduce but in a much better way. One of the hardest sells is trying to convince someone who is using Windows 7 that there is a version of Linux suitable for them.
I believe that there is a version of Linux out there for everyone.
