The 18th Edition of Linux Mint finally officially launched by Clement Livebre and his team. Mint 18 with codename Sarah is presented based on the Ubuntu LTS 16.04. 18 Mint also became the starting point of the new strategy of Linux Mint which converts the schemes with the release of the single's release based on Ubuntu LTS. It means, well that Linux Mint 18, 18.1, 18.2, 18.3 or later will be supported until the year 2021.
At this time I only review discusses desktop Cinnamon and MATE, because there used to be two this desktop is indeed typical belonging to the Mint.
What's new in LINUX Mint 18
There are some interesting things, while making some pros cons. Here are some of them that I can auto summary.
1. Multimedia Codecs that are not included anymore
Yes, you read it wrong. Multimedia codecs on Linux Mint 18 onwards will not be all-in-one included again. We have to put up an manual, as well as in Ubuntu. The reason is the limitations of the license and the legality in some countries such as the US and the European Union which requires the purchase of licenses a number of codecs.
Quiet, though not default installed, we are given a special menu to be able to install the codec completely.
2. Update Manager with new concept
New concept Mint offered 18 passing German Manager Update is indeed interesting. Rather than present you with a selection of sentences that geeky, the new Update Manager is quite clear and simple explained his choice:
Don't break my computer (not to the computer ngrusak)
Optimize stability and security (adds stability & security system)
Always update everything (update any existing)
Very useful for beginners who are new to using Linux
3. New Themes, Mint-Y
The name of the default themes on Mint 18 indeed still Mint-X. But the Mint developers have started to incorporate new themes on the 18th, that Mint Mint-Y. As usual, Mint-Y also comes in two editions, Light and Dark. It looks more flat and cool.
4. Two Finger Scroll like Mac OS
18 good Cinnamon or Mint MATE officially supports Two Finger Scroll like MacOS. Despite hanging with the touchpad that is installed on the Laptop, but at least for the touchpad that is quite wide and the new exodus can already use this feature.
5. Context Menu for each Icon in the Launcher
Each icon embedded in the Launcher Cinnamon/MATE now have contextual menus respectively. For example, for Firefox shows menu icon ' New Window ', ' New Private Window '. for icon Screenshoot, appearing menu ' Take a Screenshoot of the Whole Screen ' etc.
6. Migration to the command APT
Linux Mint also follows the trend of Debian and Ubuntu are built, it was moved to command the old IE from the command apt apt-get. The use of a program/command apt proved very effective and fast, because shorter typed.
Overall it is the stuff that's new in Linux Mint 18. In General, this release still continue the tradition of flavors of Mint, although with significant changes in the field of multimedia.
Better look and feel
Thanks to upgrades and new implementations, Cinnamon 3.2 brings back some visual changes which had been disabled in the past for stability reasons:
- Background changes are now complimented by cross-fade animations.
- Lists, such as the list of applications in the main menu, now use fade effects to render their edges.
It is now possible to make Cinnamon play a sound when a notification pops up. This is a new setting available in "System Settings" -> "Sound" -> "Sound Effects".
The most striking difference in the new Cinnamon though is the removal of "box pointers". The shape of the menus used to "point" to their parent object, creating a gap between applets and panels and making it hard for applets to properly stick to the edges of the screen.
Menus in Cinnamon 3.2 now look like this:
Main components
Linux Mint 18.1 features Cinnamon 3.2, MDM 2.0, a Linux kernel 4.4 and an Ubuntu 16.04 package base.
LTS strategy
Linux Mint 18.1 will receive security updates until 2021.
Until 2018, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 18, making it trivial for people to upgrade.
Until 2018, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.
