But if you don’t do at installation, you will find yourself struggling.

Ubuntu too gives the option to install codecs while installing OS itself. It’s not that you cannot install media codecs in Ubuntu. Codecs, Flash and plenty of applications by default So, for users who want out of the box customizability and the support for applets/desklets with the ease of managing them, Linux Mint will be a perfect choice.
You can also access an online collection of indicator applets and desklets ( Windows like desktop widgets in Linux). Similarly, Linux Mint also has a separate entry in Settings for applets and desklets. You’ll have to look at places to download the zipped themes file and then install it. Ubuntu, on the other hand, does not have this ease in installing the themes. On top of that, you can have several themes from the community at your disposal in Themes System Settings under ‘Get more online’ option. It already lets you tweak it from the System Settings. Personally, I haven’t noticed it slow down, it is always snappy whenever you need it.įirst, you don’t need to install a new tool (like GNOME Tweak) just to change themes in Mint.

On the other hand, Linux Mint’s Software Manager is lighter and quicker.
Of course, things have improved over the years but even with Ubuntu 20.04, on board, you will often notice it loading up slow or freezing when updating/installing an app. Ubuntu Software Center takes ages to load, heavily eats up resources, and is slow while interacting with it. Software Manager: faster, sleeker, lighter Linux Mint Software Manager Of course, you can install Cinnamon on Ubuntu but we are discussing the default desktop environments here. But if you have a core i3 processor with 4GB of RAM (or lower), Cinnamon desktop gets the win technically. Of course, if you have a core i7 with 16 GB of RAM, this won’t matter. This makes it an ideal choice for computers with older configuration. But, out of the box, without any modifications, Linux Mint seems to be light on resources. It is worth noting that the memory consumption depends on what applications you’re running and if they’re resource-friendly. Even though the difference isn’t huge, Linux Mint tends to get an edge with a lower memory consumption over Ubuntu.
