Is Linux Mint faster than Windows for real? Y’know, I reckon it probably is Linux Mint 19.x family feels peppy in general. Once Linux is installed on your PC, you should be given the option to boot into it right away, but that might not happen. In all but one of the tests Linux Mint out performs Windows 10, albeit by margins that some might argue don’t matter or are (in some cases) only marginally perceptible delays (hey, I’m trying to be balanced here). Now, I don’t know the exact testing methodology used for this test but the results do make for an interesting, if somewhat anecdotal, read. Linux Mint vs Windows 10ĭXM Tech Supports’ James Mawson says he used a HP 245 G6 laptop powered by an AMD E2-9000e APU in the tests, and vanilla installs of Windows 10 ( May 2019 update) and Linux Mint 19.1 (Cinnamon edition).įirefox 67 and Slack 3.4.2 were used on both operating systems but different versions of LibreOffice (6.0.7 vs 6.2) and GIMP (2.8 vs 2.10) were used due to Linux Mint being based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. You can learn more about the test machine and the choice of applications in the accompanying blog post (link no longer valid, so removed March 2021). On Windows, WSL is the platform that allows you to run Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu and Debian) using a lightweight virtual machine, alongside Windows, without the need for setting up.
A comfortable win for Linux Mint, isn’t it? Windows 12 Release date Several reports have indicated that Microsoft could be ready to release a new OS, Windows 12 (name yet to be confirmed) in 2024.
