Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition

Linux Mint is a community-driven Linux distribution based on Debian and Ubuntu that strives to be a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. The Cinnamon edition is the most popular version of Linux Mint, featuring a desktop environment developed by the Linux Mint team themselves to provide a traditional yet highly customizable user experience.

While the project was founded by Clément Lefèbvre in France, its development occurs globally through a network of volunteers and paid developers. Unlike commercial software companies, Linux Mint is not owned by a massive corporation but is managed by the Linux Mint Community. It is primarily funded through sponsorships, donations, and partnerships with various hardware and software vendors around the world.
