Linux Mint Is Simple, Easy And Stable
The most recommended Linux distribution for Linux newbies is the Linux Mint. It’s easy to understand and easy to use. I remember when I first tried to switch to Linux using Ubuntu, I could not. I could not understand that strange look of Ubuntu. Although today I use Ubuntu as a primary operating system. I quickly realized that I should figure out the correct distro for me. Then I found this video of Nixie Pixel. That’s the smallest video I could get. I quickly downloaded the distro, installed it. I learned it very quickly, understood how stuff works in Linux.

Improved Update Manager
Update manager in Linux Mint already has the great features that help users choosing the fastest update server and also let users know what update they should install and what not. In Linux Mint 18 the update manager has been improved even more. Users now have the ability to first decide what type of updates they should installed to make their system stable.
