Overall Satisfaction with Linux Mint

I use Linux Mint for several special use cases. In general, it provides fast, stable, inexpensive solutions to problems that would otherwise need expensive, cumbersome software. I would rather use Linux Mint then start new relationships with vendors that I would then have to manage them and their software while paying a premium.
  • Effieciency
  • Stability
  • Scripting
  • Low cost solutions
  • some more User Interfaces - like for services
  • Ease of use
  • stability
  • flexibility
  • Price
  • It has saved tens of thousands of dollars just for being our air-gapped backup solution. other software would have been very expensive, and harder to manage
  • Providing simple, easy to use applications (docker, for example) that can quickly, easily, and inexpensively deployed saves many, many hours and dollars
Linux Mint has the stability of all the great linux distros with the best UI of any of them.

Yes

Did implementation of Linux Mint go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Linux Mint again?

Yes

Linux Mint is a great, stable product when you need an OS and software to "just work". I use it for file servers, docker, scripting, air-gapped backups, email notifications and more. Simple, inexpensive and stable. That's how software should be, and that's what Mint delivers on.

The main thing holding Mint and other Linux distros back is the corporate walls that have been built shutting everything out except Microsoft. If companies would start supporting Linux better with their hardware and software we could and would ditch Microsoft in a heartbeat. but, alas, Microsoft has a stranglehold on businesses.
