Is anyone here using it? Is it any good for gaming?
What all apps does the pro version come with?
Is the Core version good for gaming and daily use?

Not even sure what you are talking about. I'm gonna assume those are softwares I don't use.


Hynotix seems to be a part of Linux Mint Cinnamon.
Kodi covers Windows, linux etc.
Both allow the user to watch tv etc.

Also, just how secure is the OS? I currently use Bitdefender.
As long as you stick to official sources for your softwares, Mint is just as secure as any other distro out there.
Linux in general is secure. It's way less targeted by malware than Windows. And even if you do get hit by malware, it usually dosen't have the opportunity to spread due to how permissions work on Linux.

Linux is secure, don't worry too much about it. That said, just as Windows, it's as secure as it's weakest link. AKA the user.

Do not download installers from the web like you do on Windows, and keep you system updated, then the risk of getting malware is effectively zero.

On Linux anti-virus is rarely needed. And the available anti-virus programs for Linux mostly detect Windows malware. If anything anti-virus is a major weakness in a Linux system and it should not be installed.

There is only one anti-virus I would recommend for Linux, and that is ClamAV.

That's a given, but I mean in regards to web security.

You have to do nothing on that front other than keep your stuff updated.

If you want additional layers of protection against phishing and the like you can use a filtered DNS such as the one Cloudflare provides.

You will never have done it in a more safe and secure environment.

Linux is secure. Don't worry about it.

After watching that vid, what would be considered as having the crown for a beginners distro?

IMO, Linux Mint.

It's easily the most recommended distro for beginners out there.

my first was ubuntu

did not like it at all

then i tried mint, a debian/ubuntu hybrid

loved it

still use it on my daily

the only problem i have with mint is that it is a little slow on the drivers for nvidia

for gaming i use manjaro, an arch based system like they use in the deck

i use the cinnamon desktop on both

if what you are looking for is a win 7 like feel,

use mint with the cinnamon desktop

I use Mint myself on my backup computer. (The one I currently use.)

Rock solid, safe, snappy and it dosen't look bad at all.

Since my new build is all AMD, how are those drivers on Mint?

For AMD?

Absolutely fine.

My answer would be quite different if you used NVidia.
