The Release Candidate For Linux Mint 14 "Nadia" Is Out

First time accepted submitter Type44Q writes "Well, the latest edition of Mint is finally here (the release candidate, anyway); according to The Linux Mint Blog, 'For the first time since Linux Mint 11, the development team was able to capitalize on upstream technology which works and fits its goals. After 6 months of incremental development, Linux Mint 14 features an impressive list of improvements, increased stability and a refined desktop experience. We're very proud of MATE, Cinnamon, MDM and all the components used in this release, and we're very excited to show you how they all fit together in Linux Mint 14.'"

    Me, If i developed anything and name it nice names, like "Fuckoff" "sloppyshit", "kludge", and "ididyourmom"

    Lemme guess, you're involved in the GIMP project?

    MATE is basically Gnome2 but updated. Cinnamon is Gnome3 but has a much better UI than Gnome Shell

    This would sum it up well for you: -

    MATE is basically a less ugly version of all GNOME releases; CINNAMON is even better.

  3. It looks dated, is there a Unity option? by horza · · Score: 5, Funny

    I like the idea that Mint includes a lot of stuff out of the box (mp3 etc). However most people now have moved onto the Unity interface. I don't see that as an option, which makes it seem a bit ancient.

    There is no such a word in Persian. I have never heard such a word in Persian during my 40 years of life.

    I've never heard more than a handful of words in Persian during my 30 years of life, but I don't deny the rest of the language exists...
