Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon And MATE Editions Released — Download Torrent & ISO Files Here. November 28, 2017. Feel free to go ahead and read the release notes for Cinnamon and MATE editions.

Linux Mint 17.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable to use.

Software Sources

Software repositories are very important. We use them all the time when installing new software or performing updates. They need to be fast and reliable. This was a major point of focus in the development of Linux Mint 17.3.

Software repositories are mirrored (i.e. duplicated on many servers) all over the world. The main goal of the Software Sources configuration tool is to make it easy to find the best available mirror for you; one that is:

• Reliable and fully up to date
• Fast and responsive

To find the fastest mirrors, the Software Sources tool now detects your location and starts its speed tests with mirrors near you.

Mirrors from your own country are tested first, then from neighbouring countries and finally from your sub-region and region of the world.

Say you live in the Netherlands, mirrors are tested in this order: Dutch mirrors first, then Belgian and German mirrors, Western European mirrors next, and then finally mirrors from all over Europe.

Speed tests are also much more accurate than before. They're performed one after another and on larger files (to get more precision while measuring speed).

Finally, the Software Sources tool is more reliable than before:

• Even if a mirror is working correctly, the tool is now able to detect if its content is not up to date.
• PPA (Personal Package Archives) are now tested for compatibility.

Update Manager

The Update Manager now also performs more checks than before.

It warns you if the mirror you're using is not up to date:

It prevents you from damaging the system if that mirror (or your local cache) is corrupted:

And it shows a little hint even when everything is fine if faster mirrors are available:

The local cache used to be refreshed every 30 minutes. It is now refreshed 10 minutes after you log in, and every 2 hours then after. Both settings are configurable.

Driver Manager

The Driver Manager is more robust than before. It refreshes the cache before looking for drivers and reports update and installation errors if appropriate.

Drivers are now sorted by status and the Driver Manager now indicates if drivers are Open Source or not.

The Driver Manager now also loads much faster and detects drivers in the background.

When a Broadcom chipset is detected, along with the recommended Broadcom STA drivers, the Driver Manager now also lists B43 installers (note that these options do require an Ethernet connection).

Cinnamon 2.8

Linux Mint 17.3 features Cinnamon 2.8. Here's a quick video showing some of its new features:

To satisfy your torrenting needs, Torrents.me lists numerous torrent sites and separates them into different categories. • Meta torrent search engine with extensive lists of sites and torrents • Search trends graph for popular queries 10. Why use Torrents.me? Old download torrent from 200s. For instance, users can easily find the best torrent sites for movies by visiting the relevant category page.

Thanks to Linux Scoop for making this video.

Better applets

Sound applet

The sound applet was given a fresh new layout. The track information and media controls are now part of a new overlay which sits on top of the cover art.

For multimedia players which support seeking (Banshee for instance), a flat progress bar is also displayed underneath. This bar shows how far you are in the song, and you can of course interact with it to go to a different position.

Input controls, applications and output devices were moved to the right-click context menu.

Output devices now show both their name and their origin, making it easier to distinguish between them when multiple audio devices are connected.

Power applet

The power applet received many bug fixes and the way it detects and handles multiple batteries was significantly improved.

Connected devices and batteries are now displayed using the data provided by their manufacturer. In the screenshot above for instance, what was generically described as a “Wireless Mouse” in Cinnamon 2.6 is now described more accurately as a “Logitech M325”.

Workspace switcher

The workspace switcher applet is now able to show a visual representation of your workspaces, with little rectangles corresponding to each window inside of them.

System tray

In addition to traditional status icons, the Cinnamon system tray now also supports indicators.

If you don’t like indicators, you can turn this off in “System Settings” -> “General” -> “Enable support for indicators”. This results in forcing all applications which use indicators to fallback to using status icons.

Here are a few tips to recognize status icons and indicators:

• Status icons are rendered by their application, often using GTK menus and widgets.
• Indicators are rendered by Cinnamon, with a Clutter menu which looks similar to the panel itself.
• Status icons can have tooltips and a context menu, indicators cannot.
• In the Logs section of “Looking glass” (Alt+F2+lg), you can see what status icons (“systray”) and what indicators (“indicator”) are loaded by Cinnamon.

The screenshot above shows the Steam indicator. Notice how its menu is using Clutter widgets and following the Cinnamon theme. If you disable the support for indicators, Steam will use a traditional status icon instead.

Support for status icons in the system tray also received a lot of bug fixes, in particular for applications such as Pidgin, Shutter, Filezilla and Thunderbird.

Window list

The window list is now able to show window thumbnails.

This is configurable and it can be disabled in the applet preferences if you would rather just see tooltips.

Visual improvements

The traditional animation effect for minimizing windows was fixed and it is now working with multiple panels.

Some polish and slight visual improvements were applied to both the classic and preview Alt-Tab application switchers.

Box pointers (the little arrows joining applet menus to the panel) received some attention and now look much better than before when close to the edge of the screen.

The Alt-F2 run dialog received bug fixes and better auto-completion.

Better settings

Display settings

The display settings now show both the name of your monitors and the name of the output plug they’re connected to. These are known as “output names”.

In the screenshot above we see for instance two identical Dell monitors, one connected via the DP-1 Display Port, and one connected on HDMI-0, the first HDMI port.

These are the same output names you can see when using xrandr and in the “Login Window” preferences to tell MDM which monitor to use to show the login screen.

Other improvements

In “Account Details” and “Users and Groups”, a strength indicator was added to the dialog window which lets you change passwords.

Applets now reload themselves automatically when updated.

Better window management

Support for multiple monitors was significantly improved. The mapping of new windows, dialogs, OSD info (such as the workspace names) was reviewed to make sure everything appeared in the right place and on the appropriate monitor.

Improvements related to frame synchronization which were implemented in Mutter (the GNOME Shell window manager) in cooperation with NVIDIA were ported to Muffin (the Cinnamon window manager). These changes should fix rendering issues with NVIDIA cards but could also have a positive impacts on ATI and Intel chipsets.

Dialog windows are now attached to their parent window by default. This setting was already present in Cinnamon (in “System Settings”->”Windows”->”Behavior”->”Attach dialog windows to the parent window”), but it was improved in version 2.8; Dialog windows are now attached to the center of their parent window rather than their titlebar, and the shading of the parent window was made a little more obvious than it was before.

Better backend

Settings daemon

Cinnamon now supports microphone mute buttons.

HiDPI detection was improved, in particular for TV screens over HDMI.

XRANDR support was significantly improved, many bug fixes were ported from Gnome Shell.

The Cinnamon Settings Daemon is more robust than before and shouldn’t crash anymore when one or some of its modules fail to load.

Session manager

The Cinnamon logout sequence was reviewed and some changes were introduced to make it faster and to make it look smoother. The timeout for the session “EXIT” phase was reduced to 1 second, and the settings daemon and the window manager, which are respectively responsible for painting applications with the right GTK theme and for rendering window titlebars are now the last programs to die.

Cinnamon 2.8 also features:

• Better support for QT5 applications, which now look more native and use the GTK theme.
• Better XSMP support.
• Better logs (You can enable logs to ~/.xsession-errors via the “org.cinnamon.SessionManager debug” gsettings key. Logs now also include time delta information to help identify cases where an application makes the login or logout sequence lag).
• A fully configurable auto-start blacklist (The key is in “org.cinnamon.SessionManager autostart-blacklist”. This was only partly configurable in previous versions.).

Performance improvements

The calendar applet used to wake up the CPU every second even if seconds weren’t shown. This was fixed and further reduces idle CPU usage.

The absence of disk cache was identified as the reason why the first Cinnamon session after a shutdown/reboot was significantly slower to load than any subsequent session. To tackle this issue, Cinnamon 2.6 introduced “preloading”, which goal was to initialize parts of Cinnamon in the background, while you were busy typing your password at the login screen. Thanks to your feedback and testing done on a wider variety of hardware, “preloading” was reviewed in Cinnamon 2.8. Although it helped in reducing the most costly steps involved in the initialization of a Cinnamon session, the gains were unfortunately marginal. Preloading also proved to slow down the startup sequence, and in particular the loading of the login screen. It was therefore removed from Cinnamon 2.8.

Nemo improvements

“Quick-Rename” landed in Nemo. This feature, which is probably most appreciated by Windows users, consists in renaming files and directories by clicking them, waiting a bit and clicking them again. Quick-Rename is disabled by default. To enable it in Nemo, click on “Edit”->”Preferences”->”Behavior”->”Click twice with a pause in between to rename items”.

Nemo now automatically detects issues related to thumbnails and allows you to quickly fix them (you’re prompted with a password dialog when this requires administration privileges).

Login Screen

HiDPI support was improved in the MDM display manager.

Many HiDPI related issues were fixed, in particular with HD TVs plugged over HDMI.

The way HiDPI support works in MDM was also redesigned. It used to double the pixel density on HiDPI displays and that sometimes resulted in a login screen that looked too big on some HiDPI monitors. It now works towards an ideal pixel density, so the scaling ratio isn't just 1x or 2x but an appropriate calculated value in between.

To improve the support for touchscreens and mobile devices, an on-screen keyboard was also added in the login screen. This keyboard is available for the default theme ('Mint-X') and it provides both common and special characters.

System improvements

Xorg, Mesa and the Linux kernel were upgraded.

In many cases, this improves hardware support. Imacs for instance no longer need to use nomodeset, scrolling is now functional on some Asus touchpads, suspending is much faster on macbooks..etc.

Kernel 4.2.0 is also available in the repositories. However please be cautious with it if you are using proprietary drivers. At the moment, the following drivers are known not to work with it:

• fglrx (ATI/AMD drivers)
• ndiswrapper (Windows wireless drivers)

Support for these drivers with kernel 4.2.0 should improve before February 2016.

Artwork improvements

Linux Mint 17.3 features a superb collection of backgrounds from Calexil, Falcon Photography, Jan Kaluza, Jen K, Konstantin Leonov, Sezgin Mendil and Vinod Chandar.

All the backgrounds from Linux Mint 'Qiana', 'Rebecca' and 'Rafaela' are also present.

Other improvements

The welcome screen was redesigned slightly.

LibreOffice was upgraded to version 5.

The screen reader 'Orca' is now installed by default.

Nemo-preview is now installed by default. To preview a file, simply select it and press the space bar.

Input Methods are now handled by mintlocale, which replaces im-config in the menu.

Inxi was upgraded and now supports multiple graphics cards.

When using an encrypted home directory, memory swap is no longer encrypted by default and hibernation works out of the box.

OpenVPN support is now installed by default.

Main components

Linux Mint 17.3 features Cinnamon 2.8, MDM 2.0, a Linux kernel 3.19 and an Ubuntu 14.04 package base.

LTS strategy

Linux Mint 17.3 will receive security updates until 2019.

Until 2016, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 17.3, making it trivial for people to upgrade.

Until 2016, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.

Linux Mint 17.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable to use.

Application Menu

The application menu looks much better, thanks to the addition of a frame, borders and shadows.

A bit of padding was also added throughout its different sections.

Screen-tearing and window managers

The 'Desktop Settings' tool now supports more window and compositing managers. Other than the traditional Marco, Metacity and Xfwm4 window managers, you’ll find the following options:

• Openbox: A very fast and very light window manager.
• Compiz: One of the most visually impressive window manager available for Linux.
• Compton: A compositing manager which can be used in complement of Marco, Metacity, Xfwm4 or Openbox.

A new help section was added to explain various concepts around window managers and compositing.

Switching window-managers takes effect immediately so you no longer have to log out.

Compton is now installed by default and configured to prevent screen-tearing. If you see a horizontal line when watching videos or playing games, simply switch to it and these issues should be gone.

As for Compiz, it was already integrated in Linux Mint 17.2, but it got even better:

• Wobbly windows are activated by default (the reason Compiz was added was for the 'wow' factor, so it may as well use with the most noticeable plugin of them all).
• Compiz profiles were moved to dconf (this solves an issue where changes to Compiz settings weren’t recored on your very first session).
• Compiz profiles can be reset from the 'Desktop Settings' tool. If you made a mistake or broke your Compiz configuration, there was no way of fixing it other than doing so manually.. this is done by clicking the 'Reset Compiz settings' button now.
• Virtualbox is now supported with Compiz.

Finally, two new commands were introduced in Linux Mint 17.3:

• 'wm-detect' to show information about which window/compositing managers are running.
• 'wm-recovery' to recover and get back to the default window manager.

MATE 1.12

In preparation for Linux Mint 17.3, a lot of work went into MATE 1.12. Most of the papercut issues identified in Linux Mint 17.2 were fixed and some of the new features implemented in Cinnamon were ported to MATE.

The team focused on many little yet important issues which are key for a comfortable user experience.

MATE is now using the same 'presence' interface as GNOME and Cinnamon. This means it now supports a very wide range of applications. You no longer need to move your mouse or to use the inhibition applet when watching a movie. MATE is now fully compatible with Totem, VLC and many other players. The screensaver won't start while they're playing a video.

Touchpad support was significantly improved:

• If your touchpad supports it, you can now tap or click with 2 or even 3 fingers to perform right and middle clicks.
• You can now also activate 'natural scrolling' to reverse the direction of scrolling and make it feel more natural.
• And a new global option also lets you disable the touchpad (which is convenient if you never use it).

Multi-monitor support has been improved. Display settings now show output names and you're now able to define which of your monitors should be considered 'primary'.

Many multi-monitor related issues were also fixed, in particular to make sure applications and windows were launched on the active monitor (i.e. where you mouse pointer is located).

The power applet now displays model and vendor information so you can distinguish between multiple battery powered devices.

The MATE system monitor now detects Linux Mint more accurately and it's one of the first MATE components which was ported to GTK3 in Linux Mint 17.3.

Software Sources

Software repositories are very important. We use them all the time when installing new software or performing updates. They need to be fast and reliable. This was a major point of focus in the development of Linux Mint 17.3.

At the present, more than 6000 free games are loaded on the website and it has still been in process of building, finishing the contents, so I hope that most of free games could be updated as soon as possible. If the website becomes a well – known one, this will a motivation push me to continue updating more free games, sharing to people. Download game one piece blood pc rar. I am so happy when you connect to my website. To a new website, it does not have much your attention, but I wish you could give me a favour in advertising, introducing it to people by sharing its link for your friends, family members through out Facebook, twitter and other websites. It created with the purpose is to share free games for all of you.

Linux Mint is one of the fastest growing desktop Linux distributions today. Linux Mint is an Ubuntu based distribution that aims to be a home user friendly distribution that has a sleek, clean look as well as provide as much hardware compatibility as possible. All of this paired with a development team that constantly tries to keep the distribution moving in a forward fashion.

While Linux Mint’s main releases (LM Cinnamon and LM Mate) are based off Ubuntu, there is a lesser known variant that has been making great strides over the last couple of years. Of course, Linux Mint Debian Edition is the variant and the subject of this tutorial.

Just like the main version of Linux Mint, LMDE is available in Cinnamon and Mate as well as 32/64bit variants. Currently there isn’t a “stable” release of LMDE2 but this tutorial, screen-shots, and posting were done using a fresh install of LMDE2 64bit Cinnamon. So it is currently stable enough for those purposes!

New Features

While this is still a release candidate, everything that is going to make their way into the official release are already there. From here on out it will be minor changes and some final polishing. A list of what all has changed, seems to be hiding at the moment but some big obvious changes have made their way into this release though:

1. Cinnamon 2.4.6
2. Linux 3.16
3. Firefox 36
4. BASH 4.3.30

One question was whether or not Systemd was going to make its way into the release. Without getting to much into the argument it was a sigh of relief to see that the Linux Mint team didn’t try to rush and push Systemd into the release, but it will be interesting to see what happens when Debian releases Jessie into stable.

Installation of Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 “Betsy”

1. The first step to installing LMDE2, is to obtain the ISO file from Linux Mint’s website. This can be done either through a direct http download or via wget from the command line interface.

The url for download: http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php

This will land on a page where the CPU architecture and desktop environment must be selected. The next screen will prompt the user for a mirror to download the image from or a torrent to use. For those who already know that LMDE2 64-bit Cinnamon is for them, feel free to use the following wget command:

The above commands will switch to the current user’s downloads folder and then proceed to download the iso file from a mirror here in the USA. For those reading out of country, please be sure to visit the downloads link in the above paragraph to find a mirror that is close for a quicker download!

2. Once the ISO is downloaded, it will either need to be burned to a DVD or copied onto a flash drive. The preferred and easiest method is a DVD but this tutorial will walk through how to do it on a USB flash drive. The flash drive will need to beat least 2GB in size in order to fit the ISO image and it needs to have all data removed from it.

WARNING!!! The following steps will render all current data on the USB drive un-readable! Use at your own risk.

3. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, open a command line window and insert the USB drive into the computer. Once the drive is plugged into the computer, its identifier needs to be determined. This can be accomplished with several different commands and is VERY important to get right. It is suggested that the user do the following:

Linux Cinnamon 36 Iso Download Free

1. Open a command line window
2. Issue the command: lsblk
3. Make note of which drive letters already exist (sda, sdb, etc) ←Very important!
4. Now plug the USB drive in and reissue: lsblk
5. The new drive letter to appear is the device that will need to be used

This tutorial /dev/sdc is the device that will be used. This will vary from computer to computer! Be sure to follow the above steps exactly! Now navigate to the downloads folder in the CLI and then a utility known as ‘dd‘ will be used to copy the ISO image to the USB drive.

WARNING!!! Again, this process will render all data on this USB drive un-readable. Make absolutely sure the data is backed up and the proper drive name has been determined from the steps above. This is the final warning!

The ‘dd‘ command above will copy the iso file to the flash drive overwriting all data previously on the drive. This process will also make the drive bootable. If something other than LMDE2 64bit Cinnamon was downloaded, the name after ‘if=‘ will need to be changed as appropriate.

The syntax here is very important! This command is run with root privileges and if the input/ouput are reversed, it will be a very bad day. Triple check the command, source, and destination devices before hitting the enter key!

‘dd‘ will not output anything to the CLI to indicate that it is doing anything but don’t worry. If the USB drive has an LED indicator when data is being written, take a look at it and see if it is flashing very quickly on the device. This is about the only indicator that anything will be taking place.

4. Once ‘dd‘ finishes, safely remove the USB drive and place it into the machine that will have LMDE2 installed onto it and boot the machine to the USB drive. If all goes well, the screen should flash a Linux Mint grub menu and then boot into the screen below!
