There may be something special about Linux Mint – their skill to deliver consistent performance launch after launch. Also, amazingly Linux Mint’s design is pretty much constant across desktop environments – Cinnamon, Mate, KDE, and XFCE. I already reviewed the KDE and Cinnamon versions and immediately it’s the turn of my favorite of all – Linux Mint 17 XFCE. The release announcement is pretty similar to what I noticed for Linux Mint Cinnamon and KDE flavors.

I already mentioned them in my respective reviews. Hence, I’ll discuss them briefly but the main focus would be the functionality of the XFCE spin. For this evaluates, I downloaded the 1.3 GB 64-bit Linux Mint 17 XFCE ISO and created a stay USB using Linux Mint Image Writer. Next, I put in Mint 17 XFCE on my Asus K55VM in a multi-boot atmosphere with other Linux distros. Asus K55VM laptop with 2.3 Ghz 3rd Gen. Core i7 3610QM processor with 8 cores, eight GB DDR3 RAM, 1366×768 decisions, 2 GB NVIDIA GeForce 630M graphic cards.

Linux Mint’s installation is precisely the same as official Ubuntu releases and no surprises there. Linux Mint’s ability to work on a wide range of hardware has always been fairly exceptional and this launch adheres to my previous experience. It labored like a charm to acknowledge my screen decision, WIFI connection, LAN connection, sound, and contact pad precisely, without requiring any manual intervention.

I needed to manually download the Nvidia drivers from Linux Mint reports and laptop heat was negligible publish set up and reboot. I chose the Intel graphic card from Nvidia-prime. Linux Mint 17 XFCE seems and feels precisely just like the previous few releases. However, as soon as I famous issues minutely, I could see improvements in artwork in this release. The default wallpaper is the same as the earlier release, only with quantity up to date from 16 to 17. However, there are some contemporary “minty” wallpapers pre-installed in the distro, in the wallpaper section.

As mentioned in my review of Linux Mint 17 KDE, the welcome screen appears new and fresh. Like MDM with Mint-X theme is the login supervisor in Mint 17 XFCE as effectively and it seems pretty good. I love the way in which Thunar seems in Mint XFCE with a mixture of black, white, and gray. The distro exudes professionalism in terms of look and feel – the font rendering is very good, utility interfaces are aesthetically pleasing, and every little thing seems to be in place.

I tried to add just a little enjoyable to the distro by adding a copy, altering the wallpaper, and making the panel clear. In general, I go along with full marks for aesthetics for Linux Mint 17 XFCE. It looks and feels precisely how knowledgeable distro should feel and look and I would be blissful to use this distro in my workplace as effectively.

Mint by no means goes overboard with pre-installed purposes. Rather, it selects functions judiciously to cowl daily necessities of nearly all users, viz. Unlike Xubuntu, Mint 17 XFCE has full LibreOffice suite and therefore, positively not targeting restricted spec computers only. From the packages pre-installed on this distro, it is definitely meant for a fashionable system. However, I checked on my antiquated HP desktop (2003 year of buy and P4 PC with 1.5 GB DDR RAM, no degradation, besides RAM), it runs pretty much as good as Xubuntu and presents first-rate performance. Like all new Mint release, Mint 17 XFCE has the home-grown apps USB Image Writer and USB Stick Formatter from the Mint reports.

I really like these two little apps as they provide very important functionality for distro hoppers, like me. In general, I am very glad to see extra-or-less a complete collection of essential apps required for everyday utilization in Mint 17 XFCE. I miss a VoIP consumer, a obtain manager, and WINE. Also, I’ve some issues on some of the important packages being barely heavier and customers might find it challenging to use them on low useful resource systems. Hence, I chorus from giving Mint 100% for apps and instead go with an 80% score. Linux Mint 17 XFCE sources packages from Ubuntu Trusty and its own repositories.
