I tried to make this article to help everybody find a desktop choice among Deepin, Mint, and Elementary operating systems. I select them because they are solely focused on desktop and have developed their own user interface. They are all GNU/Linux systems from Debian family, but with several distinctions you may love to see. For example, they differ on their own file managers, user interface layouts and built-in apps and several more things.
(Deepin 15.10, Mint 19, and Elementary 5.0 showing their desktops with start menu opened)

You will also find which one still supports 32-bit PC nowadays, which one supports Flatpak by default, and more. Finally, I wish you can empower your PC and laptop with one of them. Enjoy!

This tutorial explains how to upgrade Linux Mint operating system from 18 to 19 (LTS to LTS) with screenshots and more information. This involves two steps of upgrade, the first is upgrading to 18.3 and the second is to 19. You will use mix of GUI and CLI (Software Updater and Terminal) to perform whole steps. This may takes up to 1GB data download, needs 4GB free space or more, and more than 1 hour (mine takes +/-4 hours) to finish all download and upgrade. Please consider again that upgrading is always risky and only do this if you are ready with it. This tutorial uses Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition (LMCE) as example and you can apply this tutorial to LMME and LMXE as well. Anyway, happy upgrading and good luck!

Continuing Part 1, this article discusses how to use Flatpak from command lines instead of GUI. You will find here first how to search a Flatpak, then how to install and remove it. This includes installing from a Flatpakref URL, and adding new repo. This second part is indeed short and easy. Enjoy your exploration!


Do you know Flatpak? It's a new software installation method that is universal for all GNU/Linux distros. Nowadays, many popular free software already published in Flatpak format such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, and more! For desktop users, this means we now have one standard way to install apps in different distros. For app developers, this means reducing their jobs to deliver one app to all desktop distros. With Flatpak, the GNU/Linux user will install software from Flathub, the central repository where developers publish their Flatpak apps. This article discusses how to install Flatpak with GUI on Linux Mint 19 as an example. Happy exploring!

This tutorial explains step by step to install Linux Mint 19 LTS "Tara". This is based on Cinnamon Edition, but this should be applicable to XFCE, MATE, and Debian Editions as well, because their graphical installers are no different. You can apply this tutorial in either singleboot or dualboot mode, as you wish. You will prepare two blank partitions, with USB Flash Drive as installation media, and go through 10 steps in no more than 20 minutes. Happy installing!
