Linux Mint 17.2 "Rafaela" Cinnamon was recently launched and, as usual, I installed it on my machines to see how this distro is progressing. I found a refreshed, faster and more feature-rich distro that's well worth trying.

Mint has become one of the most popular Linux distributions in recent years, which I attribute to two factors: its focus on what users need and the Gnome 3/Unity debacle. Linux Mint offered refuge to the disgruntled users of Gnome 3/Unity and as a result it grew immensely popular among such users. Personally, I was also affected by it because I was a Gnome user before Unity happened and then I started to look for an alternative and found Plasma. I did try Linux Mint Cinnamon in its earlier days but Cinnamon back then was a bit buggy and lacked many features that I could enjoy in Plasma or KDE 4 which had matured by then.
