Dedoimedo posted a perfect-score review of Linux Mint 16 Petra 64-bit edition with the Cinnamon desktop, an Ubuntu-based distribution, covering live session, installation in a dual-boot configuration and post-install use

The latest Mint release comes in a bunch of flavors, and we're most interested in the Cinnamon and MATE editions. In this review, we'll focus on spices and such, and we will do it on a laptop that already runs Kubuntu Ringtail and a temporary openSUSE Bottle install, and what makes it extra interesting is the presence of proprietary drivers. Follow me.
