*Linux Mint 12 is based on Ubuntu 11.10.

:updated 04/18/2013

Linux Mint 12 comes with a brand new desktop, built with ~~Gnome~~ 3 and MGSE.

===Linux Mint 14 Nadia===

~~"MGSE"~~ (Mint ~~Gnome~~ Shell Extensions) is a desktop layer on top of ~~Gnome~~ 3 that makes it possible for you to use ~~Gnome~~ 3 in a traditional way.

*Our latest release is Linux Mint 14, codename "Nadia".

You can disable all components within MGSE to get a pure ~~Gnome~~ 3 experience, or you can enable all of them to get a ~~Gnome~~ 3 desktop that is similar to what you’ve been using before.

:Cinnamon, Mate, KDE, Xfce desktops offered

Of course you can also pick and only enable the components you like to design your own desktop.

*Download:http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

The main features in MGSE are:
