    I've written a long, thorough review of Linux Mint 18.1 Serena 64-bit Cinnamon edition, tested on a laptop with UEFI, Secure Boot, 16 partitions, and a multi-boot setup with Windows and Linux, covering live testing, installation and post-install use and tweaks, including look & feel, networking support - Wireless, Bluetooth, Samba sharing and printing, smartphone support - Ubuntu Phone and Windows Phone, multimedia support - HD video and MP3, partitioning, package management & updates, applications, resource usage, responsiveness, performance, battery life, suspend & resume, extensive customization, various issues like bad theme contrast, suboptimized fonts, codecs problems in the live session, post-wake bugs, Cinnamon crashes, software crashes and lockups, and more. Take a look.

    Nice review Mrk.
    Disappointing score though. Not an incentive to change my daily driver.
