Overview
Linux Mint 20.2 is a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system featuring the Cinnamon Desktop. Styled with Windows 10 icons, buttons and controls, this is the best desktop for Windows and Linux users alike. With TLC's custom Active Directory Join application, joining your Mint desktop client to an Active Directory domain has never been easier. With Active Directory, there is no need to set up individual accounts on each machine; and your AD users log in with a default Windows 10 theme. Unlike our Windows 10 Desktop Pro product, there is no additional license fee for Activation. Access your critical files and applications via secure Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Client from any Tablet, Phone or PC anywhere! TLC has integrated ENA to support the less expensive Nitro VM host; and XRDP for a low cost, functional and reliable RDP user experience over the Internet. Designed to work well with lower cost t3 small and medium EC2 instance types. Based on Ubuntu OS, it provides about 30,000 packages and has one of the best software managers. This version includes Libre Office, FireFox, custom Active Directory Join App, and much, much more. This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for system integration, AD client join application, and AMI hosting.
