#ARCH LINUX VS MINT INSTALL#
Distros like Mint, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, and Debian are more about stability and ensuring that updates don’t cause bugs or break the system, however this can lead to software being a few versions behind the latest version while the devs run tests to ensure nothing will break etc.Follow these instructions to install Zoom on Linux distros like Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Arch.
#ARCH LINUX VS MINT FULL#
Arch Linux is more of a philosophy than a specific of software (Arch’s philosophy is that you have full control over your system and can install as much or as little as you desire, and you will have access to the freshest updates possible at all times). One more thing, you can get just about any DE on any distro. The main takeaway is that lightweight DEs sacrifice eye-candy and beauty for performance and less system resources, whereas a prettier DE uses more memory. Other “mid tier” DEs include Gnome, KDE, Budgie, Deepin, and others that I’m not remembering off the top of my head. Linux Mint uses the Cinnamon DE and is considered “mid tier” in terms of system resources and uses around 1GB of RAM like you’re seeing. Some of the more “lightweight” DEs include XFCE and LXDE (both of which typically use up RAM measuring into the hundreds of megabytes), Mate, i3, etc. Linux gives you plenty of options to choose from. Now, you might be asking “Well what sort of DE should I use then?”, and the answer depends upon you & your needs. The only real difference between Linux Mint and Arch is the frequency and type of updates they receive (Arch gets very quick updates whereas Mint hold updates back until they’re proven to be stable and won’t cause issues etc). So here’s the deal: when it comes to system resources, the distro you’re running doesn’t matter as much as the desktop environment (DE) you’re using. We know spam when we see it and will delete it.

Heated discussions are fine, unwarranted insults are not. Please flair tech-support requests as tech support and re-flair them as answered if an answer has been found. What exactly did you do, and how, and with what version of what? How have you tried to troubleshoot the problem? Vague, low-effort tech-support requests may get removed. Include relevant details like logs, terminal output, system information. Tech-support requests should be useful to others: those who might run into the same problem as well as those who might be able to help.
