Its a proven fact that, MATE version of Linux-Mint performs better than the CINNAMON version. If your computer is having issues with GNOME 3 based CINNAMON, then I personally recommend you to use MATE desktop inbterface (GNOME 2).

 

Open your terminal : Ctrl + Alt + T

 

Type: sudo apt-get install mint-meta-mate

 

Type your PASSWORD

 

You are done. Now exit the terminal.

 

Click MENU, then LOG-OUT (or press Super-Key / Windows-Key, then Log-Out)

 

Now aside of your login name, there will be an icon encircled.

 

Click on that. Now choose MATE..

 

Type password.

 

Benefits of MATE:

  • Load faster
  • Better performance
  • Works best in Low-end computers.

 

Aothor's opinion:

  • Tried mate, but I'm addicted to cinnamon. love its style. So I disabled the startup apps of cinnamon and reduced the graphical utilisation. It works.. So if you need these tips, comment or search GOOGLE or forums.
