Linux Mint

Purpose

CSI server and desktop operating-system baseline

Decision Summary

Production Ready for CSI internal infrastructure, Linux desktops/workstations and controlled small-business hosts. Not the default for enterprise, compliance-sensitive, headless or vendor-supported server workloads; use Ubuntu Server LTS, Debian or an enterprise Linux platform there.

Field Notes

Authoritative official documentation reference normalized on 2026-08-04. Existing CSI classification and field evidence retained.

Backup Strategy

Timeshift OS snapshots plus separate application/data backup and periodic Rescuezilla bare-metal image; maintain an off-host copy.

Recovery Strategy

Bootable Linux Mint/Rescuezilla media, tested Timeshift rollback, configuration export, data restore and documented rebuild procedure.

Version History

2026-08-04 — Official documentation reference added/normalized.
