Say goodbye to Microsoft Windows 11 and hello to Ubuntu-based Linux Mint 22
Linux Mint 22, dubbed "Wilma," offers several reasons for users to consider switching from Windows 11. This latest release, a long-term support version backed until 2029, introduces a suite of refinements aimed at enhancing the desktop experience. With improved localization, enhanced hardware compatibility, and a focus on security, Linux Mint 22 seems tailored for a seamless transition from the familiar confines of Windows.
One of the key improvements in Linux Mint 22 is its language support. The installation process has been streamlined to remove unnecessary language packages, resulting in significant disk space savings. For users with internet connectivity during setup, the system automatically downloads language packs for their selected language. This version supports several languages without needing an internet connection, including English, German, and Spanish, among others.
Linux Mint 22 faces uncertain July release as critical bugs threaten stability
According to a new blog post, Linux Mint 22 is set to release this month, although the exact date remains uncertain. The BETA phase has been extended due to the need to address numerous critical bugs. So far, 109 bug reports have been submitted, with 53 still unresolved.
The development team has been working on issues such as AppArmor security changes causing application crashes, hardware acceleration playback libraries leading to Xorg crashes, and problems with Flatpak and Mintinstall.
Linux Mint 22 is named 'Wilma'
It's a big day in the Linux world as the codename for the upcoming Linux Mint 22 has finally been unveiled. Named "Wilma," this release will introduce a number of new features, including a new tool in its Cinnamon edition -- the Nemo Actions Organizer.
This new addition aims to redefine file management on the desktop. As its name suggests, with the Nemo Actions Organizer, users gain the ability to organize their Nemo actions into neatly structured menus and submenus.
