Linux Mint 21.3 vs Linux Mint 22: Can YOU tell the difference? 🍃

Today I'll be comparing Linux Mint 21.3 against the brand new Linux Mint 22.

SPOILER ALERT: The biggest change here is the upgrade to the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base, and the removal of the Edge ISO now that Linux Mint 22.x point releases will follow the HWE series.

I guess it's more of "under the hood" update. Still cool, especially the upgraded kernel

[spreadneck]

New version of anything doesn't mean it will be different visually.

[brancogabriel]

I really like how chill your voice and this video are. Thanks, mate

There is a big difference in speed startup of the Software Manager, you'll notice it after a reboot.

I have tried the 22 beta, but it is not ready yet (e.g. the font looks terrible). I have installed 21.3 (the Iso from Linux Mint Users, which includes the latest updates and also the kernel 6.8 from Ubuntu 24.04).

[garthdryland]

14:25 package wise, v22 doesn't install all languages, so I'd say that's why v21.3 has a few more installed.

[jamesmason]

But the real question is how do I get the sound working on my Panasonic toughbook CF-19ZA813DM laptop running linux mint 22 or any linux distro

[huljaxful]

I suppose 22 is the beta version, right? We are all waiting for the full version anxiously:)

[-TakaTan]

I also want to know whether Cinnamon is more beautiful than GNOME 46.

[lolff]

is the performance of 22 wilma on older hardware improved ?

[kennethkhayyam]

currently i am think to stick with older one because it is not different on the front end, but I will must try the new one may be it give me something different

[WalterPetrovic]

When Beta is done will 22 just normally update over the current 21.3 Mint, or will it have to be a fresh install?

[AmericanExpatInThePhilippines]

I'm a Win10 user. I'm thinking of switching to Linux.

[Johnvs_]

Please tell me is this the beta version of Mint 22?

[Afriqueleblanq]

Mint was stupid to delete KDE Plasma. They lost much support as a result.

[minifix]

I can tell the difference because my Nvidia 4080 Super works on 22 beta but not on 21.3, lol

[michaell.]

if only they improved cinnamon, and used more recent kernel I would be able to use LM on my new pc, for now I'll have to stay on manjaro

Great video btw

If you are a Python programmer you will find pip does not work on the command line.(Not nice) Also, gTTS no longer work 7:34 s. In Linux mint virginia they work well, but not in Wilma. Wilma does seem to have faster access overall.

[bell]

if I may request, a set up linux mint for gaming guide, remove stuff you find not useful things like that?

[jimb]

kernel in 22 dont work with anything I use for wifi, dumped it, its junk 6.8 kernel useless....went back to mx 23.3
