the Beta is probably one of the best beta's I've experinced from the Mint team so far. They really knocked it out of the park once again.

It's often intriguing to see how a power user views changes to things. Personally, I don't mind that there are so many options for the UI appearance. I do blue collar work, so my PC is for entertainment first and almost never for work, so I like it to look fun and playful after a long day of toiling at work. I'm just happy that linux has advanced beyond basic computing and ventured towards being a real windows competitor. Looking forward to the new update, I have a feeling some of the stability issues I've had may be kernel related and I'm keen to see if I still have as much freezing and crashing with the new version.

Using LM 22 on bare metal it works great. I have been putting it through its paces and haven't had a single issue yet. This computer has Intel Arc graphics and previously I had to either use the Edge version of LM or the regular version I would have to boot to upgrade the Kernel manually. With the 6.8 kernel that is installed I have had no problems.

Great preview but the one I'm really waiting for will be the LMDE version

[vancegosselin]

I'll wait until the official release when all of the bugs are fixed.

The finished version will be released this week, any day now, already approved for stable release.

They really always have nice wallpapers

[core]

i really like green and black color combinations and it was part of the reason i chose Mint over other distros. i was pretty shocked when i found out that they changed the default color to blue.

I tried it on bare metal twice. I had to go back to 21.3 because the Invidia driver install did not work / made the display unusable. In addition, there are problems with fuse2 and fuse in general that prevent running some appimages. I really hope this is fixed. I love 21.3.

after a very long time I am installing Linux Mint 21 on a Intel i3.

I usually wait at least a few weeks or more before taking on the latest distro of anything. I learned a very long time ago that being any kind of early adopter is not for me. My single biggest value is stability.

I've never really understood why there are so many built in wallpapers with each release. I would have thought that most people would just download wallpapers of their choice from the internet or simply use a personal photo as a background. That personal quibble aside, this looks like yet another solid release. I would like to see Wayland integration sped up a tad though.

Great video im looking forward to the release of LMDE 7 not in a hurry though i only just finished updating all my devices to LMDE 6 😂

[walkergrae]

I've been liking my LMDE for a while though I'm thinking about hopping to SparkyLinux XFCE.

Anyone been following the news with OpenSUSE declaring a purge of "the rotten flesh" from their user base and NixOS declaring a purge "Nazis" from their spaces? Reckon this'll spread to other Linux distros too?

[pstrizle]

Literally the day after I put 21.3 on another machine I find out about this… will 21 just update itself from within itself or require a full blown install over like many distros do on a big new number version :edit: mint team confirmed 21.3 will easily update to 22!

13:54 He said the meme! Everybody take a shot!

[minifix]

My wifi and bluetooth don't work with the 22 beta. Also having install fails with the applets.

The big question is, how will Cinnamon Desktop continue to exist when things move further and further away from GTK3? Many many many programs in Cinnamon are built for that. Specifically.

[linuxuser]

I've been using pop os and manjaro but linux mint os my favorite still it would great to see a a server version of linux mint and different desktop style like gnome or plasma

Even though I like Cinnamon, I do miss Mint KDE
