Last January, a few weeks behind schedule, Clem Lefebvre He launched version 21.3 of your operating system. The next one will arrive next summer in the northern hemisphere, and the first number will change. It will be a Linux Mint 22.0 of whom we already know her code name: Wilma. Although Linux Mint names are usually given at random, it is likely that more than one person will think of Fred Flintstone yelling at a door after reading this code name.
This is one of the novelties that have been advanced to us in the monthly newsletter Linux Mint from last January, where they have taken the opportunity to remember that Linux Mint 21.3 was released, that a guide to update, that the Edge version with Linux 6.5 has arrived for computers with newer hardware and that LMDE 6 has already received all the new features from "Victoria".
Linux Mint 22.0 will be based on Ubuntu 24.04
Although Clem doesn't say it that way, Linux Mint 22.x It will be based on Ubuntu 24.04, available from April. What they have told us, in addition to its name, is that the Cinnamon edition will include an action organizer in Nemo, the file manager. With this new feature, we will be able to organize Nemo's actions in menus and submenus. The tool supports nested submenus, menu icons, separators, and drag and drop. Actions can be renamed and will allow icons to be overwritten.
On the other hand, it has been discovered that Wayland session could affect Xorg sessions and trigger some problems. Clem wants this detail to be known and remembers that Wayland is nothing more than experimental in Linux Mint 21.3. All problems go away if you switch to an X11 session, although they recommend restarting and not logging out and starting a new session. Support for Wayland will most certainly be improved in 22.0.
Linux Mint 22.0 will arrive approximately August 2024.
