Hi everyone,

The BETA phase for Linux Mint 22.1 is now over. 115 reports were received and many bugs were fixed. Many thanks for your help during this beta-test!

After a few days of QA testing we’ll be ready to publish the stable release. The new features will then make their way towards LMDE and we’ll open up the upgrade path for Linux Mint 22.

As always, I’d also like to thank our sponsors and donors. Thank you for your support.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the BETA so far!

This release introduces new features, tools, and artwork, so we anticipate a good number of bug reports. Every single fix helps us refine and improve the final release. Your feedback during the BETA phase is extremely important to us.

Linux Mint 22.1 is our second release based on the 24.04 package base. Some of the updates address long-standing usability issues we had  in some of the components we replaced. We’re confident these changes will lead to a very stable release.

So far, we’ve received 43 reports. Thank you very much to all the BETA testers for helping out and providing feedback. And many thanks to all of you for your support and your donations.

Important info:

To read the release notes, please visit:

“Release Notes for Linux Mint 22.1”

System requirements:

  • 2GB RAM (4GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
  • 20GB of disk space (100GB recommended).
  • 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).

Upgrade instructions:

  • This BETA release might contain critical bugs, please only use it for testing purposes and to help the Linux Mint team fix issues prior to the stable release.
  • Upgrade instructions will be published after the stable release of Linux Mint 22.1.
  • It will be possible to upgrade from this BETA to the stable release.
  • It will also be possible to upgrade from Linux Mint 22.

Bug reports:

  • Bugs in this release should be reported on Github at https://github.com/linuxmint/mint22.1-beta.
  • Create one issue per bug.
  • As described in the Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide, do not report or create issues for observations.
  • Be as accurate as possible and include any information that might help developers reproduce the issue or understand the cause of the issue:
    • Bugs we can reproduce, or which cause we understand are usually fixed very easily.
    • It is important to mention whether a bug happens “always”, or “sometimes”, and what triggers it.
    • If a bug happens but didn’t happen before, or doesn’t happen in another distribution, or doesn’t happen in a different environment, please mention it and try to pinpoint the differences at play.
    • If we can’t reproduce a particular bug and we don’t understand its cause, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to fix it.
  • The BETA phase is literally a bug squashing rush, where the team is extremely busy and developers try to fix as many bugs as fast as possible.
  • There usually are a huge number of reports and very little time to answer everyone or explain why a particular report is not considered a bug, or won’t get fixed. Don’t let this frustrate you, whether it’s acknowledged or not, we appreciate everyone’s help.
