Hello everyone!

We’ll be very brief with the news this month since the stable release of Linux Mint 20.2 is just around the corner.

We still have a few things to check and a few bug reports to go through before calling it stable but we’re getting very close.

Following the stable release we’ll open up the upgrade path from Linux Mint 20.1 and Linux Mint 20 and we’ll port all the new packages towards LMDE 4. Some of the improvements and fixes made in Linux Mint 20.2 will also be backported towards earlier 20.x releases.

I’d like to thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to participate in the BETA process and report these bugs to us. Many thanks also for your donations. Thanks to our sponsors and partners for their continued support.
