Monthly News – July 2025

by ·143 Comments

Hello everyone,

Many thanks to our sponsors and to all of you who support the project with your donations.

Linux Mint 22.2

The team is working on a BETA release for Linux Mint 22.2.

This new version introduces an HWE kernel, fingerprint authentication, theme updates, accent color support and improved libAdwaita compatibility. Work also continues in the Cinnamon edition, to make input methods and keyboard layouts compatible with Wayland.

Packages and projects are being finalized. Pull requests are being merged. There is no set date for the release but we’re hoping to get the BETA out by the end of July or the beginning of August.

LMDE 7

After Linux Mint 22.2 gets its stable release, the focus is likely to switch in September to LMDE 7, codenamed “Gigi”.

Gigi will come with all the improvements featured in Linux Mint 22.2 but on top of a Debian 13 package base instead of Ubuntu 24.04.

Another key improvement in LMDE 7 compared to LMDE 6 will be that it will support OEM installations.

Moderation

We unfortunately had to tighten moderation settings on this blog and it’s a real shame.

When we say everyone is welcome here, it means absolutely EVERYONE, no exceptions. This can only work if divisive topics are left behind and people refrain from labeling or excluding each other. Here, we’re all the same. Everybody’s welcome to participate. There’s no such thing as “freedom of speech”. We’re not here to fight for such or such ideas, we’re here to build something together and to protect our project and our community. We want comments to be on-topic and constructive, always.

We will not tolerate any kind of ideology.

We’re already bombarded by commercial spam. This is one of the last places in our community where you can interact without having to authenticate. I’m really hoping it can stay that way.

  1. I would love for Linux Mint to go back to the Rolling release version, as it used to be with the always latest packages like Arch Linux, Rhino Linux. Stable latest versions of programs are much more secure than outdated programs that do not have all the fixes from the developers. Linux MInt desktop should have the latest kernel 6.15.6. In the linux-oem-24.04c package there is no D version and kernel 6.15 yet, will it be added in Linux Mint 22.2?

    Reply

    1. My idea of a ‘perfect’ version of Mint would be a rolling release with the Plasma desktop.

    2. It will be available when it lands in Ubuntu 24.04. By default we’ll ship with the HWE kernel though.

    6. You can use the mainline kernel if you need the latest kernel. I am currently running Linux Mint 22.1 on kernel 6.15.4 without issue.

    7. why this is a bad idea : its not affordable, and not even reliable. ( manjaro )

      mint for me means, a stable desktop experience … and ubuntu just nails it. and mint should not waste scarce resources into this.

      if you want rolling release , go to arch , and install cinnamon on it or maybe use manjaro
      go away… xD

    8. i disagree , if you really need the updates go to arch , if you need security go to RHEL , or ubuntu server
      …. i believe mint is for the everyday use . and the updates that come from ubuntu repos are good enough.

    10. Rolling release could be a real nightmare in a regulated environment, where configuration baselines need to be maintained based on strict change management process (including formal verification after update/upgrade).
      I do really appreciate that Linux Mint does NOT endorse the rolling release approach.

    11. I occasionally use this laptop in the field at the telescope and the very last thing I need is a bad release crashing it at 1:00 AM. I think the current release schedule is perfect and safest for such pursuits. Just my take and the reason for it.

    12. A rolling release Linux Mint would be a big mistake! According to my own research and my experience with Manjaro, rolling releases are just not stable and reliable enough for use as a daily driver for the average user. When I tried Manjaro, every update caused problems, sometimes minor, sometimes major. Fixes and troubleshooting took up too much of my time.

    13. I feel like Mint’s whole point is reliability and stability, rather than the most recent features and packages, but I am sure any major security issues will be updated and patched if needed. If you want a rolling-release type distro, there’s always Fedora and any of it’s “spin” varieties. Their packages are not super up to date, but still VERY recent. At most maybe a version or two behind. I’m on 6.15.9 right now on Fedora 42 KDE.

      That said, Linux Mint will always be king of reliability. I am just waiting for full Wayland support on Cinnamon.

  2. Thanks for the update. As ever, your plans look useful and sensible, without impacting on a simple but comprehensive user experience. My little i3 8100 desktop is really looking forward to Mint 22.2!

    Reply

  3. Thanks for the update, Clem! I totally understand the need, unfortunate though it is, for the additional moderation. A couple of rogue actors were making it unpleasant and distracting. Looking forward to 22.2!

    Reply

  4. Clem, have you ever thought about replacing Ubuntu fonts with the new Adwaita fonts? What do you think about it?

    Reply

    1. Hi José,

      It’s been mentioned here and there. I’m quite happy with the current Ubuntu font for now though. It doesn’t just look nice, it’s well supported upstream and it’s been there for a while.

    4. I’m not a fan of the new, thinner Ubuntu font. Clem, have you considered including the Source fonts (Source Sans, Source Serif and Source Code)? They were created by professional type designers at Adobe, are fully open source, and have a huge number of glyphs and multiple weights. Source Sans makes a great user interface font and Source Code is perfect for the terminal.

  5. Does Linux Mint 22.2 come with Xfce 4.20? I really like the improvements in Thunar there. I’m also excited to see the libAdwaita improvements!

    Also, I’m really looking forward to LMDE 7! I played around with Debian 13 for a bit and it looks really great! And making LMDE 7 support OEM installations is also really nice! I wonder when you feel like this should become the mainline variant because I can imagine that basing Mint on the next Ubuntu LTS could require quite a bit more work than before.

    Reply

    2. Hi Clem, there were Xfce backports in LM 20.2 and also LM 21.2. Is it a policy change or just a workload issue specific to this LM 22.2 cycle?

    3. Thanks to Clem and his team for their ongoing effort to improve Mint OS. I’m particularly interested in the Libadapta. Just a pity that Xfce is shipping 4.18, 4.20 provides several nice improvements. BTW, in LM 22.1 in Xfce when I click the top left little icon on the window border with options like ‘always on top” etc the font is somewhat bigger than the default font. Just a minor issue.

  6. Looking forward to the beta release! The improved libAdwaita compatibility will make things more consistent, will it possibly assist with Wayland compatibility?

    Reply

    1. What it does is make libAdwaita follow the desktop theme. This makes some of the GNOME apps fit in well with other desktops (gnome-calendar, baobab, simple-scan etc..) and allowed us to upgrade them.

      For some of the other apps, we’re still looking for solutions. Long-term it makes sense to develop our own solutions or at least to not rely on applications which design only has GNOME in mind (file-roller is a good example of that).

      Wayland compatibility is a different topic. Unless they’re doing X11 specific things, GTK (3, 4 or libAdwaita) apps generally work well in Wayland.

  7. Hi Mint team,

    Thank you very much for the news. I look forward to more news!!!

    To infinity and beyond (^o^)//

  8. Bonjour la communauté mint
    Actuellement possesseur d’un ordi très récent,je ne peux pas installé mint 22.1 pour je ne sais quelles raisons.
    j’espère sincèrement pouvoir me servir de la version 22.2 très rapidement.
    Milles merci pour tout le travail que vous effectué depuis de nombreuses années.

    Reply

    1. Bonjour Frédéric,
      J’ai le même soucis avec le dernier Dell pro max. Il s’agit des kernels qui sont trop anciens. Pour ma part seuls les kernel 6.11 et 6.14 fonctionnent. J’ai pu installer ubuntu 25.04 avec succès. La nouvelle mouture de Linux Mint intègre le nouveau kernel HWE donc cela devrait fonctionner

    3. Oui Frédéric, essayez la version Edge (comme François a dit) et sinon attendez Mint 22.2 avec le nouveau kernel HWE (hardware enablement). Il fonctionnera avec des systèmes plus récents.

    4. Bonjour,
      merci pour vos suggestion. effectivement je n’avais pas pensé a la version edge.
      Celle-ci je peux l’installée,avec des soucis de son et d’affichage,mais je peu.
      j’attendrai donc la version 22.2.
      Merci encore à tous

    5. Bonjour,
      sinon tu peux mettre un kernel liquorix 6.15.9-1 sur la version 22.1, c’est ce que j’ai actuellement et ça fonctionne plutot bien

  9. Hello Clem & The Team at MINT. I’m already looking forwards to version 22.2 & I’m confident that when it is released it will be extremely good. I much prefer an incremental changes rather than major big bang surprises. I also think incremental development changes are a better way to bring end users along with you. That sort of consistency of changes provides a more stable base.

    Reply

  10. Bonjour, j avais envoyer un message i y a un moi par mail a la adresse : root@linuxmint.com .Pour savoir si il était possible d’importer net.sourceforge.m64py.M64Py dans le site web de la communauté pour mettre un avis sur ce logiciel. Merci

    Reply

    1. Désoler,Je n’ ai pas pansé a traduidre le texte en anglai. Hello, I had sent a message i y y y a me per email to the address: root-linuxmint.com . To find out if it is possible to import net.sourceforge.m64py.M64Py into the community-based website for a notice of software. Thank you.

  11. I’m happy to hear that Linux Mint 22.2 is coming soon with a new HWE kernel offering better hardware compatibility with the new peripherals recently released on the market.

    For gamers coming from Windows and using AMD-ATI GPUs, it would also be nice to offer the ability to update “Mesa” as well as “Firmware-Amd-Graphics.” This is important to ensure proper support for their favorite GPUs under Linux Mint.

    Paradoxically, things are less complicated if you use an Nvidia card; you just need to make sure you have installed a recent proprietary driver…

    The upcoming release of LMDE 7 is also very good news; I hope it will be released soon and thus bring joy to all its users.

    All the best to your team.

  12. I have a little camera on my laptop, and I wanted to take a photo for fun and got surprised there isn’t any camera app preinstalled in mint.
    It’s surprising me because there is a quite nice option to take a photo in system settings > account details when changing the picture of the account, but no way to get the file of the photo.
    It isn’t a big problem since it’s super easy to just download a camera app with the software manager, but it would be nice to have a small app just to take photos directly installed with Mint.
    Also thanks for this awesome os !

  13. Hello mint team, I am happy to visit what will continue with Linux Mint 22.2 and LMDE 7 soon.
    Personally, however, I opted for Arch Linux with Gnome on the Mini PC and Debian with Gnome on the older laptop.
    But I will definitely take a closer look at LMDE 7 and who knows, maybe it will get a chance.
    Best regards from a Linux Mint user since Olivia!

    So, this the reason why was not approved my comment regarding latest issue with libpciaccess update?!

  18. Will LMDE 7 have a 32 bit version? I have a 19 year old dual core HP Pavilion laptop that works adequately with 32 bit LMDE 6 and an SSD drive. I also used the Software Manager to install MATE which works well. (My daily driver is, of course, a bit more modern with an 8 core Ryzen 7, NVME drives, and 32 gb of RAM.)

    1. It seems Debian 13 Trixie, LMDE7 base, is not going to provide a 32-bit netinst, CD or DVD image. There is only some i386 packages related to a reduced support on 32 bit dependencies used by some 64 bits packages, like Steam and other that depends on them. Debian Wiki provides a release notes with a link to the whole explanation. Also, those few remaining 32-bit packages are compiled to support only 686 processors.

  19. > We will not tolerate any kind of ideology.

    I am a little confused because the way this is phrased sounds like you mean I’m not allowed to advocate for free software, and surely that’s not the case. Was there a specific incident that is the cause of you making a blanket statement like this?

    Reply

    1. There’s been a couple of rogue actors in several previous blog updates which devolved to pointless arguing over political/ideological topics which have nothing to do with Linux Mint or its development. The important part is when they say:

      “We’re not here to fight for such or such ideas, we’re here to build something together and to protect our project and our community. We want comments to be on-topic and constructive, always.”

      Which is not only reasonable, but also should be common sense

  20. Clem, a question as to Donor Names. I note it shows a name and then an Initial. I have 3 “first names” and am wondering is John T. for $10 is for me, or the John C. is just now showing up. I have donated a lesser amount for over two years, but was wondering if the old amount occasions were included in the newer $10 amount?

    Reply

  21. The words about ideology and freedom of speech are unclear. Seemingly you mean the following. ‘The Mint developers reserve the right to make discussions on the comments to the blog resolutely unpolitical, because they are concerned only with making a good product.’ Admittedly though a clear statement has a better defined attack surface than a muddy one, as it were. But at least, with a clear statement, people will understand you.

    Reply

    1. Something like this I think would of been better…

      “The Linux Mint developers reserve the right to moderate discussions to be completely apolitical, as we are only focused on making Linux Mint the best it can be. As such, users should remain on topic.”

  22. Clem’s anti-political statement is wise, though some will debate that and its wording. I worked as an elected official for a major national party for years nationally and internationally, and we found many bot and agent-based operations designed to infiltrate communities, enrage people, or disrupt community operations. Clem is right that this community is about Linux Mint, and straying from that and into politics is best avoided. Stay strong, Mint community!

  23. If it’s getting a new kernel, does it make sense for the version to be called x.2 anymore going forward? Wouldn’t it make more sense for these mid-cycle kernel refresh versions to be a x.5 version instead? e.g. 22(.0), 22.1, 22.5, 22.6, 23(.0), 23.1, 23.5, 25.6, etc

    Reply

  24. Please add a package selection in installation process. People will be able to deselect the software they don’t need/want (much less bloat and much faster installation process) and select any additional software they want to install (much less configuration post-install). I don’t think this step is going to scare new users, if it does, we can always hide it with a advanced dropdown menu during installation. Please add this feature, this is very well needed.

    Reply

    1. I agree 100%. For me, when I do a clean install, I first uninstall Firefox and a bunch of other programs that I personally find unnecessary. This would be a good alternative, allowing you to choose what you want to install and what not. You have free will to install whatever you want. Free choice, and that’s how it should be.

    2. Yes Shashank, I absolutely agree with you! Thank you for making this suggestion.
      Although I don’t disagree with a general full fledged (AKA bloated) installation for the average user mass, an advanced option to debloat at installation would be very very welcomed.
      When I do a fresh install I spend a lot of time debloating my beloved Mint, removing programs, dependencies, libraries, languages, etc. that I will never ever use. This takes some time. A KISS install – Keep It Simple Stoop – done from the start is the easiest, fastest, much more stable and reliable way to do it.
      Cheers.

    3. Personally, I just reinstalled Synaptic Package Manager back on my Linux Mint.

      You can easily install/remove multiple programs at once, as well as block programs. I removed both Firefox and Thunderbird, and blocked them so they don’t get reinstalled/updated.

      As for browsers, I think they could do something similar to what Peppermint OS did with the browser chooser. Instead of just shipping Firefox, they include no browser preinstalled… but instead have a tool that lists all the major browsers (Brave, Vivaldi, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) to be installed easily.

    4. Agreed with this. There are a few programs I always uninstall right away and being able to just untick them during install would be great.

  25. > There is no set date for the release but we’re hoping to get the BETA [of Linux Mint 22.2] out by the end of July or the beginning of August.

    Is there a possibility that Linux Mint 22.2 will include LibreOffice 25.8?

    Thank you

    Reply

    2. No. As Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu 24.04 (noble), which has LibreOffice 24.2, Linux Mint 22.x will have LibreOffice 24.2.
      For, newer version of LibreOffice you can use noble-backports, PPAs, Flatpak.

    3. If you want to keep LibreOffice up to date, there are a few options:

      1. Use the Flatpak. Go to the Software Manager and search for LibreOffice and install the one with the Flatpak box symbol. Once you test it out to see if you like this version, you can then uninstall all of the default libreoffice*, uno*, libuno*, and ure* packages that came with Mint. This option might not have full system integration, takes up more drive space, may be slightly slower, and won’t use any of your current libreoffice configurations.

      2. Use the LibreOffice PPA. This is the option I personally use, as it integrates well with the system, and replaces the version that comes with Mint, in-place, without having to uninstall anything, and uses your current libreoffice configutation, so you don’t have to change anything. The only drawback is, using PPA’s introduces a very small (albeit unlikely) chance of security risk from the PPA maintainers. Personally, I’ve never seen anything like that actually happen, and I’ve been using PPA’s since 2008, so I’m willing to take that risk. Go to a terminal and type the following, and then refresh Update Manager and update your system:

      sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

      3. Use the .deb installers offered on libreoffice.org. First you’ll have to uninstall the libreoffice version that came with Mint (all libreoffice*, uno*, libuno*, and ure* packages), as these .deb installers are in a different format, and don’t play nice with existing packages. Download and copy them into their own folder, open a terminal, cd into the folder, and type sudo dpkg -i *.deb.

    4. Just wanted to add my own experience to Mike F’s suggestions for updating LibreOffice. If you use the Flatpak for LO version 25, I would suggest keeping 24 as well, because it integrates certain functions with the system that the Flatpak will not. Both versions can live on your computer. Removing the LO that comes with Mint seems to be a very delicate proposition. As to using the LibreOffice PPA to update to 25, in my own experience that caused instability. 25 kept crashing, even though i followed the right procedure. If the old LO does what you need it to do, it’s safer just to keep it. You can check the LO website to see what is in version 25, and decide if you need the new features. Again, just my own experience.

  26. In Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon and Wayland don’t work yet. Under Linux Mint 22.1 Xfce4, when I split two Firefox browsers in half, when I move and adjust the size of one browser window, the other one does not react as it does under Cinnamon. Currently there is Xfce 4 18, will the new version 22.2 improve it?

    Reply

    1. In LMDE6, I discovered that somehow – I had switched my logon to use the “Experimental” XWayland mode. Only started searching for the reason that graphics started to behave in unusual ways (or sometimes not at all). Additionally, it treats a UK English keyboard as if it is a USA English keyboard.
      The obvious fix was to use the standard default Cinnamon, presumably non-wayland mode.
      I can forsee Wayland causing lots of problems for many years to come.

    2. Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE divides two windows on the desktop by moving the center with the cursor between them. Xfce4 does not have this feature, there is only a split screen in half.

  27. Thank you for the monthly update that I have been eagerly awaiting 🙂

    You talked about the further development of Cinnamon in a blog entry at the beginning of the year, especially about the application menu, will this innovation be included in the upcoming version of Linux Mint?

    1. It doesn’t matter, noise or nonsense. A right-wing nut or racist; a fake, annoying, extreme leftist meant to make people hate the left; an actual annoying, myopic focused leftist ranting about (insert random source of moral indignation here); a conspiracy nut with a grain of truth and a whole world of nonsense built on that; and everyone wanting to be seen as supporting there ingroup and not actually taking any real action to help themselves or others. It doesn’t matter. I’m looking forward to Mint 22.2 and deploying it on a bunch of computers in our community at the end of Windows 10. I currently direct an electronic recycling nonprofit, and we have several events scheduled at the local library over the next few months to help users transition to Linux Mint. I’m not bragging; I’m not even doing most of that work, as I have my fingers in too many pies. But I hope all of you will do something positive. You matter, we matter, so do it!

    2. Brian K you’re here making stupid, hateful political statements, as if every right-winger is a racist nut… or that extremist leftists are fake. It would of been better to just leave those parts out TBH.

      Good to see you deploying Linux on a bunch of Windows computers though. 🙂

  29. Great news about the update to HWE. Whenever I install mint on new hardware; I always end up installing the latest available kernel, thru update manager; to get as much of the hardware recognized by the system as possible. One less thing to worry about. Thx

  31. What would it take to create a “Migrate to Mint” campaign?
    I mean, apart from money… Obviously one attribute is a web presence, ideally this could offer a video showing how simple it is to install and use Mint. In my experience the hardest part is getting into the firmware (BIOS/EFI) and disable that prevalent ‘Windows boot manager’ feature. Ideally there would also be a means to promote local events to show skeptics what they are missing, perhaps ‘bring your laptop and we will help you migrate’ sessions.
    What does the community think?

    Reply

    1. Interesting. I’ve never had to go into the BIOS/EFI and disable ‘Windows boot manager’ when installing Mint.

      Otherwise, my thoughts on this are: Someone with a good, clear voice, good skills at writing clear and easy to follow instruction scripts, and good videography and editing skills, could easily put together a video that Mint could add to their web page, if that’s something the team thinks is valuable.

    2. “disable that prevalent ‘Windows boot manager’ feature”

      What does that even mean? I’ve never had to disable anything on the UEFI in order to install Mint. Windows Boot Manager is just the name UEFI gives to the Windows boot loader, it doesn’t interfere with the installation of LM at all, that’s just something that appears on the boot menu if the UEFI detects a Windows installation on a connected drive.

  32. Great news about using hwe kernel. Whenever i install mint on new hardware, i always end up updating to the latest available kernal, thru update mgr; so the system will recognize as much new hw as possible. Now there is one less thing to worry about. Thx.

  34. Hi Clem – Great job over all the years. I think you have made Linux the “alternative:to desktop”. Also loving the fact that you continue to run both lines with LMDE and Ubuntu-based Mint. I am using both and graphics are great and stability is awesome. If I may suggest an addition for the nemo file manager: On file copy/move, a pause – resume function would be really nice – maybe even with optional checksum validation of the transfer I think part of it had been in former release, but got dropped?

  35. Will Mint 22.2 HWE / “Edge” also ship with an updated Mesa and amdgpu firmware version? There are tons of requests in the forum from people using the new generation of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, and it would be really good if those can run without tinkering in Mint.

  36. Hi LM team,

    Great work as always. I have one suggestion regarding new kernels. Is it posible to add pop up from update manager when a new kernel series iz available? For instance, i see that 6.14. kernel is now available for download, but you can only see this info when u open update manager and click View > Linux Kernels?
    This way users will be informed that there is new kernel series available.

    Reply

  37. Sad to read that the comments have turned into a warzone on previous posts, but on the other hand, I didn’t even know there were comments to begin with. I cannot wait until the new HWE kernel is available, especially with the improvements included for AMD hardware, my RIG will be most pleased.

    As someone who distro-hopped a lot, Mint is a nice breath of fresh air, in the way that you actually get to breath and get stuff done. Amazing distro.

    Reply

  38. Clem, I have a question for you.

    I notice that X11/Xorg is gradually being phased out by all distributions (Fedora, CachyOS, Ubuntu (25.10), OpenSuse, etc.) as well as major desktops (Gnome, KDE) in favor of Wayland. I assume that Ubuntu 26.04 will work fully under Wayland, since starting with Ubuntu 25.10, X11 support will be completely dropped. For now, Wayland is in experimental mode under Linux Mint. In that case, will Mint 23 (probably planned in a year) be ready for full Wayland support? Do you think you’ll be ready by next year?

    Thanks for your reply.

  44. Hi Clem and the gang. Sincere thanks for the great work you do. I’m a very basic user who moved to Mint in or about version 16 and have remained since. I have installed Mint on hundreds of my friend’s machines, the very vast majority remain loyal to Mint. The one (very minor) issue I keep hearing from them is that when they turn on their machines, the lack of a boot animation or immediate graphic indicating that something is happening is offputting and when they in turn show Mint to their friends it is sometimes remarked upon, especially on older hardware. Maybe down the road you would consider introducing something at boot that would indicate that the system is loading. Thank you.

  49. Hello Clem,
    Would it be possible to enable the numeric keypad automatically at startup, like on Windows?
    This can make a real difference for beginners and help avoid many password issues.
    Currently, I believe you need to install numlockx and enable a setting in the keyboard options.
    Why not include this by default?

    Reply

    1. Personally I have set this in the bios of my machines. On my desktops I want numlock enabled as my keyboard has a separate numeric pad on the right hand end of the keyboard. (I have not got numlockx installed). On my laptops i do not want this as the number keys are also shared with the letter keys as the laptop keyboards lack the separate numeric keypad.

    2. In Cinnamon there is an option to enable it. Search the net for how to enable it.

    3. sudo apt install numlockx (this package isn’t installed by default)
      and after, choose Linux Mint Menu – Administration – Connection screen – Activate numlock

  50. Thanks for fingerprint. I have it in LM 21.3 with Lenovo Thinkpad and it is working, but every other try.
    Since it is one-time chance to verify, I frequently type password. Not sure if that is hw issue or I do not register it properly.
    Anyway, previously it was possible but needed looking around on how to set. So it is great to have it available in 22.

    Reply

  51. I tried using the Zotero plugin in LibreOffice when installed as Flatpak; it was working but the functionality was limited. For the Zotero plugin to fully work via LibreOffice, LibreOffice should be installed via the distribution’s native package (manager).

    Please correct, if this above has been modified.

  52. Dear Clem,
    Since 2016 I started switching my computer consulting clients (90% of them) from Windows to Linux Mint Cinnamon. I love using LMC myself and have it on almost all of my own PCs. However, on my office PC (Intel NUC Skull Canyon), when I perform a “safe” update I completely lose all video on the next boot. I have verified that reverting to any previous kernel version does not resolve the issue. The issue has to do with some other package. I’m patiently waiting for version 22.2 in order to test and see if the problem still persists or not. I’m hoping that the switch to Wayland will soon be reliable and that this problem will disappear. In the meantime, I have advised my clients to wait for the next version and have stopped switching clients from Windows to LMC for the moment. I’m still having issues with the audio signal over HDMI as well. Again, I know you have a lot to do, and I sincerely appreciate your efforts, but right now I’m in panic mode and hoping that these problems will soon be resolved. Thanks for your time.

    1. I agree. The new modal dialogs are too big and too invasive. We should have the possibility to customize them or continue to use the old ones.

  55. Moving to a hwe kernel is genius, and exactly solves the problem I’ve been having. Invariably when I install mint; I end up upgrading the kernel to the latest version available thru update manager. So that, the system recognizes all the latest hardware. I always worried I was increasing the risk of introducing breaking bugs. Now you’ve lessened the risk for me

    I have two main wishes, I hope eventually become true and that is better multiple monitor setup:
    Like putting firefox with netflix in fullscreen sometimes goes fullscreen on the wrong monitor without any indicator why it would choose this monitor. Also I would love to have 2 different background pictures for the desktop.
    The other thing is better audio drivers. Friends complained that my headset quality got worse since I switche from Windows 10, although to be fair that is maybe a skill issue on my side.

  62. Will the networking and audio controls occasionally double posting in the notification area be fixed in Mate? It’s not a deal breaker, I just log out and log back it. In I think 22 it never happened, they were spaced a little wider apart and that seemed to fix it. Then they were close together again in 22.1 and the problem returned. Or, maybe tell us how to change the spacing in a configuration file.

    Other that that, Mint Mate is the perfect OS as far as I’m concerned.

    Reply

    1. If I recall correctly, in MATE you adjust the spacing manually.
      You unlock the placement, move the control, and lock it back at its new place.
      It’s much easier with XFCE.

  69. 1️⃣ Amélioration de l’outil de capture d’écran

    Ajouter l’envoi direct dans le presse-papier (comme sur Windows) pour coller rapidement dans un chat ou un document.

    Intégrer plus de fonctionnalités :

    Capture avec temporisation (délai)

    Choix de la forme (rectangulaire, fenêtre, plein écran)

    Possibilité de capturer une page entière

    Outils d’annotation directement après la capture

    2️⃣ Intégration simplifiée de Wine

    Inclure Wine par défaut à l’installation.

    Permettre, au clic droit sur un fichier .exe, d’avoir l’option Ouvrir avec Wine ou Installer avec Wine automatiquement, sans passer par la ligne de commande.

    3️⃣ Optimisation pour le jeu vidéo

    Améliorer l’intégration de Proton, Lutris et autres outils gaming.

    Mettre en avant la compatibilité jeux dès l’installation, tout en conservant la stabilité de la distribution.

    4️⃣ Personnalisation de l’interface et du clic droit

    Ajouter des options de personnalisation plus poussées pour que l’interface puisse ressembler à Windows 11 ou Zorin OS, via un simple paramètre.

    Améliorer le menu contextuel du clic droit sur le bureau pour qu’il soit plus complet et pratique, comme sur Windows/Zorin OS (options directes de personnalisation, gestion rapide des fichiers, etc.).

    5️⃣ Gestion simplifiée des disques durs

    Détection et montage automatique des disques internes/externes au démarrage, sans commande manuelle ni logiciel tiers.

    Ne pas afficher automatiquement les disques montés sur le bureau, mais qu’ils soient immédiatement accessibles dans le gestionnaire de fichiers.

    6️⃣ Amélioration du réseau et du partage

    Faciliter la connexion à des partages réseau (NAS, Freebox, disques réseau) directement depuis l’explorateur de fichiers, comme sur Windows 11.

    Meilleure compatibilité avec le protocole SMB et détection automatique des périphériques sur le réseau local.

    I’m also using the beta 22.2 Cinnamon. I tested on the Liveusb for now. No New start Mint menu on Liveusb, it seems to be the old one. I checked the parameters of the start menu, no new options available. The fingerprint reader is working well. I can use it when the system ask me authentication. I used the Wayland session, it seems to working well, my language is well recognized (French). On the other hand, the input keyboard doesn’t work. I can’t change the layout to define my language keyboard because there is no option for that. It is available in X11 session (parameters -> keyboard -> layout).

    Here is for the first returns.

  76. Hi Clem, no new app menu? Do we have to wait for version 22.3? In chat you said the menu was ready for version 22.2

    1. In the February-March post, Clem said in the comment that the Mint 22.2 version would have a new app launcher. It seems a bit inconsistent to me.

  79. I can’t wait for LMDE7, I all ready love 6 but LMDE7 will use newer versions of accessibility tools which are important for a visually impaired person like myself
