The Linux Mint Blog

Hello everyone,

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

LMDE 7

Work started on LMDE 7, codename Gigi.

The goal for this release is to bring the following features together:

• A Debian 13 package base
• The improvements which shipped with Linux Mint 22.2
• Support for OEM installations

The OEM support was already implemented during the Mint 22.2 development cycle, so we were able to progress really fast on this. It’s now been tested in real conditions on top of the new package base and it’s working very well.

The new Mint 22.2 features were also ported to LMDE 7.

We’re adapting the libadwaita-1.5 changes to libadwaita-1.7 and re-applying patches at the moment.

Note that i386 is no longer fully supported upstream by Debian 13 so LMDE 7 will only ship for amd64.

The BETA for LMDE 7 will be released this September.

Linux Mint 22.3

Although the latest release came later than expected and we’re currently focused on LMDE 7, we’re still planning on having a Mint 22.3 release in December.

This is going to be a very short release cycle. The priority will be the new version of Cinnamon and shipping some of the important WIP (work in progress / planned features) which were started earlier this year:

• The new menu
• The status applet
• The Wayland-compatible handling for keyboard layouts and input methods

Enjoy!

We look forward to receiving your feedback. Thank you for using Linux Mint and have a lot of fun with this new release!

It is now possible to upgrade Linux Mint 22 and 22.1 to version 22.2.

If you’ve been waiting for this we’d like to thank you for your patience.

1. Create a system snapshot

You can use Timeshift to make a system snapshot before the upgrade.

If anything goes wrong, you can easily restore your operating system to its previous state.

Launch Timeshift from the application menu, follow the instructions on the screen to configure it and create a system snapshot.

2. Prepare for the upgrade

If you installed Cinnamon spices (applets, desklets, extensions, themes), upgrade them from the System Settings.

3. Upgrade the operating system

Upgrading to Linux Mint 22.2 is fast and easy.

In the Update Manager, click on the Refresh button to check for any new version of mintupdate or mint-upgrade-info. If there are updates for these packages, apply them.

Launch the System Upgrade by clicking on “Edit->Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.2 Zara”.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

If asked whether to keep or replace configuration files, choose to replace them.

4. Reboot the computer

Once the upgrade is finished, reboot your computer.

Commonly asked questions

• If the upgrade is not available to you, check that you have the latest version of mint-upgrade-info (1.2.9 or higher) and restart the Update Manager by launching it again from the applications menu.
• If the latest version of mint-upgrade-info is not yet available in your mirror, switch to the default repositories.
• This happens rarely, but if you ever got locked and were unable to log back in, switch to console with CTRL+ALT+F2, log in, and type “killall cinnamon-screensaver” (or “killall mate-screensaver” in MATE). Use CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to your session.
