Linux Mint 20.2 was very well received. Over at ZDNet, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols said:<\/p>\n
\nThe years go by, and I keep trying one Linux desktop distro after the other. But for more than a decade now, I come back to Linux Mint. Why? It’s simple: Year in and year out, Mint remains the best, easiest-to-use Linux desktop. That’s the case again with the latest release, called\u00a0Linux Mint 20.2 “Uma.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
We were delighted to see your reactions here on the blog when you started to use some of the new features. The search functions and the bulk renamer in particular proved to be very popular.<\/p>\n
The upgrade path was opened shortly after the official release and a few weeks later the new features were ported towards LMDE 4.<\/p>\n
We also took the opportunity to provide some of the improvements and bug fixes from Linux Mint 20.2 to 20 and 20.1 by backporting the latest version of the following packages: folder-color-switcher, gnome-online-accounts, hypnotix and youtube-dl, lightdm-settings, mint-themes, mintbackup, mintdrivers, mintinstall, mintlocale, mintreport, mintstick, mintsystem, mintupdate, mintupload, nvidia-prime-applet, warpinator and yelp.<\/p>\n
The next development cycle is now open and the next target is Linux Mint 20.3. It is planned for Christmas 2021.<\/p>\n
New website<\/strong><\/p>\n
When our current website was revealed it looked amazing. It did, people loved it, but that was in 2008. This was 13 years ago. The first thing people say when they see it nowadays is that it looks old and outdated. And they’re right, it is exactly that, old and outdated.<\/p>\n
Although it was interrupted by the release of Linux Mint 20.2 work continues on a new website.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n
The new website will have a new look but it will also feature an adaptive layout, work well on any device, present information in a modern way and focus on what most visitors expect to find when they first browse it:<\/p>\n
\n
- What is Linux Mint?<\/li>\n
- Why use Linux Mint?<\/li>\n
- How to install it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With the stable release just behind us the timing is right and this project is given more focus.<\/p>\n
If you’re talented in graphics design, UI\/UX design, web design or even artwork in general get in touch with us. This project is hosted on github at https:\/\/github.com\/linuxmint\/website-wizixo<\/a> and you can also get in touch with us directly by email at root@linuxmint.com.<\/p>\n
Right now we’re working on this website but we’re also constantly looking for artists. Put bluntly we can implement pretty much anything, any website, any software application, we can make it work and work really well, but we can’t make it look nice \ud83d\ude42 After this website we’ll have more websites to redesign, we’ll want our icon theme, GTK theme, titlebars and the look of the Linux Mint desktop in general to improve as well, and for this we need more artists to come and join us.<\/p>\n
