Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As always, I’d also like to thank our sponsors and donors. Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n
