12/13/2023 0 Comments Linux mint versions![]() ![]() LMDE 2 'Betsy' was a long term support release based on Debian Jessie. It was announced on May 27, 2015, that the Linux Mint team would no longer support the original rolling release version of LMDE after January 1, 2016. Unlike the other Ubuntu-based editions (Ubuntu Mint), LMDE was originally a rolling release based directly on Debian and not tied to Ubuntu packages or its release schedule. ![]() In 2010, Linux Mint released Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). Starting with Linux Mint 6 'Felicia', each release was based completely on the latest Ubuntu release, built directly from it, and made available approximately one month after the corresponding Ubuntu release (usually in May or November). The same year, in an effort to increase compatibility between the two systems, Linux Mint decided to abandon its codebase and changed the way it built its releases. In 2008, Linux Mint adopted the same release cycle as Ubuntu and dropped its minor version number before releasing version 5 'Elyssa'. This made the two systems' bases almost identical, guaranteeing full compatibility between them, rather than requiring Mint to be a fork. It then followed its own codebase, building each release from the previous one, but continuing to use the package repositories of the latest Ubuntu release. Linux Mint 2.0 was based on Ubuntu 6.10, using Ubuntu's package repositories and using it as a codebase. It had few users until the release of Linux Mint 3.0, 'Cassandra'. Linux Mint 2.0 'Barbara' was the first version to use Ubuntu as its codebase and its GNOME interface. Linux Mint began in 2006 with a beta release, 1.0, code-named 'Ada', based on Kubuntu and using its KDE interface. The Linux Mint project was created by Clément Lefèbvre and is actively maintained by the Linux Mint Team and community. Compared to Ubuntu, it uses a different Cinnamon interface by default, using a different, more traditional layout that can be customized by dragging the applets and creating panels. It can provide full out-of-the-box multimedia support for those who choose to include proprietary software such as multimedia codecs. Linux Mint is a community-driven Linux distribution based on Ubuntu (which is in turn based on Debian), bundled with a variety of free and open-source applications. Mainly GPL and other free software licenses, minor additions of proprietary software 13-18.3: Cinnamon / MATE / KDE SC 4 / Xfce. ![]() There are also Linux Mint 21 ISOs for the MATE and Xfce desktop spins too. Cinnamon 5.4 re-bases its Mutter-based compositor / window manager against the state from Mutter 3.36, various window manager improvements, improved window animations, GTK anti-aliasing is now used on all windows, and various other enhancements. With Linux Mint's Cinnamon Desktop there is Cinnamon 5.4 powering Linux Mint 21. Linux Mint 21 also features improved Bluetooth handling by replacing Blueberry with Blueman, Linux Mint's own xapp-thumbnailers is its new thumbnail generator, a basic process monitor is now integrated into the desktop, various other XApps improvements, printing and scanning improvements, and artwork improvements. With moving to the two year newer Ubuntu packages there is a plethora of package upgrades and other enhancements to this Linux distribution. Most notable with Linux Mint 21 is transitioning its base from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release from earlier this year. Linux Mint 21 has been officially released as the newest version of this popular desktop Linux distribution built atop Ubuntu. ![]()
