Monthly News – January 2025

Linux Mint

Hi everyone,

We received donations from 852 people in December, for an all-time monthly record of $31,720!

Every time this number goes up I think of it the same way. I imagine that many people in one big room, all there just for us. Imagine it for a moment. It’s huge, not only in terms of support but in terms of validation and motivation for the entire team.

December celebrates the holidays, the end of the year and a new Linux Mint release. We get more donations in December than in any other month. It’s never been that high before though.

We see a compliment here and a sign that you really enjoyed our work. I’d like to thank you for this gift and for this message. Many many thanks for doing this for us!

How to upgrade to Linux Mint 22.1

Linux Mint

By: Clem

18 January 2025 at 15:41

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

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 22.1 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 22.1 Xia”.

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 (1.2.7 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.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the BETA so far!

This release introduces new features, tools, and artwork, so we anticipate a good number of bug reports. Every single fix helps us refine and improve the final release. Your feedback during the BETA phase is extremely important to us.

Linux Mint 22.1 is our second release based on the 24.04 package base. Some of the updates address long-standing usability issues we had in some of the components we replaced. We’re confident these changes will lead to a very stable release.

So far, we’ve received 43 reports. Thank you very much to all the BETA testers for helping out and providing feedback. And many thanks to all of you for your support and your donations.

Linux Mint 22.1 “Xia” – BETA Release 12 December 2024 at 16:25

Linux Mint 22.1 “Xia” – BETA Release

Linux Mint

By: Clem

12 December 2024 at 16:25

This is the BETA release for Linux Mint 22.1 “Xia”.

New features:

This new version of Linux Mint contains many improvements.

For an overview of the new features please visit:

“What’s new in Linux Mint 22.1“.

Important info:

The release notes provide important information about known issues, as well as explanations, workarounds and solutions.

To read the release notes, please visit:

“Release Notes for Linux Mint 22.1”

System requirements:

2GB RAM (4GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
20GB of disk space (100GB recommended).
1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).

Upgrade instructions:

This BETA release might contain critical bugs, please only use it for testing purposes and to help the Linux Mint team fix issues prior to the stable release.
Upgrade instructions will be published after the stable release of Linux Mint 22.1.
It will be possible to upgrade from this BETA to the stable release.
It will also be possible to upgrade from Linux Mint 22.

Bug reports:

Bugs in this release should be reported on Github at https://github.com/linuxmint/mint22.1-beta.
Create one issue per bug.
As described in the Linux Mint Troubleshooting Guide, do not report or create issues for observations.
Be as accurate as possible and include any information that might help developers reproduce the issue or understand the cause of the issue:
- Bugs we can reproduce, or which cause we understand are usually fixed very easily.
- It is important to mention whether a bug happens “always”, or “sometimes”, and what triggers it.
- If a bug happens but didn’t happen before, or doesn’t happen in another distribution, or doesn’t happen in a different environment, please mention it and try to pinpoint the differences at play.
- If we can’t reproduce a particular bug and we don’t understand its cause, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to fix it.
The BETA phase is literally a bug squashing rush, where the team is extremely busy and developers try to fix as many bugs as fast as possible.
There usually are a huge number of reports and very little time to answer everyone or explain why a particular report is not considered a bug, or won’t get fixed. Don’t let this frustrate you, whether it’s acknowledged or not, we appreciate everyone’s help.

Monthly News – October 2024

Linux Mint

By: Clem

Many thanks for your donations and for your support.

Night Light in Cinnamon

The team is working on adding Night Light support in Cinnamon.

Night Light consists in reducing the amount of blue light emitted by the screen. It makes the color of your monitor warmer as you get closer to bed time to help reduce eyestrain and improve sleep quality.

In the past Linux Mint shipped with Redshift to provide this functionality. Redshift wasn’t integrated in the settings though, it only worked in Xorg and it was auto-configured by something called geoclue which is no longer functional.

The team is hoping to have this feature fully integrated into the Cinnamon desktop and working out of the box, both in Wayland and Xorg.

Clutter Dialogs

Work continues on migrating key Cinnamon dialogs to Clutter.

Here is the dialog which pops up when a keyring needs to be unlocked:

And here is the one to confirm display changes:

Donations via Stripe

Stripe was added as an alternative to PayPal on the donors page.

This was done to make it easier for people who couldn’t or didn’t want to donate via PayPal. More countries and more bank cards are supported by Stripe and no account registration is necessary.

Framework Laptops

We started working with Framework. We’re hoping this will lead towards a great partnership.

Framework promotes a concept which is quite admirable. They make high-performance laptops which are easy to upgrade, repair and customize.

They want to achieve full compatibility with Linux Mint and the Cinnamon desktop. That’s also very important to us because it means we can recommend this brand within our community without having to worry about compatibility issues.

Their laptops are packed with components we don’t have or technologies which we hadn’t really focused on yet. This will boost new areas of development for us.

The Laptop 13 they sent me just arrived today so I won’t be able to review it until the next blog post. Spoiler alert: I like it

When it comes to hardware I love it when a product feels special and/or of high quality. I’ve had many different computers in the past. The ones I enjoyed the most weren’t the most modern or the most powerful, they were the ones I grew attached to, either because they were very well built or because I loved something unique about them. I still work mostly on a Mintbox 3 and an old Macbook Pro Retina. I’ll be comparing this Laptop 13 to these two next month.

Hellotux Garments

Some of our branded clothes will soon be discontinued.

Hellotux can’t source the green Mint shirts anymore.

Some sizes are missing, some are reduced. We’ll also probably remove the old Mint logos eventually.

If you like the green shirts or the old logos don’t wait until they’re gone.

Linux Mint

Many thanks for your donations and for your support.

Visual improvements in Cinnamon

Within the team Joseph continues to work his magic. Bit by bit he’s improving the look and feel of the Cinnamon desktop.

The new default theme landed on the master branch. It’s much darker and contrasted than before. Objects are rounded and a gap was introduced between the applets and the panel.

The dialogs were redesigned. They’re nicely balanced and feature separated buttons.

When an application is frozen and no longer responds Cinnamon shows a “Force Quit” dialog. This used to be a Gtk window. It was rewritten in Clutter to look like the rest of Cinnamon:

The media-buttons OSD looks more modern and much cleaner than before:

and so does the Workspace OSD:

Joseph is also working on notifications, animations, the main menu, pkexec/logout dialogs, a new status applet… but I don’t want to show you too much yet. We’ll cover this in the news, little by little during the development cycle, as it gets finalized and becomes ready for inclusion in the next version of Cinnamon.

Aptkit

The transition towards Aptkit and Captain is now finished. Starting with Linux Mint 22.1, set to be released this December, none of our projects will depend on aptdaemon, synaptic, gdebi or apturl anymore.

Aptdaemon, mintcommon’s aptdaemon module and ubiquity will eventually be discontinued.

The transition towards Aptkit and Captain gives us the following benefits:

No more translation issues. Everything is now fully translated.
No more bugs/papercuts. We no longer depend on unmaintained components which are upstream from us.
Redefined scope. Anything we didn’t need was removed, anything that was missing (purging packages, downgrading to specific packages etc..) was added.

This allowed us to completely refactor the code in the Update Manager and greatly simplify its architecture. It worked well but it had been written decades ago and some of the techniques and components it relied on weren’t future-proof. Its multithreading code was deprecated and hard to maintain. It depended on Synaptic and technology related to Gtk.Plug/Socket which couldn’t work in Wayland. It also handled multi-processing calls and serialization itself. All of this was simplified.

In the Software Sources tool, the downgrading of foreign packages was performed via a VTE (an embedded terminal). This is now handled by Aptkit directly, with a nice progress dialog.
