From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The Linux Mint 22.1 distribution was slated for release in December 2024 with a revamped Cinnamon theme and better package management.

Slated for release in December 2024, near the Christmas holidays, Linux Mint 22.1 will ship with the soon-to-be-released Cinnamon 6.4 desktop environment featuring a revamped theme that’s much darker and contrasted than before, rounded elements, redesigned dialogs, and a gap between the applets and the panel.

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.

I love Mint 22 so far, it really has matured where my home computer is running Mint is more stable than my work computer running Windows 11, luckily my company uses CrowdStrike so nothing to worry there.

But really I now recommend Mint to my non tech savvy friends and family, as a person who uses Linux should! But joking aside took my sister's old laptop running Windows 7, slapped a SSD and upped the ram to 8 GB into it with Mint and she has been happy
