Great review

The enthusiasm in this man's voice is the only reason why I watch his videos.

Can't wait for the full release. Almost tempted to try out the Beta, but worried about the instability. Have you had any issues?

thank you so much. super lucid , concise content. looking forward to checking out more!

Incredible overview of the new Mint. Thank you for covering this. You've done a great job. I am so happy to have found your channel. So many features in Mint, makes me realize that I am not as fearful about Dec of 2025. I've got machines that are Win10 and can't go up to Win11 ... like i7-6700k (two or three of those). So, I'm gonna move my File Servers to Lint, I think.

Even though I'm 100% pro-Linux, if you're super deeply embedded in Windows it's really not hard at all to make those Windows 10 machines run 11. I've done it on two or three of my older machines that were previously Windows, then later changed to Linux, just because I wanted to see how Windows 11 would run on them. Spoiler: it wasn't good. But it worked, and it was easy with just a short registry edit.

If you end up like Zorin but wanting more, just try another distro with KDE. Zorin uses a windowsy KDE theme. That’s all it really is.

Another very well explained,and visually brilliant video.I have been using LMDE as my secondary distro,but may give this a go.....On a different note,I would interested in seeing you do more how to videos.Thanks.

Thank you for yet another excellent 👌 video & explanation.

I just installed this on my office desktop computer and really like it. I didn't do the dual boot option and wiped and reloaded the hard drive. I am thinking about doing this to my other Windows desktop I use to watch in my living room. Would have already done it but I can't figure out HDR running on Linux.

Will the POP tiling shell work on this.? or is there a TILING script possible for this for AUTO- tiling (no key crap)...????

Ok sounds great, but can I have 2 mice and change the left/right buttons for the second mouse? And can I adjust the scroll speed? These things have been lacking for a long time in Mint, and have to be done with tricks or are impossible.

I have no sound on my Zenbook UX430UQ on 21.3 Mint Cinnamon, Alsamixer says I have a Realtek ALC295 sound card. I went on the Asus Website and it says I installed the latest BIOS, tried to enter a few lines suggested by forums but the best I can get is a few seconds of audio then a quick drop off and back to no sound. Anyone knows what to do?

Why isn't it out yet? I thought it was scheduled to come out on Christmas?

I cannot figure out how to put the home folder on a different drive from my OS. Does your course cover that?

I was a Mint lover for years. And then I met LMDE 6.0.

I am having issues with screen share when using Wayland. Anyone else facing it as well?

Hello. I've installed Linux mint 21.3 and when run "from vpython import *, sphere()" by using vscode, jupyter notebook, pycharm the browser open with black screen without the object. The same happen with Pop-OS, Ubuntu and Fedora... Please, help me!

Cinnamon gets very confused if you have three monitors and XFCE has STILL got the problem with system sounds. I didn't try MATE. 🙂

I ran this beta because at login you can choose Wayland, but it's very buggy. I'll stick with my Mint LMDE6

Maybe you can answer this; why does the latest upgrade disable our laptop sound cards, and why does Mint not address this with a fix or a rollback, or even a setting tab in the system settings? It's very irritating having to use a Bluetooth speaker, instead of our previously fine sound apps. Not all users are tech whizzes.

One of the biggest disadvantages in using Linux is the fragmentation. Way, way too much time is spent creating new distros from scratch, or forking old ones. Dev's just want their 15 minutes of fame in being able to say they have a github and founded some linux os, lmao. I know this is Mint, but the issue of working things being removed, and later introduced as a "new feature" isn't confined to Windows :)

I love lmde and I'm on lmde

Hi, can you please help me. I have re-installed ubuntu/fedora about 8 times in last 7 seven days. the problem is i have nvidia graphics cards and after installing distro work fine for 1 day and then it says nvidia kernal module missing and then the boot time goes upto infinity and everything else becomes too slow as well. I'm not expert at linux i can't figure what could be wrong.

i was using dual mode in my laptop with windows 11 but now I am using only and only linux mint

That's great. But Linux mint doesn't have an aarch64 version, meaning you can't install it in a virtual machine on the new Macs M1, M2... or only in emulation mode which is very slow.

So, I can choose folder colors now. Mind-blowing.

I would use Linux Mint if they support BTRSF as OpenSUSE and release KDE Plasma spin of LM.

@k.b.tidwell

I've got two(?) laptops running Mint with BTRFS. I do a manual disk setup on install, and handle it there. I guess you mean using BTRFS as default?

I wish Mint gave you an option at install to use something other than systemd. I don't care about the Linux philosophical problems with systemd, but I have a Dell 3189 that's SUPER slow to boot with systemd. I've got MXLinux on it which boots with SysV (actually switchable to systemd - if you really want it), and it's probably twice as quick at boot. Nevermind my little 2-core Acer E11...it just about freezes with Mint. I love Mint on my more powerful stuff, but for my low-spec hardware it's just too heavy in several ways.

@@kae0196thanks, yeah, I've looked at Puppy and all of its variants, but after ten years of distro hopping and setting up distros, I've kind of settled into what I enjoy and want in one, in an old man set in his ways manner. I've grown to love the beauty and maturity of Mint, and in my opinion only, it's the nicest, most convenient distro out there without a lot of user manipulation required. At this point I just need my distro to get out of the way and let me get work done, so I (no disrespect to what you use and enjoy) don't want to waste my limited time messing around with system adjustments. I've got one Windows writing program that teeters on unuseable with most all distros, but runs very well and beautifully with Mint, so I'm constrained (in my mind) to trying to make that work. But thank you for that recommendation! If I get time I'll look into Puppy again. Have a great day.

Great-but how did you get Arnold Schwarzenegger to narrate? :?)

Cinnamon is awful. I think I'm switching to XFCE or going back to Windows. You can't change the Panel's application icons to stack vertically when more than one application is open, you know, like Windows XP. It took me 2 hours to find out where to turn off the Desktop Background. It's under a drop down menu called Picture Aspect Ratio (default 1.2) I can increase the Title Bar Font Size on my windows, but not resize the tiny close box X icon buttons. It's all very frustrating and it's like they did no user testing before they rolled it out.

The host of this video obviously Mint in the context of ninety nine point 99 percent of regular everyday users, not lennox networking admins.

So... as a linux mint user, I see not much new features actually = ) Wayland experimental? No thank you. All other features looks just like what we already have. Did not notice anything of interest.

I've had nothing but problems with it..

The initial experimental support of Wayland is a surefire way to mess up your system. You should definitely use it. It keeps Linux consistently uselessly buggy. ;-)

Does it run adobe prodcuts?

How safe is linux (any distro) nowadays after the major XZ Util backdoor attack??? I used to think that Linux was THE safe OS but now, not that sure.

Wirginnyah

No KDE Plasma? No thanks! I don't use severely outdated desktop environments, without Wayland support and without HDR support!

WTF too much hype - like you're a paid infomercial. The best thing about it is that it seems to have a few subtle changes that make it look 0.5% more like the amazing Plasma desktop... but it's still far more limited.

"Unfortunately, despite being in its latest version, Cinammon is still unable to keep up with design trends in 2024. It's appalling that they still have rounded corners at the top of windows and not at the bottom. It's something so repulsive. Some might argue it's trivial, but it's not. Why can you customize the wallpaper background however you want? It's to give the system a pleasant impression, which unfortunately is ruined by the hideous window edges.

To me it's still looking dated. Free and open linux distros - they all have the same problem (yes, even Plasma looks just so so). Chineese distros like Deepin, FydeOS (ChromeOS-copy) or my favourite Ubuntu Kylin look a lot better - fresh, minimalistic, functionally, but these are not trustworthy. I love the apperance of ChromeOS, Ubuntu Kylin or Windows8, Windows10, and I wish there was at least one free distro looking stunning just out of the box without spending hours on customisation. (Gnome looks not too bad, but it has completely different philosophy and to me it is not a DE for every day use).
