Hello everyone,

Many thanks to our sponsors and to all of you who support the project with your donations.

Mint 20.x EOL

It’s been 5 years already!

Linux Mint 20.x releases (i.e. 20, 20.1, 20.2 and 20.3) reached EOL (End of Life) and are no longer supported. They will continue to work but they will no longer receive security updates from the repositories.

If you’re running Mint 20.x, you have two main options:

– Fresh installation of Linux Mint 22.1 (recommended): This is supported until 2029 and is the cleanest approach – backup your data and do a fresh install.

– Upgrade path through Mint 21: This gets you support until 2027 and involves multiple steps:

• To upgrade 20, 20.1 or 20.2 towards 20.3 follow this tutorial: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4216
• To upgrade 20.3 to 21 follow this tutorial: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4378
• Optional: To upgrade 21 to 21.3 follow this tutorial: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4629

The minor upgrades towards 20.3 are quite simple, easy and fast. The upgrade from 20.3 to 21 on the other hand is a major upgrade. It is longer and more complicated. Take your time with this one and don’t hesitate to seek assistance within the community, in the chat room or on the forums.

For more information on upgrades visit https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html.

Fingerprint Authentication

Linux Mint 22.2 will feature a brand new app called “Fingwit“.

Fingwit is a fingerprint configuration tool.

It detects if your computer has a fingerprint reader and lets you record your fingerprints.

It then configures your system to use fingerprint authentication for:

• The login screen
• The screensaver
• sudo commands
• Admin apps (pkexec)

Under the hood, Fingwit uses fprintd but provides a smarter PAM module than pam_fprintd.so. Whereas fprintd just uses fingerprint authentication all the time, Fingwit is able to detect problematic cases and dynamically switch between fingerprint and password authentication. For instance if you’re trying to log in but your home directory is encrypted, fingerprint authentication would log you in but your session would crash since ecryptfs requires your password. Fingwit detects that kind of things so you get fingerprint authentication as much as possible, but avoid such issues.

Fingwit is an XApp so it works everywhere, in any desktop environment and on any Linux distribution.

XViewer color correction

While working on themes and colors, it came to our attention that the XViewer image viewer was applying an EDID-based color correction filter to pictures and wasn’t showing pictures exactly as they were.

This “feature” could sometimes lead to a scenario where you could take a screenshot of an app, open up the screenshot, color pick the app and the screenshot of the app and get different color codes.

Color management is already handled at hardware and desktop level, so we found this feature in Xviewer surprising and counter-intuitive. We decided to make it optional and to disable it by default.

libAdwaita apps and patches

Starting with Linux Mint 22.2, libAdwaita will be patched to work with themes. Support for libAdwaita was added to Mint-Y, Mint-X and Mint-L.

The following apps will be upgraded to their libAdwaita versions:

• gnome-calendar
• simple-scan
• baobab

libAdapta fork

In the scope of XApp and for our own projects, libAdwaita was forked into libAdapta:

https://github.com/xapp-project/libadapta

LibAdapta is libAdwaita with theme support and a few extra.

It provides the same features and the same look as libAdwaita by default.

In desktop environments which provide theme selection, libAdapta apps follow the theme and use the proper window controls.

LibAdapta also provides a compatibility header which makes it easy for developers to switch between libAdwaita and libAdapta without requiring code changes.

Framework

Last but not least, I wanted to talk about Framework a little bit.

The company sent me some of their hardware so I was able to test the Laptop 13 and the gaming Desktop already.

Their products are really nice. I hope to be able to review them soon and add them to our store section.

This isn’t just a commercial partnership. By testing this hardware we boost compatibility for the brand and significantly improve Linux Mint.

It’s thanks to Framework we implemented power profiles in Linux Mint 22.1. It’s also thanks to them that we worked on fingerprint authentication or pushed towards an HWE kernel in Linux Mint 22.2.

Their hardware challenges us to do better, because it’s packed with features in need for support.

It’s a lot of fun to play with modern tech and it’s a real treat when it contributes to making Linux Mint better!

Codenames

The codenames for the next releases of Linux Mint and LMDE were chosen:

• Linux Mint 22.2 will be called “Zara”
• LMDE 7 will be called “Gigi”

PewDiePie

We have a new user!

How many of us now? We don’t count. Dozens at least, dozens!

Welcome to Linux PewDiePie!

A hint of Blue in Mint-Y

We’re adding a little bit of blue in our theme.

This is common practice in UI design. It’s done on mobile, desktop and all over the web. Grey is rarely completely grey, it usually has a little bit more blue in it than red and green.

Take your color picker and check the grey on GitHub. It’s not #f8f8f8, it’s #f6f8fa. Firefox does that well, Google docs, Trello etc..

The reason this is done is to make grey slightly more metallic looking and appear more modern. Pure grey is neutral, it can be perceived as cold or warm based on its surroundings. By bumping the blue (or in the case of github both the green and the blue) we force it to look cold.

Here’s an interesting discussion on the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/UXDesign/comments/1cd40iz/why_apples_systemwebsite_grey_shades_always_lean/

Another reason this makes the UI look more modern is because this is done a lot nowadays but it wasn’t done so much 10 years ago. Like with all new trends, sticking to past standards can make things feel outdated.

Interestingly libAdwaita also just did this.

If you update your Flatpak libAdwaita applications you’ll see they now use #222226 for dark and #ebebed for light.

Because there are many libAdwaita apps already in Flathub and since our own theme is already quite close to it in terms of colors,  we’re adapting Mint-Y to use the same colors.

The difference in the light theme is subtle. It probably wouldn’t be noticed by someone who wasn’t told this had been done. The headers go from #e8e8e8 to #ebebed.

The difference is more visible in the dark theme, which also affects dark apps and the panel and cinnamon clutter elements in the default theme. This one is going from #2b2b2b to #222226 and #404040 to #2e2e33. It looks more modern but also much softer than before.

These changes bring the following improvements:

• The themes look more modern
• The dark theme and Cinnamon elements are softer and much nicer looking
• Flatpak libAdwaita applications fit in a little bit better since they use the same colors

Accent Colors

We made a small change to the XDG Desktop Portal XApp to support accent colors.

The XApp desktop portal simply scans the GTK theme for a named color called “accent_color”. If this color is present it provides it via the XDG Settings API.

Put simply this changes the accent color in Flatpak libAdwaita applications based on your chosen GTK theme.

This works in Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce. All that is needed is for the theme to define its “accent_color”.

Note to theme artists: This is a one-liner in your GTK CSS.

@define-color accent_color #9ab87c;

libAdwaita

A year ago we complained about libAdwaita, not because it was bad, but because it didn’t support us. Applications made with this library only properly integrated with GNOME and broke functionality in Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce.

With the release of Linux Mint 22, GNOME Apps which used libAdwaita were downgraded back to their GTK3 versions so that they could continue to function properly in the desktop environments we support. This was a temporary solution until these applications either got replaced, removed, forked, or until we found a way to continue to use them.

I know our audience isn’t ready to let theming die. It would be extremely unpopular right now if we were to remove theme selection. And since we provide it, it has to work. We cannot ship with a desktop that provides theme selection and a core set of applications which violate it.

As shown above, we’ve updated Mint-Y to use the same colors as libAdwaita. We also made the libAdwaita accent color follow the theme. This helps the integration but it’s only a small step towards properly integrating these applications. It doesn’t solve the issue with window controls and doesn’t help with other themes.

Whether we downgrade or fork applications, I know many of the GNOME developers are as sad as we are about this fragmentation and duplication of efforts. We were talking about extracting epub support in Xreader last week and making a new app. It would take between a week and a month to achieve the level of functionality we see in something like Foliate, but what’s the point long-term? Wouldn’t it be better for Foliate to work outside of GNOME and for us to use it?

Within our XApp discussions we talk about Qt, GTK3, application alternatives, forks and rewrites. What we looked at recently is slightly different. How do we make GNOME apps continue to work outside of GNOME?

Is there anything actually wrong with them once they follow the theme and provide proper window controls?

We gave it a try. We added libAdwaita stylesheets in Mint-X and Mint-Y and made a few changes in libAdwaita to not use its own stylesheet.

As you can see, the layout and style of libAdwaita widgets is different than in traditional GTK3 applications. It’s more touch friendly with sidepanes, split navigation headerbars rather than menubars and toolbars. It works really well for some of the apps though.

In the GIF above, gnome-calendar, gnome-characters and foliate are libAdwaita applications. They integrate really well.

If we apply these patches to libAdwaita we probably won’t need to continue to downgrade the GNOME applications.

Upstream and long-term, if we continue to use libAdwaita applications we probably need an XApp platform lib similar to libAdwaita, either in the form of a soft-forks (libs and/or apps which are often rebased on upstream) or in the form of an extension library (something that extends libAdwaita, similar to libGranite).

Hi everyone,

Before we start with the news, I’d like to thank all the people who donate, sponsor and contribute in various ways to our project. Many thanks to all of you!

Note: The features which are previewed in this post are planned for upcoming releases. They are not available right now.

Searching for files in Nemo

The Nemo file manager was improved.

Its search functionality was enhanced. A new filter was added to find files using regular expressions matching their filenames.

Cinnamon in Wayland

We’re working on adding support for keyboard layouts and input methods to Cinnamon in Wayland.

Will this be included in the next release? Hopefully.

It’s functional but it’s not fully ready yet. Although it’s great news for Wayland compatibility, it can impact toolkit compatibility and input methods for Asian languages. We need a little bit more time to finalize it and properly test it.

OEM Support in LMDE

LMDE 7, which will be based on the next version of Debian Stable, will come with full support for OEM installations.

Thanks to OEM installs, Linux Mint can be pre-installed on computers which are sold throughout the World. It’s a very important feature and it’s one of the very few remaining things which wasn’t supported by LMDE.

OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturers”. It’s used to refer not only to manufacturers but to any company big or small which sells computers. This feature is also used by individuals who either donate or sell their computers.

When you prepare a computer to be sold, you don’t know its future user. You can’t select the username or the password. Big companies might not even know the user’s language, timezone or keyboard layout. So this feature allows the system to be pre-installed on the computer, without selecting user details.

These details are later asked to the user via a first-run wizard when the computer is turned on.

CJS

We’re changing how we handle version numbers for the JavaScript engine that powers the Cinnamon desktop.

Previously, our JavaScript interpreter (CJS) shared the same version number as the Cinnamon desktop environment and was only updated when Cinnamon itself was updated.

Moving forward, CJS will be versioned according to the Mozilla JavaScript engine it uses, and we’ll update it independently from Cinnamon. This means:

• Updates can happen more frequently and efficiently
• New JavaScript engine improvements can be added without waiting for a full Cinnamon release
• The desktop environment can work with multiple versions of the JavaScript engine

This change will especially benefit Linux distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, making it easier for them to ship Cinnamon without having to maintain multiple versions of the Mozilla JavaScript engine.

Hi everyone,

Many thanks for your donations and support.

Here are the news for this month.

Important Firefox Update

On March 14, 2025, a root certificate used by Firefox will expire.

When this happen, Firefox version 128 (and lower) will suffer significant issues related to:

• configuration
• add-ons
• signed content
• DRM-protected media playback

To avoid these problems, make sure you’re up to date in your Update Manager. Press Refresh and apply all updates.

This is important for security reasons, and in this case it’s also important to avoid regressions.

Firefox 135.0.1 is available on all supported Linux Mint releases.

Firefox 135.0.1 was also sent as an emergency update to the following discontinued releases:

• Linux Mint 19.3, 19.2, 19.1 and 19
• LMDE 5
• LMDE 4

If you are using a discontinued version of Linux Mint (20 or older) or LMDE (5 or older) please upgrade or reinstall Linux Mint.

For more information on upgrades read https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html.

Website Maintenance

The backend for the main Linux Mint website was completely rewritten and containerized. This allowed us to minimize the interactions between the site and the hosting server, making it easier to upgrade the server and maintain/develop the website on different computers.

Sometimes we make a tiny little change and everybody loves it. This time it’s the opposite. It took a lot of time to get this done, yet nobody will be able to tell the difference.

The URLs were kept unchanged to avoid 404 errors.

Stripe was integrated and is now fully supported. Donations made with Stripe are now automatically handled and included in our stats.

Cinnamon App Menu

Work started on a redesign of the Cinnamon application menu.

This project is led by Joseph in our development team.

Here’s a preview of what it currently looks like:

Desktop and Release Stats

Our Datadog stats show us the following breakdown for our different desktops:

Note that these stats reflect downloads over the last 7 days, not usage.

Cinnamon represents 60% of our downloads, followed by Xfce and MATE at roughly 20% each.

The following chart gives us a breakdown per release:

Linux Mint 22.1 represents 70%, followed by LMDE 6 at 14%, Mint 22 at 8% and Mint 21.3, still relevant also at around 8%.

As previously announced, Linux Mint 22.x will not have an EDGE release. Starting with Linux Mint 22.2, the HWE kernel will be used.

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!

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.

The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 22.1 “Xia”.

Linux Mint 22.1 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2029. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use.

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“.

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:

• If you are running the BETA you don’t need to upgrade, use the Update Manager to apply available updates.
• Upgrade instructions for Linux Mint 22 will be provided in a few days.

Hi everyone,

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!

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.

As always, I’d also like to thank our sponsors and donors. Thank you for your support.
