Monthly News – December 2023

Happy New Year!

Many thanks for your support and for your donations. We received $10191 in November and $24146 in December. The number of donors was also quite impressive: 383 in November and 751 in December!

I’d like to thank you all for this and what it means to us. It doesn’t just help us financially, it makes us feel awesome and extremely proud of you, of us, of our project and our community. Thank you!

Linux Mint 21.3

The BETA phase for Linux Mint 21.3 has been relatively quiet. We received 50 bug reports. 35 of them are closed.

We’ll tackle the remaining 15 this week and make the preparations for a stable release and an upgrade path.

LMDE 6

LMDE 6 will receive all the new updates featured in Linux Mint 21.3. This will happen shortly before the stable release.

21.3 EDGE ISO

During BETA testing we identified compatibility issues between Linux Mint and new hardware devices (recent AMD graphics but also wireless chipsets and SSD controllers used in Acer laptops). These are solved by upgrading the kernel series from 5.15 to 6.5.

We’ll therefore prepare a new EDGE ISO for Linux Mint 21.3 shipping with a kernel 6.5.
