Hold on to your seats, folks, because today we're going on an exciting ride with the all-new Linux Mint 22, codenamed "Wilma". We’re taking our first look at the next major release of one of the most popular linux distros in the world and let me tell you, this update is absolutely loaded. There are new features, important changes and some exciting surprises.

Linux Mint's Cinnamon desktop is a major reason for its popularity, and this time we're seeing Cinnamon 6.2 rolling out, and this brings us some phenomenal improvements. There are also big updates to core Mint apps, including a significantly faster Software Manager. There are also some under the hood changes, especially security improvements for Flatpaks - you don't want to miss that.

This new Linux Mint series is also based on a new platform that is Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, so there’s an updated software set, a new kernel powering the whole thing and a fresh computing experience.

So without further ado, let's jump right in and have a look at the all-new Linux Mint 22 "Wilma".

    You make me want to use every distro you review lol. My production machine is Fedora and my play machine is ArchCraft, but I’ve even running Linux Mint without issue on the machine my wife uses for 6 years. Really solid distro

    Linux Mint is a breath of fresh air. I can't wait for the official release to upgrade to Mint 22.
  • @bennyboiii1196
    I actually like the change from older kernels to tracking Ubuntu. I know many new to Linux users who install Mint on new hardware and have compatibility issues left and right on a fresh install. They often don't understand what the problem is, because the idea of a monolithic kernel is alien to them. In this case, having newer kernels often solves more problems than they create. Just don't go bleeding-edge. That's all I ask.

    Wish and hope that someday soon they'll include the Burn-My-Windows effects as Extensions in Cinnamon.. that would be very cool.

    Totally loving your content... So looking forward to more videos on the new Linux mint. ❤

    I think I started with mint five. Really liked it, but wandered around with different distro's. They have been very consistent in their approach and not swayed by alternate tablet type control. Well done. I think it might be time for me to play around with the new version. Any problems with jelly fin?
  • PLEAZE LINUX MINT!!! update those icons and visual styling! Your base is well created BUT those icons wow :( at least make the visual stuff much easier for newbies.
  • @n0viewers409
    In my experience your more likely to have bugs from a bleeding edge desktop environment more than an up to date Kernel, for instance Garuda Cinnamon is crazy stable while being enormously up to date. I mention the previous statement because Garuda Dragonized and Gnome are both littered with bugs thanks to KDE and Gnome being less stable on the latest releases, at least on my PC with an Nvidia GPU. Right now I am maining Mint 21.3 until Linux Mint 22 comes out which btw I am so excited about. Mint is just the all around perfect OS with no BS developed for the User before anything else, I really love it!
  • @oraz.
    I love Mint. I wish Cinnamon would get a visual update. Those extra titlebars I always wish would go away.
  • @DavidsonMott
    I wonder if the next version of Linux Mint will be named Fred?

    I just subscribed to your channel and have been watching some of your videos. I'm really excited to see a video about the '20 Things I Must Do After Installing Linux Mint 22'. I'm super new to Linux, currently just a few days into using Linux Mint 21.3 with no prior experience in any distro. Your tips would be a huge help. Thanks in advance 🫡
  • @cybernit3
    Well I have been using Ubuntu 24.04 LTS since its release and it has been pretty stable. So I figure this new Linux Mint should be stable and might be easier to use and without snaps. But Ubuntu is good enough for me and started to get use to Gnome.

    Hey Wilma!!! Yaba daba doo! 😂
  • @e002840
    Yeah, I knew a video was missing and that's the one 😂

    Just ditch X11 and implement Wayland natively on Cinnamon. X11 can't get SFTP on KDE Connect right. It always directed to empty directories, yet it works perfectly in Hyprland.
