Switching Back to Linux Mint, Ubuntu Derivative

I have been using Linux Mint Debian Edition for about two years. It is a solid distro.

But I am tired of it being a second class priority. The majority of the time and energy does into the main distribution, the one based on Ubuntu.

Today, I have switched back to the main Linux Mint Cinnamon edition. I am now running Linux Mint 21.3.

Linux Mint 22 is set to release, most likely in August. Linux Mint 22 is in beta now.

Spread the love
