Linux Mint 22 is official! Here's what's new and how to try it for yourself

Here's everything new with Linux Mint, now based on Ubuntu 24.04, and where to download your preferred version.

The big ticket item for this release is a retooled Software Manager that opens the main window immediately while content loads in the background. Language packs can take up considerable drive space, so this should be a boon to those installing Linux Mint on smaller devices with fewer resources. All subsequent point releases will follow the Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel series, which improves support for newer devices.
