Due to these visual changes, the Mint-Y-Darker theme will now be available from the repo by installing the mint-themes-legacy package. Linux Mint’s default theme Mint-Y received a bunch of improvements as well, including rounder titlebars with bigger buttons, as well as the replacement of accent colors with tinted greys. The good news is that the app is not Linux Mint exclusive and it can be installed on any other GNU/Linux distribution.įor all supported editions (Cinnamon, Xfce, and MATE), Linux Mint 20.3 promises some interesting visual changes, namely dark mode support for the Celluloid, GNOME Terminal, Hypnotix, Pix, and XViewer apps (the latter two won’t support dark mode on the Xfce edition) even when you’re using a light theme. This brings some neat changes and enhancements for users of the Cinnamon desktop, so check out my article linked above for more details on that.Īnother interesting change in this release is a brand-new app called Thingy (Library), which is an XApp that can be used as a one-stop place to quickly access recent and favorite documents. One of the major highlights of the upcoming Linux Mint release is the latest Cinnamon 5.2 desktop environment for the flagship Cinnamon edition.
The Linux Mint team already shared some of the new features coming to this update in the Linux Mint 20 series, which is based on the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) operating system series and supported for 5 years.īased on the Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS release, Linux Mint 20.3 beta sticks to the Linux 5.4 LTS kernel to minimize any failures that may occur during upgrades from Linux Mint 20.2 “Uma” or a previous version. Linux Mint 20.3 was unveiled in early October 2021 and it’s scheduled for release near the Christmas holidays.
