*Hello Linux Ort* That is a nice review - so thank you very much for that. These changes all seem intentionally slow - but that does not bother me. I use LMDE-6 - so it will be some time before any of these things are added to LMDE-7.
Maybe Cinnamon 6.4 will also be ported to LMDE 6, but I can't verify that at the moment :) You are right, these are only a few changes. At the moment the Linux Mint Team is working a lot under the hood to ensure Linux Mint will be proof for the futur :)
@@LinuxOrt *I see a bright future for Mint* It is a very welcoming Operating system for those wanting to leave Microsoft behind. Mint - makes the transition to Linux for such MS users - easier than many of the other distributions. Offering Mate & XFCE alongside of Cinnamon is good -- but I think there's a case to be made for a KDE version.
@@PaxAlotin Yes, lot of people leaving Windows. I've been in MS products my entire life, but I am really FOOKING FED UP with how they are handling Win10. So, I'm leaving. I've been abused quite enough, and I've just got to learn enough to jump ship before Oct 2025. I am not paying $40 bucks a year to keep my systems up-to-date w/virus protection.
Don't know why Mint developers make rounded corners on dialogs and such but the windows still have square corners on the bottom. Can we just go all rounded please?
I am an old world PC guy, technician and problem solver etc, even though I have not done much in that area for decades I still get people asking for help when I am back in my home town, and even in my other career I would end up being the Tech guy... anyway, this version of Mint looks good, though I have to wonder what you really mean by "looks more modern" in reference to the volume slider and calendar. to me it seems this "Modern" look is a mirror of Windows, which is a take from older Apple styles. I agree that the 1980/90's desktop graphics are over due to being replaced, I do not see anything modern in the current ideas from Linux or Windows. none of that is an issue though, for me as i get older, the biggest issue with all computers is the font, the bigger the Resolution of the desktop and yet the fonts still look like standard from 1989. IDK. I do know a larger more suitable modernized font would save all users eyes as much as the nightlight can. computers are not going away, but fonts need to improve, on this at least Android and Apple are trying. (just my current opinion)
With Linux Mint 22 my old eyes have difficulty reading the off white text on a medium grey background. I'm hoping the colour adjustments increase contrast enough for me to read everything.
Mint does a great job of taking Ubuntu an improving upon the product for the end user. I always say, when people switch from Linux Mint to another distro, it's because they are bored with Mint because it simply works.
You can switch to Wayland experimental on the login screen. I don't use it because it still has issues with screen recording/capture but the option is there
@@Craft2guardian in your settings scroll down to driver manager and install the latest Nvidia drivers. That should fix it. You on Mint 22? Worst case PopOS has Nvidia drivers built in
I have tried out mint via live version on usb, i am going to switch from win10 to mint by 10/1/25. I really like this version. I would have to aggressively be active in a linux support forum being a new user. Good video🤓
I've been using Arch with Cinnamon after daily driving Mint, and one day the layout changed, and the horizontal OSD extension stopped working properly... I was wondering what was going on, now I know 😄
I like the Linux assistant, but I do think it was available in LM22. I was super helpful to locate a ppd (printer driver file) the other day having ran a .deb package on one of my LM machines. I am so happy I came across LM. One day the tortoise like large file transfer (After the firt few GB) will get resolved.
Thank you for more this video. Tbh what I really care for is Cinnamon, not Mint, and I would like to know what new versions of "gnome" apps it may come with, and what's new on the Xapps front with the GTK3 versions resisting the GTK4 wave.
Looks promising. I guess i was expecting more changes. I do distro hop but always have mint in rotation. As well as pop!_os but the wait for cosmic is getting way too long.
@volkiruski1221 ok i have a 55in smart TV that I use for everything plus a 20in Dell monitor I running a core i7 8800 with 1660ti graphics card and 32gigs of ram with 2 tb SSD And I have ThinkPad t530 with 16gig ram and a512 ssd
@OldChevy79 Looks to me it will work with HDMI just try it, if you use a disk or better a usb stick with the Linux Mint and you boot from it, you first try out. If you like it you can officially install. I wait till this beta is a final then I install. Linux Mint is the new no.1 at Distrowatch!!
I tried to install this on a 2014 laptop (HP 8370) When I try to boot from the disc I get an error message, Disk error or unsupported disk, please reboot. Something like that. Got any ideas?
@@MarkCorder It's not the disc. I tried 3 different SSDs and I am booting from a USB. I've never had any problems with Linux Mint. I've installed Windows 10 on the disc and that's running fine.
@@Sonya_Makepeace I had this problem on an old HP 6390p. Some OS's after installing and restarting give that message - LM21.3 did (and a couple of others). However some OS's like Sparky linux worked - It could be loaded after installing and restarting and works very well. I suspect it's something to do with GRUB or the way the newly installed OS tweaks the BIOS in terms of boot drive after installation.
@@kychemclass5850 I've just installed the latest Linux Feren OS on this laptop, and it's working fine, so there must be a problem with that Mint Distro.
@@LinuxOrt Your accent is really thick, requires getting used to it. But the content is cool. I'm glad that I found this channel. And yeah, Germany is a cool country so feel free to take it as a compliment - and a compliment from me as well, my German dude.
Linux Mint supports HDMI, I am writing this on an extended Monitor connected to HDMI. But sometimes the monitors attached to don't like linux. At the current point of time this should be very rare though.
If by slim chance you meant the desktop doesn't have a HDMI port You can get VGA to HDMI adapters quite cheaply (make sure it's VGA to HDMI - many of them do HDMI to VGA!) As for the LM itself it absolutely does support HDMI. I Use it regularly and also through a HDMI splitter. Hope it all works out for you.

An easy to use Night Light was well overdue on Mint. Glad to see it. About time too.
Now just XFCE needs to implement it & I will be happy
Cinnamon 6.4 coming to LMDE 6 soon!

I don't like rounded anything. Rectangles make me happy.
Loving the built in night light Mint was really missing that. Hopefully my cinnamon customisation will survive version updates.

I have come across several OS's and app developers doing this. It's astounding how such a blend of colours was ever considered.
p.s. have you seen the theme adjustment comment below? It may help.
Just stick to Windows old men
I would anyone use windows if not forced to? Linux users are happier users cause they have control over their machine and not the other way around

I hope wayland support gets added in the next few years
crazy that it doesn't support Wayland already considering x11 is almost dead

@@quackmandoo Yeah but it made my screen black and I had to reinstall mint. Idk if that is because of having an NVIDIA gpu.

@ yes I am on mint 22 but it was my first time using Linux so idk if I made the right choice
LM is awesome OS. Btw cool review thx.
Those who want to use the new theme :
Search Themes on menu > Open Themes app > Advanced Settings > Desktop > cinnamon
What if I want to keep the old theme?
I'm using Mint 21.3, and CTRL +, CTRL - doesn't work in my terminal window either. So it's presumably a long standing issue.

How are root privileges now done in Mint without a polkit agent?
I've been using Arch with Cinnamon after daily driving Mint, and one day the layout changed, and the horizontal OSD extension stopped working properly...
I was wondering what was going on, now I know 😄

Is it working with hdmi
I have Linux Mint and use an old TV of 32 inch and connected by HDMI. My computer is a Dell Inspire mini comp. My combination works very well.
@volkiruski1221 ok i have a 55in smart TV that I use for everything plus a 20in Dell monitor
I running a core i7 8800 with 1660ti graphics card and 32gigs of ram with 2 tb SSD
And I have ThinkPad t530 with 16gig ram and a512 ssd
@volkiruski1221 my big thing is do any with windows this year
@OldChevy79 Looks to me it will work with HDMI just try it, if you use a disk or better a usb stick with the Linux Mint and you boot from it, you first try out. If you like it you can officially install. I wait till this beta is a final then I install. Linux Mint is the new no.1 at Distrowatch!!
did they fix the ACPI errors for 22.0 ?
22 was worse release in 2 decades.

It sounds like the disc is bad. Can you boot from a USB drive? That would be a better way to do it...

they're changing the default accent color to blue AGAIN????
They need to get with the times
Wish they stuck to X11 my 1280x1024 laptop screen is only getting 640x480 now so I will be trying something else.
I assume this is the latest Beta version? For testing by the public? Not yet the new final version?
This is the latest beta version. From now on only bugs are fixed.
@@LinuxOrt How can I update my version of Mint to this one?
If linux gaming was up to par id switch. I couldnt do it.
a monitor connection
new look, same program
I would love to put Linux mint on my desktop, but it does not support HDMI
