Should I wait for 22.2 or just install 22.1? I think I’m going to go for the cinnamon desktop and install using a Rufus USB on my ~ 9 year old Dell XPS 13 9350.

I’ve been waiting a while as I thought the next version would be out by now, are there any resources for finding out how close the next version is?

Is it easy to upgrade between .x versions?

    its very easy. they know many of their users are not experts.

    ive been through many of these upgrades and have a dozen or so machines runnin mint… upgrading has never gone sideways on me. its one of the benefits of mint. their upgrade processes are very well tested.

      Thanks - I’m hoping to get all my household machines switched over, maybe look at a HomeServer install.

      If all goes well then my parents and extended family are getting upgrades from Win10. I set them all up with decent laptops in the last 5-15 years with SSDs, wifi6/7 and maxed out memory upgrades. If it wasn’t for TPM2 required for Win11 and Win10 EOL things sure would be different.

        i feel this… i donate time to senior citizens, and its mostly mint upgrades from windows as they do not want to have to update their windows machines.
