Many thanks on your continued help and on your donations!

A number of further visible modifications had been carried out in preparation for Linux Mint 21.2.

Tooltips

We had been planning on redesigning our tooltips for some time. The principle purpose was that they lacked consistency and regarded barely completely different relying on the place they got here from (GTK2, GTK3, Cinnamon). Additionally they featured a gray border which didn’t look clear round their yellow background.

Wanting round us at different working techniques, Linux themes and what was carried out on the Internet, we discovered that just about no one used the normal yellow colour anymore. We tried a couple of issues and finally settled on what we predict appears one of the best for us. Somewhat than utilizing yellow, black or gray tooltips we determined to make them use the accent colour.

We mounted the consistency points throughout the varied GTK variations and Cinnamon. We additionally took inspiration from Adwaita and made our tooltips greater, rounder and with bigger margins.

In Cinnamon we additionally added a little bit of house between the applets and their tooltips so that they wouldn’t be caught to the panel.

Notifications

Cinnamon notifications may even be utilizing the accent colour.

And every time potential they’ll choose symbolic icons.

Though these modifications are fairly small they proceed to make the desktop feel and appear cleaner and extra trendy.

In Linux Mint 21.1 efforts had been made to make the accent colours extra particular, extra vivid however much less used. This continues this development. Notifications and tooltips are transient parts which spotlight an occasion or a function. They need to be lovely and noticeable.

Secureboot

An replace in Ubuntu’s shim-signed broke the compatibility of all Linux Mint (and previous Ubuntu and spinoff) ISOs with secureboot.

If due to this you might be unable to put in Linux Mint, for now we advocate to disable secureboot.

We’re at present engaged on a repair for future ISOs and taking this chance to evaluate the best way we produce our photos.

Upcoming Releases

We’re planning three releases for the Summer time (or Winter for those who’re within the South Hemisphere):

Linux Mint 21.2
An EDGE ISO launch with kernel 5.19
LMDE 6, based mostly on the upcoming Debian 12 (set for launch in June)

To ensure that all releases to get the 21.2 modifications, they need to come out in that order, with as much as a month separating the Mint 21.2 and the LMDE 6 releases.

No ETAs have been determined but.

Warpinator

Work continues on hardening the safety elements of Warpinator.

The instrument not too long ago obtained help for landlock and bubblewrap. These applied sciences had been used to ensure folder isolation, principally making Warpinator technically unable to write down exterior of its devoted obtain folder.
