Linux Mint 20.2 is Now Available With New Features and Tools
======
Linux Mint 20.2 beta [arrived][1] a few weeks ago. And now, the final stable release for Linux Mint 20.2 is here.
This release is an LTS upgrade based on Ubuntu 20.04 that is supported until 2025.
Let us take a quick look at whats new with this release and how do you get it.
### Linux Mint 20.2: Whats New?
The key highlight of this release is the addition of update notification, which should encourage more users to keep their systems up-to-date to ensure best security.
It will [not force updates like Windows][2], but it will keep an eye out for how long you dont apply updates, check systems uptime, and then prompt you with an update reminder notification.

You also get to configure the update notifications, which is great.
Other major upgrades include **Cinnamon 5** desktop environment, a new bulk **file renaming tool** (Bulky), and **Sticky Notes replacing GNote** as the default note application.
![][4]
The file renaming tool is available for all the desktop editions, excluding Xfce, because its default file manager (Thunar) already supports the feature.
Cinnamon 5 is not exactly exciting, but there are some under-the-hood improvements to its performance and nice little option to limit its RAM usage.

And Sticky Notes is developed in GTK 3, supports HiDPI and offers more features, along with better integration with the system tray.

### Other Improvements
[Warpinator app][7] to share files across a network has received some upgrades making it more useful.
Other desktop environment upgrades include Xfce 4.16 and MATE 1.24. In addition to that, you will find certain subtle UI improvements and several bug fixes.
Especially addressing issues with NVIDIA graphics, along with the **support for hybrid graphics**, great news for Laptop users!
To know more about some of the detailed changes, you can refer to the [official announcement][8] for one of the desktop editions.
### Download or Upgrade to Linux Mint 20.2
You can find the stable releases directly from the official websites [download page][9].
[Download Linux Mint 20.2][9]
