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 what’s new with this release and how do you get it.
|
||
|
||
### Linux Mint 20.2: What’s 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 don’t apply updates, check system’s 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||

If you have Linux Mint 20 or 20.1 installed, you can choose to first apply all the available updates and then an update to your Update Manager.
|
||
|
||
Next, make sure that you have a backup (use timeshift if you want) and then head to the Update Manager’s System Upgrade option from the **Edit** menu as shown below.
|
||
