Therefore, those working on a computer that does not have any problems with Linux 5.15 should not consider installing Linux Mint 21.2 Edge.

Then there is LMDE, whose sixth installment I arrive last week and is based on Debian. Linux Mint is the main one, based on Ubuntu LTS and where all possible improvements are added sooner. It is responsive and lets you install the software in minutes. On the other hand, Linux Mint offers access to a lighter Software Manager. 1 Comment This is a quick announcement to let you know an Edge ISO image is now available for Linux Mint 21.2.With this edition they would all be there.
