If you're a Linux Mint user and this distro has become your daily driver, then this news is for you.

Linux Mint 21.1 has a lot to offer with a new Cinnamon Desktop version.

The upcoming Linux Mint release is currently in beta, according to the project's developers. This is significant news because 21.1 will include the most recent Cinnamon desktop release.

Cinnamon has been updated to look cleaner and more up-to-date in the new version. Some of the desktop icons have been removed and are now pinned to the panel or opened from the main menu. Other new features include a new mouse pointer, new system sounds, and more vibrant colors.

The developers had to use fewer accents throughout the UI in order to achieve colors that were more vibrant. Additionally, this modification necessitated a number of minor theme tweaks.

Additionally, the Linux Mint Driver Manager now includes a more robust driver installation and a number of user interface enhancements. It is now easier than ever to install drivers for Broadcom wireless devices.

Flatpak integration into the Update Manager, a new user interface for the Software Manager, an easier method to verify ISO images via a right-click menu in the file manager, and numerous enhancements to the Nemo file manager are just a few of the other improvements. Cinnamon 5.6 and Linux kernel 5.15 are included in Linux Mint 21.1, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04.
