Dated December 2017 - Dated but LTS releases follow the same path. As far as stable (not completely bug free) goes you can do a search on the internet like I did. © copyright merimaat you looking for a system without bugs / problems … well Good Luck! And the heavier the user you are, the more likely you will find some bugs. Mint is great, Tina is great, so just sit back after doing everything to start off with, one off things, apart from updates and just get on an enjoy using it. Really there is nothing more to say than that. Some knock it for that, but I think that is its strength for most people just want something they can use and don’t have to have a great knowledge about things. Mint is and always has been stable, easy to use and none frightening to ex-windows users. Would I recommend the update to everyone ? Yes I would without missing heart beat to do so. Apart from minor things and I’ve probably said that about all versions of Mint, it is great. So is Tina the best? Well yes it is at the moment. Every time there is a new release in Mint, we think it is the best yet, then another version comes along and we think the same again. ![]() Without doubt all the hard work that Clem and the time have put into it has paid off. Improvements are clear all round in Tina, it looks and feels better and it is noticeably quicker. You can find other browsers in Software Manager, or just use Firefox to download them, or even like I do have the package on external drive and from when you last downloaded it and then install it (just remember to update it). Again Mint ships with Firefox as the web browser, which I hate and I hoped that Mint would offer an alternative pre-installed, but they’ve not done so. I was disappointed that the Libre Office version installed was the previous version of it, but this easily sorted using Flatpack to install the newer version. I did find that after doing everything the first restart seemed to hang, but after that the restarts worked well and again quicker than in previous versions. You don’t have to use everything on there, but it is a complete guide. I know some may disagree with me, but this is the only site I trust to use to ensure you get the best possible experience with Mint. Now you don’t have to do all you do is say no to it on the blue banner.Īs usual for me I headed to to round things off. ![]() Previously in Update Manager to not be asked if you want to use a local source you went to edit to do so. The other thing you can’t help but noticing is how everything is clearer than even it was on 19.1.Īs I had done a clean install, I used the back up tool to restore my personal data and yet again I found this to be quicker than before.Īfter using TimeShift, to seal everything in place. ![]() ![]() One change worth mentioning is that the printer icon is on the panel which makes it easier to directly print things. The familiar Welcome Screen welcomes you, making setting up things a breeze. Again I found this quicker than previous versions of Mint. The install is the same reliable non-frightening thing that it has always been with Mint, guided and simple to use and as always very quick. I always use the World Wide location and the thing that I found with this version of Mint it downloaded quicker than previous versions seemed to do. but to be honest I don’t as I just want to use it and am not that bothered about the techie stuff. I suppose you should really read the Release Notes, which can be found here: I don’t know how many downloads it had, it will have been a lot and I was one of them.Īs usual I stuck with the Cinnamon Desktop Edition, because I love it and that is the only reason, oh and perhaps because it was developed by the Mint team for Mint. On Friday, 2 August, 2019, after much anticipation Clem and the team released the stable version of Linux Mint 19.2, “Tina”.
