debebee Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Linux Mint 19 "Tara" final is out by Martin Brinkmann on June 30, 2018 in Linux - 21 comments The Linux Mint team has released Linux Mint 19 final, codename Tara, in the desktop environment flavors Cinnamon, Mate, and Xfce. Linux Mint users who run Linux Mint 18.3 or a beta version of Linux Mint 19 will be able to upgrade to the new version directly. Those who don't need to upgrade to Mint 18.3 first or install the new version of Linux Mint manually instead. Linux Mint 19 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and a long term service released itself. The developers will support the operating system until 2023. Linux Mint 19 Tara is available in three desktop environment versions. While many features are identical between environments, it is the case that some are unique to individual desktop environments. One of the big new features of Linux Mint 19 is Timeshift. It is part of all desktop environments. Timeshift creates snapshots of the system so that users may restore a previous version of the system using the functionality. Thanks to Timeshift you can go back in time and restore your computer to the last functional system snapshot. If anything breaks, you can go back to the previous snapshot and it's as if the problem never happened. It works similarly to Windows' System Restore feature. Along with support for Timeshift comes a change in the Update Manager. The Linux Mint 19 update manager suggests to install all updates in the new version of the operating system instead of a selection of updates. The main idea behind the change is that users and admins may restore a previous system snapshot using Timeshift if the installation of updates causes issues. It is still possible, however, to deselect updates so that they are not installed.

Really if you use KDE best to install a OS like Ubuntu KDE or Manjaro with just stable updates , If you install a DE on and OS like mint from upstream you're just asking for bugs. The reason people use Linux mint is because it's so stable and has 5 year LTS release but it's no longer the most popular distro at Distrowatch. Manjaro has been for awhile now. https://www.distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=popularity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
