Mint is one of the most popular distributions in the Linux world, only behind Ubuntu. The release of a new version is something to always talk about, like this time, where it is already available to the entire Linux Mint 18.1 Serena community.

Linux Mint 18.1 with Cinnamon 3.2 and MATE 1.16

Linux Mint is one of the best distros, especially for desktop PCs, so it is very difficult to improve it. Perhaps that is why the news in Linux Mint 18.1 Serena is not so large, but still it is always worth updating.

Among some of the most important novelties of this version, we could highlight: The inclusion of Cinnamon 3.2 and MATE 1.16, under the base of the Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS system. The Mint developer team also highlights improvements to the X-Apps, in the HiDPI support for the Xreader reader, the Xviewer image viewer and dark theme for the redesigned text editor Xed. Tweaks were also made in the update manager and in the artwork .

”Linux Mint 18.1 is a release with extended support until 2021. It comes with updated software, various refinements, tweaks and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use. This new version of Linux Mint contains many improvements. " This is what Clement Lefebvre, the person in charge of this distro, comments.

If you already have Linux Mint 18.0, you can easily upgrade to this version from the operating system's own update manager.
