This is barely visible Cinnamon restarts itself seamlessly, you just see the mouse cursor get reset on the screen when this happens and a notification pops up to show you what was upgraded. Automated Cinnamon Spice updates Notifications In the past, available updates were simply indicated by a little orange dot on the Update Manager's icon in the system tray and could go unnoticed for long periods of time.
In Linux Mint Updates notification This new notification feature was designed to add comfort to the user experience, not remove any, so making sure it was a nice addition and not an annoying distraction was key. The way this is handled in other operating systems such as Windows or Mac for instance was an example Linux Mint did not want to follow. For the notification to be welcomed and welcomed again it needs to happen for a reason, to be easy to dismiss if your are busy, to not come back constantly and to not come back at all for a long while after you apply the updates.
When a notification is dismissed it is snoozed for 2 days. When updates are applied it goes away for a long time. The conditions for the notification to be shown in the first place are configurable. Notification preferences By default, the Update Manager shows a notification if a particular update has been available for more than 7 logged-in days or if it's older than 15 calendar days.
These values can be configured all the way down to 2 days or all the way up to 3 months. By default the Update Manager also only counts security and kernel updates as being relevant for notifications but you can change that in the preferences.
The last setting is a grace period. If any update has been applied on your computer in the last 30 days, whether it's via the Update Manager or via another APT software, no notifications will be shown. On computers where updates are not wanted and 3 months is not enough there's no need to keep the Update Manager running in the background and it can be disabled entirely. Other improvements The Update Manager handles the automation of Flatpak updates.
This was previously located in "Startup Applications". Automated Flatpak updates Unused Flatpak runtimes are automatically removed when this option is active.
The power source of the computer is now checked prior to the launch of automated updates to ensure they do not run when the computer is on battery.
Bulk File Renamer A new application was implemented to add the ability to bulk rename files. This new application is called Bulky and it is installed by default in Linux Mint You can launch it from the application menu and then select files, or just select multiple files in your file manager, right-click and choose "Rename In addition to the features which were present in GNote, Sticky also lets you place the notes on the desktop and quickly access them from the icon tray.
Notes can be of different colors and the text inside of them can be formatted. Sticky also features a backup mechanism and can import your GNote notes. Warpinator With Warpinator you could already transfer files from computer to computer across the local network but thanks to a new Android app you can now also do so with your phone and tablet.
To install Warpinator on your Android device simply search for it in the play store, or use the link below: The latest version of Warpinator features the ability to select which network interface you want to use. When you run in that mode, it is your Intel card which renders the session and a menu option is available to let you offload a particular application to your NVIDIA card.
From the command-line, two new commands are available to offload to GLX or to Vulkan: nvidia-optimus-offload-glx nvidia-optimus-offload-vulkan To boost compatibility and make it easier to boot Linux Mint 20 in live mode without NVIDIA drivers, "nomodeset" was also added to the "Compatibility Mode". Blueberry, mintupdate, mintreport, nm-applet, mate-power-manager, mate-media, redshift, rhythmbox all use XAppStatusIcon and give the tray a consistent look in Mint Cinnamon 4.
The new version tries to prioritize content and navigation and to delay thumbnails as much as possible. As a result, the content of directories shows up with generic icons before the thumbnails are rendered, but the improvement in performance is quite noticeable.
In the Display Settings, it is now possible to set the refresh rate. With Cinnamon 4. In normal mode the resolution you set is the resolution you see. Take a 13" Macbook Retina A display like this one looks perfect in px and that unfortunately means reducing the actual resolution to px and not using HiDPI.
Another issue with HiDPI is multi-monitor support. You could plug an external monitor to this Macbook in the hope to stay in HiDPI on the laptop but to be in normal mode on the monitor. That wasn't possible before though, either all screens or none at all could be in HiDPI Fractional scaling addresses these limitations. Middle-clicking the keyboard applet cycles keyboard layouts.
Cinnamon screensaver supports custom commands, making it possble to use alternative screen lockers with Cinnamon. XApps improvements Xed received the ability to join lines together and to remove trailing whitelines before saving files. Xviewer received fullscreen and diaporama toolbar buttons and remembers if its window was maximized. In Xreader a print button was added to the toolbar.

The years go by, and I keep trying one Linux desktop distro after the other. But for more than a decade now, I come back to Linux Mint. It's simple: Year in and year out, Mint remains the best, easiest-to-use Linux desktop. Mint has become the very best example of what a Linux desktop should be: fast, easy, pleasing to the eye, useful and productive.
Others, still, see Mint as the ideal desktop for Windows refugees, or those who are trying out Linux for the first time, and want an operating system that essentially works 'out of the box'. Linux Mint's latest release will have an exceptionally wide appeal. Anyone looking for an incredibly stable, robust, fast, clean, and user-friendly desktop operating system could do a whole lot worse. There's a good reason for that popularity: Linux Mint just works.
It isn't "changing the desktop computer paradigm," or "innovating" in "groundbreaking" ways. The team behind Mint is just building a desktop operating system that looks and functions a lot like every other desktop operating system you've used, which is to say you'll be immediately comfortable and stop thinking about your desktop and start using it to do actual work. Exploring the bevy of Linux distributions out there is a fun part of the hobby, but for your first installation, you will likely want something popular and beginner-friendly, so it's easy to get help when you need it.
That's why I recommend starting with Linux Mint. Linux Mint has again shown why it deserves to stay among the best Linux distribution for beginners.
