I have the bumblebee drivers installed, but I’m not confident they are working in the power saving profile. Prior to installing Mint, I could expect 9-11 hours of battery with the Bumblebee drivers.
There will be a visible install Linux Mint icon at the top left corner. This will take you to the XFCE desktop where you will be able to continue the installation process. I have a Thinkpad T430 with the 9-cell battery. Once you’ve configured your USB as instructed above, insert the USB device into your host system and select Start Linux Mint. But now there is another issue: battery life seems miserable compared to what I was getting with Ubuntu. Once logged in, it suspends and resumes properly, but not while sitting on MDM.
My laptop won’t suspend if I close the lid while at the MDM login prompt. In Ubuntu, I could replicate my launcher on all displays and even had indicators showing me the count of windows on that display and overall. There are options everywhere I look and I love that. I like the overall level of customization. But I do plan to share what worked and what didn’t. There are plenty of screenshot reviews, so don’t come looking for one of those here. I’ll probably stick with it through April and really kick the tires. I tried MATE about 2 months ago and liked it well enough, but still found I missed Ubuntu. I decided to give Linux Mint 16 Cinnamon a try. Christmas is my favorite time to do this. It makes it easier to recognize and find what you’re looking for and is also aesthetically better than a question mark of a sort.Every now and then I decide to wander off the Ubuntu reservation and look at other distros. With the file manager, it looks good to have thumbnails for all kinds of file types. However, with Ubuntu 22.04 as the base, you can expect core upgrades to the experience.Īnother enhancement that adds to the user experience of Linux Mint 21 is the support for thumbnails with file types including WebP, AppImage, ePub, MP3, and RAW pictures. No special under-the-hood refinements have been mentioned for those editions. Rounded corners for windows look crispier.įor other editions, you will find MATE 1.26, and Xfce 4.16 with the upgrade.Not just limited to technical upgrades, you can notice some visual updates that include: This should also translate to better performance and new features down the line. With Cinnamon 5.4, Muffin’s codebase is much closer to the upstream. While there were several changes with Mutter, it took time to bring in the same features and optimizations to Muffin. Linux Mint 21 includes some big under-the-hood refinements, especially, for the Cinnamon edition.Ĭinnamon 5.4 features a major rebase of its window manager Muffin, based on Mutter 3.36.
