Dear Clem,
I wrote as a comment at November newsletter, commenting that
"I could not install Cinnamon 19.0, as I signaled in the forum, because good drivers for my Nvidia GTX 1060 were not available. Thus, I am now with Debian Cinnamon 9.6 and Kernel 4.18.0. The computer (a Santech C67, equal to Clevo N860EP6) works but without optimizing the double video card structure (it has an Intel UHD 630 too) and the movies go jerkily. Do you think that 19.1 will solve the problem? Is it possible to load nVidia drivers? In Debian I didn’t succeed."

You answered me prompting for more details: here they go:
The start of the image of Tanja worked and the installation too (but the restart had to be stopped because it got hanged). Then the boot from the hard disk remained hanged. In fact, there were three drivers missing: video, audio, and wifi. I asked for help in the forum, but I did not receive any.
You may find all the details at the url:

Eventually, after many attempts, I succeeded installing Debian 9.6 with Cinnamon, but yet I have problems with the video card (the movie is jerky) and the shut down freezes before shutting.
Tell me how to communicate directly, thanks for helping me. Consider that I may communicate in French too (even better!)
Kind regards
Sergio Camiz

Hi! I mean to buy this exact graphics card (3gb). Is this going to be an issue? I use Linux Mint 19 Mate 64-bit.

This section of the forum is Releases & Announcements, not for support.

The 19.1 beta runs great, I haven't run into any bugs. I had problems with 19, so I went back to 18.3.
I just want to know when 19.1 will be released. It's a release I'll be able to run for some time.
Fantastic work on this one, thank you.

Hello! I currently use Linux Mint 19.0, but i want to try 19.1. Anyone know how to upgrade from 19.0 to 19.1 via terminal commands?

[JerryF]

Search for a post by member Pjotr. He has instructions on how to do that.

Thanks a lot, JerryF! Already install

Yep. I've been using 19 since it came out and never encountered any type of issue. I've been using Mint since january 2018 and nowadays it's actually painful to go into my Windows partition when I ultimately need to. Thanks to the Mint team and Merry Christmas.

What is the best guess time frame for the final release?

What is the best guess time frame for the final release?

In the next couple of days. The final iso's (presumably final; last-minute critical fixes might be unavoidable, which would mean new iso's) have already been uploaded to the mirror servers worldwide.

My guess: the official announcement will almost certainly happen before Christmas. I think next Friday is likely....
