Congratulations to all involved.

MATE 19 is pretty sweet. So is Xfce 19 though it still has the clock disappearing bug I mentioned on the blog. But both have better ram use now than when I tried the betas, and suspend works properly on Xfce, something I was concerned about with the beta. I only tested Cinnamon for a short while early on, and it was the most solid of the betas then, so I imagine it's pretty nice as well now.gm10 wrote: ⤴Fri Jun 29, 2018 9:37 am Seems we're officially official now: page https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php

Not quite - looks like there is also a tiny bit of clean-up to do.....instructions appear to be the same for all Beta desktops...smgordon1259 wrote: ⤴Thu Jun 28, 2018 6:57 pm is the migration from beta to stable release seamless? just done through updates?

Trying to install xserver-xorg-input gives the following error: E: Unable to locate package xserver-xorg-input
PS: My mistake - on the blog page the code has auto-hidden scroll bar, so I've missed "synaptics".

Re: Monthly News – June 2018
I cannot express my gratitude for all of you that make this happen nearly adequately. I will donate again as soon as I am able. What, you, Clem and everyone bring to the table with all of this is such a blessing.
I will wait to upgrade/update once the instructions for going from 18.3 becomes available. This past year or so of living in the Linux/Mint universe has been so great, I don't know if I will ever miss that Redmond product (I don't want to seem unkind to them, but still), my life improved when moving to this ecosphere.

I've been using Mint for over 4 years, but I'm still a slow learner. I have a website: https://pickfetish.com. It is dedicated to guitar/instrument picks.
