Wonderful stuff - I found it on a US mirror a couple of days back, had a problem with Cinnamon running in software rendering mode on my old SIS graphics laptop which cured for installing Mate. Completed the migration, a few tweaks to make it more familiar and it's as smooth as LMDE2 which is high praise indeed because that was excellent. Many thanks team...

Dear Clem,
Dear Linux Mint Team / Cinnamon Team,

I would hereby thank you all and congratulate you for the wonderful, nice work you did for LMDE 3 Cindy.
It works smoothly, nicely AND I appreciate a lot the fact that 'eventually' newer software, such as f.i. newer libreoffice, can be installed through Flatpak !
This among some added Mint Tools (Software Manager, Software Updater, Timeshift, usage of Flatpak) is a great plus !

Best regards and greetings from Belgium,
Jean Paul BERES

The upgrade to Cindy went pretty well. I am wondering if you could suggest answers or pointers to answers for two questions:
  1. what prevents LMDE from "rolling" more? E.g., what features require an "upgrade" vs. a series of "updates"?
  2. how can I find out about future upgrades? Specifically, I found out about LMDE 3 when the Update Manager started failing to find repositories because LMDE 2 was being obsolesced.
Regarding #2, Is there an email list or other form of push notification that would have let me know back in August that LMDE 3 was available? Or do I have to poke the forums or blogs on a monthly basis?

Thanks for a wonderful effort!

@ HighFive,

Thanks for the hint. Ironically, I had subscribed to this topic but have not seen any email. Hmm.

quote from Clem,
We can’t commit to a particular support deadline for LMDE 3 as we can’t predict the release of LMDE 4.
