Great news,

Hope there will be a upgrade within mint from 20 to 20.1 through mintupgrade perhaps which isn't available as package in the repo afaik.

Yay! \o/

Thanks for all the hard work making another release!

Has this improvement been postponed in Linux Mint 20.1?
The clickable region of the titlebar buttons in the Mint-Y theme is still small.

For those whom are interested i managed to upgrade from 20 -> 20.1 without any 'damage' and this was done by changing my apt sources and performing a dist-upgrade as there's no official way i would for now claim that this is a unofficial way of getting there and maintaining all my packages and data.

The official upgrade method will come along with another announcement. Some people interested in upgrading to 20.1 just need to exercise a little more patience

What I'm wondering - how would the conversion to the unified file system layout work from within the system? Wouldn't the system run the risk of barfing if it tries to access something right when switching over?

Could be what they testing and sorting out

I've just run usrmerge on my running LMDE4, nothing broke

[Buffy]

On the ones I updated, it looks like usrmerge makes changes in some queue that gets run either just before or just after the reboot, when other services/programs aren't running.

Or just need to know how linux works anyways, its pretty much the samething i did.

I followed the same path for 19.3 to 20 and 20 to 20.1

How on earth did I ever manage before without Hypnotix and the Baywatch TV Channel? Oh yeah, I got some work done

[Da Londo]

Thank you all for the hard work, another great release.

After some years far away from this OS and working on MacOS (home) and Windows (Office), I have returned to Linux Mint. I am using a MacBookPro 15" from 2.012, and no big problems to work properly. Thanks for your hard work !
