Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
Do you mean, the LMDE 3 beta will be ‘‘a year or more’’?
Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
Clem said a month or two back that there's no current timescale for LMDE3 and as soon as there is it will be announced. Anything beyond that is just speculation.
Re: [URGENT] When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
I do not understand the Mint versions of LMDE. By definition, a rolling release has no versions. Arch puts out a new ISO every month for new installations, snapshots not versions.JosephM wrote:That's not happening.Not very likely to be named LMDE 3 for the next release, and instead will be come back to true versionless like Tumbleweed, Arch, Gentoo etc.

LMDE is not a rolling release, and has not been even simi-rolling for several years.dcrowder wrote:I do not understand the Mint versions of LMDE. By definition, a rolling release has no versions.

Debian is staged... LMDE uses it as base... When the foundation changes LMDE needs to change with it or go independent.
Mint did actually issue a new LMDE2 ISO recently, but updated original would be the same... it makes that initial update easier.

Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
My bad. I did not realize that. According to wikipedia, LMDE1 was semi-rolling release via "release Packs". LMDE2 is not. I ran LMDE1 for a bit back in the day and thought LMDE is still rolling. I guess the main difference from regular Mint is being straight from Debian rather than Ubuntu.

Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
Is LMDE still being actively developed?
It's a couple of years since the last proper upgrade.

Already been answered, to the greatest level of detail you will find anywhere, right here in this thread. Asking again won't change the answer.axisofevil wrote:Is LMDE still being actively developed?

Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
Within MintBean’s unchanged answer to one, Buster has been these days gone to its alpha 1, and will LMDE 3 be ready to be codebased after the Buster stablilzation a few months ago from now?

Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
LMDE3 will NOT use Buster. Asking again and again won't change the answer. LMDE is based on Debian Stable.

Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
there are options for users--
if you feel comfortable adjusting and tinkering in Linux -- you might,-- (a) load a regular dist. and then install a kernel of your preference, or (b) go straight Debian
someplace around here i have the links to get Straight Debian,--
I'm running Straight Debian now; it works just fine. my suggestion: stuff another HD in yer box; try it!!
The Cadre here though have specific objectives in mind -- and they do a super job !!

Re: When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
It needs to be unchanged to me whether my base installation is Debian OR Linux Mint, the base repo of Debian have an importance to me, which I can also append Qubes, Subgraph, VyOS into my Linux Mint (LMDE), I have also appended the kernel-libre like one built into gNewSense and Trisquel.

Re: [URGENT] When is Linux Mint Stretch/Betsy out?
I too would like to see this. A pure rolling release.Not very likely to be named LMDE 3 for the next release, and instead will be come back to true versionless like Tumbleweed, Arch, Gentoo etc.
