Linux Mint 20.3

Ok so it uses the 5.15 kernel, does it remove the old 3gntfs driver?

[busdriver12]

where is stable release?;-)

Once the bugs are squashed as via the link xenopeek provided.

As far as I'm concerned, it drops when it drops. Considering the amount of work going on behind the scenes, I think a little patience is required.

According to this link there are no open issues so release must not be far off.

According to the community page the ISO's are being tested. Should be approve shortly if no more bugs are found.

I updated 20.2 to 20.3 Beta and it works like a charm. Mint never been better.

[ne0h]

me too a week ago, and I have not encountered any problems. but ... we are still waiting for the final version.
(then work on LMDE5 will start I hope!)

Mr Clement Lefebvre deserves a Nobel prize. PERIOD. Prove me wrong.

Linux Mint 20.3 (Una) for XFCE, Mate and Cinnamon has been approved for stable release according to the link below so it should show up soon.

[ne0h]

good to know!!!!

[chiefjim]

I see the repositories are now being populated with 20.3 stable. Looks like Cinnamon is up, waiting for Mate.

Suggested approach: wait for Clem's official announcement that Linux Mint 20.3 (Cinnamon, xfce, Mate) have been released.
Cf. Clem's most recent blog post: Happy New Year 2022!, which actually is about the upcoming release.

will be a great release. The beta is absolutely fantastic yet!

I read on many sites that it came out. but it does not come out in the updates!

[MurphCID]

Makes me look forward to it even more.

Bad sites?

As always, the release isn't done until it is announced on https://blog.linuxmint.com/. A last minute discovered issue can make the team pull the pending release and need a new ISO. It has happened before. The announcement will include need to know information such as what's new + known issues and workarounds. When the upgrade path from 20.2 opens it will also be announced on the blog (and IIRC a notice in Update Manager itself).

[ne0h]

yeah, probably bad sites;-)
thank you for the explanation, xenopeek!

Even OMG Ubuntu says you can upgrade to 20.3. Weird.
Always thought it was a reliable site. He even has screenshots

He probably grabbed the 20.3 mintupdate from the repo. I wouldn't try this. Wait for the proper upgrade when it's ready.
