Hi jay69.

The only reliable place to get updates on LMDE6 is from the blog. Please see here https://blog.linuxmint.com/

Hello again.
I found the 21.2 Beta but not the LMDE 6.
Still, i am not looking for a Beta version, i want the stable edition.
That is why i want to know when it is scheduled to be released.
Thanks for letting me know if you know the date.
Have a good day

That is why i want to know when it is scheduled to be released.

Linux Mint versions do not release on a schedule. They release when the developers consider them ready for release.

You were already given the correct advice to follow the blog to learn when LMDE 6 will become available.

Ok thanks for the reply.
Anyways LMDE 5 works wonderfuly so i will just wait until the version 6 is available.
I hope that it will still support the 32 bit configuration because i have an old Lenovo thinkpad T60 laptop running with it.

Have a good day

The recently published release notes for LMDE 6 (beta version) spoke about a 32-bit PAE kernel availibility, https://linuxmint.com/rel_faye.php, thus I would assume, if nothing goes wrong, this should be also available in stable.

That is super, thanks for the info.
I heared that the debian deposit was attacked with alot of malware.
Do you think that this will affect the LMDE versions of Mint since it is based on debian?

Have a good day

What's a deposit?

[jayr69]

Hello.
Well i heared it at work from our computer technicien.
By deposit, sorry, wrong term.
I ment repertory.
I am french you know so sometimes i will make mistakes, lol.
Have a good day and let me know if you think that this may affect the LMDE version of Mint.

I have good news.
Linux Mint's stable version of LMDE 6 is out today and is also available in the 32 bit version for those much older computers that don't support 64 bit.
Thanks again to the Mint team for the amaizing OS that they are providing for us and all of that for free.
For all of you people out there that have a computer that doesn't support the new windows 11, do not throw away your machine once the support of windows 10 ends on October 14th 2025, you should instead concidere installing Linux Mint LMDE or the Ubuntu based LTS when the time comes and get used to the open source software that is offered to you for free and that will allow you to do all that you are doing right now with the software that you paid for.
Have a good day everybody
