Upgrading to LM21.3 Virginia

[testingthemint22]

I've upgraded to 21.3 from 21.2 via the upgrade built into the OS. Seamless process and most of all, I notice the significant performance improvement versus 21.2. Great work Linux mint team. I'm hugely impressed.

[SMG]

Is anyone else not able to update Update Manager, despite it saying there's a new version?
...
It's happening for me with two LM 21.2 systems (laptop and desktop).

Maybe it's still too early to try?

Please make sure you are following the How to upgrade to Linux Mint 21.3 instructions and running all updates before you try upgrading.

I upgraded on the two laptops, and you know what? I cannot tell the difference between 21.2 and 21.3 which to me, is a great thing! I also cannot tell the difference between Cinnamon 5.8 and 6.0, which also, to me, is wonderful. I like the stability, predictability, and just the level of care and work which has gone into Mint. Home run guys, just a home run!

Same here!

4 devices updated without any hitches to speak of. All of them were done via System Reports which sensed something that needed my attention.
Congratz to all involved.

Updated both of my computers from 21.2 to 21.3 with no problems on either!

Thanks clem

I tried on the Galago last night, and it would not load the iso the first time, so I re-burned the drive, then it kept crashing on the multimedia codecs part of the installation. So the Galago will stay on POP!_OS for now. The other two systems are running great, I had to restart TLP but other than that just rock solid as always.

it was almost a non-event, except that I forgot to turn off the power down management, moved the mouse, and it continued on to finish


Kernel: 5.15.0-91-generic x86_64 bits: 64
Desktop: Cinnamon 6.0.4 Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia

y'all do make a Timeshift first, right?

No, my strategy is to have a burned USB key drive ISO of both the most current version of Mint and also the previous one and
my SSD backup of all of my /home info, just in case. Sort of the same thing but I prefer my method.

21.2-->21.3 + upgrade to Cinnamon 6 on LMDE the most uneventful / quietest upgrades. Good job, Mint.

ah,
but your backups do not contain your preferences....
mine does.
everything is Exactly like it was, the desktop appearance/layout;
shortcuts, and more.

[wpshooter]

No big deal to reset the preferences, keeps your mind sharp, I like automation but not TOO much.

Is it just me or Mint-Y icons looks more crisp now?

I had to go back and look, you are right, they are Crisper, and they now show a Tab in the upper left hand corner. ( folders )

Good Afternoon All,
I am broadcasting to you live via LM21.3 Cinnamon update for a Dell E6440, it was easy to update to the new version from 21.2. Works well.

[Midnight True]

Thanks for the confirmation

And Thank you again for Clem and Team for another wonderful work

[trike lady]

Thank you to all the good people who make Linux Mint.
Yes, it does look sharper on a 14" screen and normally I'm not thrilled with a smaller screen.
I also like the new pointer it's not an arrow, just the point and is more eye pleasing.

[pegasis]

upgrade worked perfectly, but now clonezilla resolution is wonkers

resolution on monitor changes on boot to usb??

[pegasis]

upgrade was fine, but clonezilla on boot to usb resolution is no longer readable?

Low stress, low effort, uneventful upgrade here. Haven't used it enough to be completely certain but so far all is well. KDE Connect is working. Have a libreoffice jammy PPA and my libreoffice 7.6.4.1 is working fine. Didn't touch any of that before the upgrade and nothing appears to have been hurt by it.

There is part of me that is just a little angry and I would be very angry had I not so fully moved on. I remember when I used to look forward to the latest MacOS upgrade. After waiting a few days and monitoring the chat, like I did here, I would have a low stress low effort upgrade experience. Went through many years after that where I would put off the upgrade as long as possible and only do it when it became necessary. The fact that a small team can make the user expereience so much better than the worlds largest corporation kind of makes me angry. The big guys certainly are capable. I remember when they did indeed produce a quality product that respected their end users. From my perspective it seems like all they do these days is acquire larger and larger shares of resources.
