The updates for these packages do not come from the Mint repo… the Mint repo does not include those packages. If you check the version of any of them, they will contain the Ubuntu version numbers and metadata, not that of Mint.
DESKLETS FOR LINUX MINT 18 ISO
iso are straight Ubuntu packages, drawn from the Ubuntu repo and untouched by Mint developers. Most of the packages that ship on the Mint. Ubuntu does by far most of the heavy lifting. Mint developers work on Cinnamon and some Mint applications, but otherwise their work consists of packaging that stuff on top of Ubuntu. The Linux-signed-image that is necessary for secure boot to work, for example, has an Ubuntu signature, not a Mint signature. If they should happen to find a bug in an upstream package (one that comes from Ubuntu directly), they can report that bug to Ubuntu and work with them to get it fixed, or if that fails, they could fix it themselves and add that package to their own repo, but that seldom happens.Ī given Mint version uses exactly the same kernel and other base packages as the Ubuntu version it is based upon.
DESKLETS FOR LINUX MINT 18 SOFTWARE
Mint tests their own software and configurations on the Ubuntu kernel that is (or will be) used by a given Mint release, but the intent is to find bugs in their own packages. Mint devs don’t do testing of kernels… that’s handled by Ubuntu.
My older Intel Ivy Bridge/earlier generation laptops are doing fine with Kernel 5.4 as those laptops features where pretty much filled out years ago but still get updates to this day under Linux/Linux Mint!Īnd the Mint Maintainers do vet their Edge ISO Kernels for stability with all the Mint DEs and other software that ships with the Mint ISO!
DESKLETS FOR LINUX MINT 18 PC
I’m always looking at the Mint Edge ISOs on My AMD Ryzen APU based PC and Laptop as AMD’s still plumbing in support for features that are needed on the 3000G/3000H series Ryzen APUs on my Mini PC and Asus Tuf laptop. So that Mint 20.1/Kernel 5.8 Edge ISO is burned onto a USB Thumb Drive for that ASUS Tuf Laptop’s emergency repair Live ISO and Kernel 5.8 is later than Kernel 5.6 and thus includes the fan driver/fan profile fix for that ASUS Tuf laptop.

But When I got that Mint 20.1 ‘Edge” ISO that’s for my Linix Mint 20.1 “Edge” Live ISO that shipped with the Kerne 5.8(HWE) and really any 5.4 kernel, at that time, would see My Asus TUF laptop overheat and throttle as that laptop needed a newer Linux Kernel(5.6) for an Included Kernel patch so the ASUS Tuf Laptop’s fans would ramp properly under load! No I was initially running from the Mint 20.1 Edge ISO that shipped form the Mint maintainers website that’s since been updated to Kernel 5.11 by me on may laptop/PC. It’s just my newer AMD Ryzen APU based hardware that’s getting the HWE Kernels as that’s still getting some features enabled and supported in the Kernel so I’m more than Likely to be keeping the Latest Mint Edition on the newer hardware rather than hardware that’s as old as 10+ years since release and will not likely need any significant feature support other than bug/security fixes and some minor API Updates! I’m still on Linux Mint 20.0 on my older Intel Core i series laptops that are Ivy Bridge/Sandy Bridge and one First generation Intel core i series based laptop that will probably do fine on Kernel 5.4 until 2025 anyway. But I’m never one to move right away to any new Mint “Point” release before that’s been out for a few months just so see if any regressions or bugs show up there.
I’m also running a Ryzen 3400G Based Mini Desktop PC that’s running fine so far with Linux Kernel 5.11. But I’m waiting to see if there will be a Mint Cinnamon “Edge” ISO with Kernel 5.11 as that’s a little newer there for that AMD Ryzen APU Hardware that’s getting more features supported with the Newer Linux Kernels. So when Linux Mint 20.1 was released there was a vetted HWE Kernel 5.8 “Edge” ISO offered by the Mint Maintainers and I had been using that but have since updated my Kernel to 5.11 and have had no issues that I have noticed there. I’ll have to wait for the Mint 20.2 HWE Kernel vetting and see what Kernel will be used there as Kernel 5.4 is just not going to work out well for My Ryzen 5 3550H APU based Laptop that has to have Kernel 5.6 or later to operate it’s cooling fans properly.
