-
The Linux Mint team have announced the release of a new development snapshot, Linux Mint 21.3 Beta. The new beta release introduces some changes to the way the distribution boots, in particular offering support for Secure Boot.
"Linux Mint 21.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2027. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable.
Linux Mint 21.3 comes with full support for SecureBoot and compatibility with a wider variety of BIOS and EFI implementations. GRUB is used in EFI mode. Isolinux/syslinux is used in BIOS mode. The tools and framework used by Linux Mint to produce its ISO images were updated and are now based on the latest version of live-build. The team also drastically reduced the internal differences between LMDE and Linux Mint ISO images." Additional details can be found in the project’s release announcement and in the release notes.
