Many Debian-based distributions, including Linux Mint, use Ubuntu As their starting point. Latest version – 21.2 Victoria – based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and will continue to support until 2027. This means it currently uses a 5.15 LTS kernel, but cinnamon Edge using 6.2 is aptly called 21.2 Cinnamon Edge, which can use 6.2.

As many Ubuntu derivatives used by Ubuntu itself stick to it with Gnome Display Manager, Mint’s default value is cinnamon. This started as a branch from when Gnome 2 was released. Version 3 is the first to abandon support for panels (the taskbar in Windows carlance) in favor of a pure shell that is also downgraded to widgets and discards the desktop icon. Cinnamon places all of this front and center, which is one of the reasons it is often considered an ideal release for anyone who switches from a window. It also has Windows-like menus, with applications classified into categories, while basic tools such as browsers and settings can be viewed on the side. You can pin the most used applications to the panel so they will never click.
