Linux Mint 22 Wilma is close.

With the beta of Linux Mint 22 Wilma released for testing, I'm looking forward to upgrading to it when it possible.

The new features that Linux Mint 22 Wilma might not be ground breaking, but they are nice improvements to an already solid OS. To be honest, the fact that Linux Mint upgrades bring whats needed and not just the latest software to say they are bleeding edge, is why it has become my go-to OS.

While being at the bleeding edge might be cool, it isn't something that I prioritize or need on my everyday laptop. What it need is an OS that has update software that just works and doesn't get in the way. Linux Mint does this, in quite an elegant way, without having to worry about an upgrade breaking things.

The Linux Mint developers tend to add new technologies when they are mature, or they have no other option, which makes for quite an stable OS with predictable upgrades. That means that I can focus on using my laptop the way I like while just keeping an eye on updates so nothing breaks on my system.

To be honest, Linux Mint is an example that Linux is user-friendly enough to go mainstream. Any one who can use a Windows or a Mac computer, can use a computer using Linux Mint, POP! OS or Ubuntu to give some examples.

Life is good to be a Linux user, and it keeps getting better.
