The Linux Mint Blog

Hi everyone,

Before we start with the news, I’d like to thank all the people who donate, sponsor and contribute in various ways to our project. Many thanks to all of you!

Note: The features which are previewed in this post are planned for upcoming releases. They are not available right now.

Searching for files in Nemo

The Nemo file manager was improved.

Its search functionality was enhanced. A new filter was added to find files using regular expressions matching their filenames.

Cinnamon in Wayland

We’re working on adding support for keyboard layouts and input methods to Cinnamon in Wayland.

Will this be included in the next release? Hopefully.

It’s functional but it’s not fully ready yet. Although it’s great news for Wayland compatibility, it can impact toolkit compatibility and input methods for Asian languages. We need a little bit more time to finalize it and properly test it.

OEM Support in LMDE

LMDE 7, which will be based on the next version of Debian Stable, will come with full support for OEM installations.

Thanks to OEM installs, Linux Mint can be pre-installed on computers which are sold throughout the World. It’s a very important feature and it’s one of the very few remaining things which wasn’t supported by LMDE.

OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturers”. It’s used to refer not only to manufacturers but to any company big or small which sells computers. This feature is also used by individuals who either donate or sell their computers.

When you prepare a computer to be sold, you don’t know its future user. You can’t select the username or the password. Big companies might not even know the user’s language, timezone or keyboard layout. So this feature allows the system to be pre-installed on the computer, without selecting user details.

These details are later asked to the user via a first-run wizard when the computer is turned on.

CJS

We’re changing how we handle version numbers for the JavaScript engine that powers the Cinnamon desktop.

Previously, our JavaScript interpreter (CJS) shared the same version number as the Cinnamon desktop environment and was only updated when Cinnamon itself was updated.

Moving forward, CJS will be versioned according to the Mozilla JavaScript engine it uses, and we’ll update it independently from Cinnamon. This means:

• Updates can happen more frequently and efficiently
• New JavaScript engine improvements can be added without waiting for a full Cinnamon release
• The desktop environment can work with multiple versions of the JavaScript engine

This change will especially benefit Linux distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, making it easier for them to ship Cinnamon without having to maintain multiple versions of the Mozilla JavaScript engine.

Hi everyone,

Many thanks for your donations and support.

Here are the news for this month.

Important Firefox Update

On March 14, 2025, a root certificate used by Firefox will expire.

When this happen, Firefox version 128 (and lower) will suffer significant issues related to:

• configuration
• add-ons
• signed content
• DRM-protected media playback

To avoid these problems, make sure you’re up to date in your Update Manager. Press Refresh and apply all updates.

This is important for security reasons, and in this case it’s also important to avoid regressions.

Firefox 135.0.1 is available on all supported Linux Mint releases.

Firefox 135.0.1 was also sent as an emergency update to the following discontinued releases:

• Linux Mint 19.3, 19.2, 19.1 and 19
• LMDE 5
• LMDE 4

If you are using a discontinued version of Linux Mint (20 or older) or LMDE (5 or older) please upgrade or reinstall Linux Mint.

For more information on upgrades read https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/upgrade.html.

Website Maintenance

The backend for the main Linux Mint website was completely rewritten and containerized. This allowed us to minimize the interactions between the site and the hosting server, making it easier to upgrade the server and maintain/develop the website on different computers.

Sometimes we make a tiny little change and everybody loves it. This time it’s the opposite. It took a lot of time to get this done, yet nobody will be able to tell the difference.

The URLs were kept unchanged to avoid 404 errors.

Stripe was integrated and is now fully supported. Donations made with Stripe are now automatically handled and included in our stats.

Cinnamon App Menu

Work started on a redesign of the Cinnamon application menu.

This project is led by Joseph in our development team.

Here’s a preview of what it currently looks like:

Desktop and Release Stats

Our Datadog stats show us the following breakdown for our different desktops:

Note that these stats reflect downloads over the last 7 days, not usage.

Cinnamon represents 60% of our downloads, followed by Xfce and MATE at roughly 20% each.

The following chart gives us a breakdown per release:

Linux Mint 22.1 represents 70%, followed by LMDE 6 at 14%, Mint 22 at 8% and Mint 21.3, still relevant also at around 8%.

As previously announced, Linux Mint 22.x will not have an EDGE release. Starting with Linux Mint 22.2, the HWE kernel will be used.

Hi everyone,

We received donations from 852 people in December, for an all-time monthly record of $31,720!

Every time this number goes up I think of it the same way. I imagine that many people in one big room, all there just for us. Imagine it for a moment. It’s huge, not only in terms of support but in terms of validation and motivation for the entire team.

December celebrates the holidays, the end of the year and a new Linux Mint release. We get more donations in December than in any other month. It’s never been that high before though.

We see a compliment here and a sign that you really enjoyed our work. I’d like to thank you for this gift and for this message. Many many thanks for doing this for us!
