Linux Mint 22 BETA is out based on the most recent Ubuntu LTS 24.04.

Important Changes:

Linux Mint currently ships with the Linux 6.8 kernel. More importantly, Mint will now follow Ubuntu's Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel series so Mint can work on the latest machines. This also removes the confusion of the "Edge ISO" as this affects all Mint 22 users.
Linux Mint uses Pipewire as its audio stack.
The Linux Mint team along with other communities in the "we forked off of GNOME when it became GNOME 3" have started the Xapp project which plans to continue GTK desktop app development sans libadwaita and GNOME specific technologies.
Mint now uses Matrix for community coordination and includes the Element webapp client preinstalled.
Cinnamon 6.2 and various UX improvements.
