Linux Mint 21.3: Cinnamon 6.0.4 - Full Support For SecureBoot
15In This Video We Are Looking At Linux Mint 21.3 "Virginia" Cinnamon Edition.
Main components
Linux Mint 21.3 features a Linux kernel 5.15 and an Ubuntu 22.04 package base.
LTS strategy
Linux Mint 21.3 will receive security updates until 2027.
Until 2024, future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 21.3, making it trivial for people to upgrade.
Until 2024, the development team won't start working on a new base and will be fully focused on this one.

Cinnamon 6.0
Action Spices
Cinnamon add-ons are called "spices".
Until now Cinnamon supported 4 types of spices:
Applets: Little programs which can be placed in your panel(s)
Desklets: Same thing, but on your desktop
Extensions: Scripts which can alter the way Cinnamon works
Themes: Look and feel for your Cinnamon desktop
Cinnamon 6.0 features a new type of spices: Actions.
Actions, formerly known as "Nemo actions", are add-ons for your file manager's context menu.
Right-click an .iso file and look at the context menu. The “Make bootable USB stick” and “Verify” menu items are Nemo actions, provided by the mintstick package.
Actions are extensions to your file manager's context menu
In Cinnamon 6.0, actions are now a type of spice. You can download, enable and rate them like any other spices: applets, desklets, extensions and Cinnamon themes.
Actions can be downloaded, enabled and rated like any other type of spice
By default, We'll continue to only ship actions which are useful to most people. But the spice ecosystem will provide a wide variety of choice for many use cases.
Wayland
The work started on Wayland. This was identified as one of the major challenges our project had to tackle in the mid to long term.
Cinnamon 6.0 running on Wayland
Wayland isn't expected to replace Xorg as default any time soon, not in 21.3, not in 22.x, but we want to be ready all the same.
Cinnamon 6.0 features experimental Wayland support. In the login screen a new option was added to start Cinnamon on Wayland.
The Wayland session isn't as stable as the default one. It lacks features and it comes with its own limitations.
In terms of timing Wayland support doesn't need to be fully ready (i.e. to be a better Cinnamon option for most people) before 2026 (Mint 23.x). That leaves us 2 years to identify and to fix all the issues. It’s something we’ll continue to work on and improve release after release.
Whenever it happens, assuming it does, we’ll consider switching defaults. We’ll use the best tools to do the job and provide the best experience. Today that means Xorg. Tomorrow it might mean Wayland. Cinnamon and Linux Mint will be ready and compatible with both.
Other Improvements
Cinnamon 6.0 also features many bug fixes, performance improvements and the following changes:
75% scaling is back
Window opacity keybinding is back
Stylus buttons can be disabled
The monitor used for notifications is now configurable
Menu apps can be edited with right click - properties
Gestures: new desktop zoom action
Gestures: You can now specify when an action is triggered.
Sound applet: new shift-middle click action
Grouped window list: new option to not show anything when hovering an app button
Other improvements
In Warpinator it is now possible to connect to another device manually, either by entering its IP address or on mobile, by scanning a QR code.
