The Linux Mint
team's monthly newsletter for April included a number of significant
announcements. The newsletter reported that Linux Mint 13 has reached
the end of its supported life cycle. Version 13 of Linux Mint was a
long term support release launched back in 2012 and it received five
years of support. Anyone still using version 13 is encouraged to read
this forum post on upgrading to a newer, supported version of the
distribution.
Mint's newsletter
also mentioned that version 1.18 of the MATE desktop will soon be
available to people running Linux Mint Debian Edition.
Further, the recent
release of the Cinnamon 3.4 desktop will include a number of
stability improvements: "In the upcoming Cinnamon 3.4 the
settings daemon will be split into multiple processes. Each plugin
(i.e. area of responsibility) will run its own process, making it
easy to identify excessive CPU or memory usage and isolating crashes
to only affect a particular plugin without impacting the rest of the
desktop. Similarly, Nemo (the file manager) will be split into two
separate processes.
One for the desktop
icons, which will run in isolation, and one for the file manager
windows." Further details and more changes coming to Mint can be
found in the newsletter
