According to the official Linux Mint blog, Linux Mint 21 will undergo QA testing this weekend, and the Beta version will be released next week. According to Linux Mint project lead Clement Lefebvre, it was decided not to add it to Linux Mint 21 after receiving some negative feedback about systemd-oomd last month.
Systemd-oomd is a service that monitors memory/swap. When there is high memory usage, it will automatically kill the application process. It has been built into the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS distribution. Because it is too aggressive, it has attracted negative reviews from some users.
Additional content for Linux Mint 21:
- Home directory encryption continues to be available in the installer.
- Keep os-prober enabled by default to support dual-boot detection.
- Webp support was added to xviewer and thumbnails.
- Blueman 2.3 replaces Blueberry.
- In rsync mode, Timeshift will calculate the space required for the next snapshot and skip it if taking the snapshot results in less than 1GB of free space on the disk.
Linux Mint 21 will be based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which was released in April this year, so it will receive five years of update support.
