Mint experiments with update notifications |
|
The Linux Mint team published some findings in February which showed that many Mint users were not applying available security updates, despite the distribution displaying an update icon in the system tray. The developers have gathered feedback from their community and are experimenting with ways to help keep Linux Mint machines up to date. "By default the Update Manager shows a notification if a particular update has been available for more than 7 logged-in days or if it's older than 15 calendar days. These values can be configured all the way down to 2 days (for people who want more notifications) or all the way up to 90 days (for people who want less). By default the Update Manager also only counts security and kernel updates as being relevant for notifications but you can change that." Further details on the new update notification can be found in the project's blog post. |
