Linux Mint 22 to ship HWE kernel and PipeWire |
 |
The Linux Mint team is planning to ship version 22 of their distribution with Ubuntu's hardware enablement kernel as the default kernel rather than an older long-term support version of Linux. "To prioritize stability our 21.x releases shipped with Ubuntu LTS kernels (5.15). EDGE ISOs were made available, with HWE kernels, to bring support for new hardware. Ubuntu 22.04.x releases used HWE kernels, and version 24.04 is set to use kernel 6.8. During the last two years we didn’t observe significant differences in terms of stability between LTS and HWE series. Both were pretty stable. A growing number of users with new laptops/chipsets relied on EDGE images to be able to install Linux Mint though. Linux Mint 22 will follow Ubuntu going forward and ship with new kernel series release after release." The project's March newsletter also mentioned PipeWire will be the default sound server in Linux Mint 22. |
