Mint team plans features for LMDE4 |
|
The Linux Mint team is currently looking forward to releasing new versions of the project's Debian- and Ubuntu-based editions. The fourth version of the Debian branch will be released first and contains many improvements and bug fixes. Some of the key points deal with Btrfs support and NVIDIA video drivers. "LMDE 4 will be released first. It will feature all the improvements we shipped with Linux Mint 19.3 (HDT, boot-repair, system reports, language settings, HiDPI and artwork improvements, new boot menus, Celluloid, Gnote, Drawing, Cinnamon 4.4, XApp status icons etc) on top of an improved Debian 10 package base. Some of the features which were missing in LMDE 3 were also ported from Linux Mint. The installer was given a better look and the same slideshow as in ubiquity: It also now supports Btrfs submodules and home directory encryption. Like every new release, LMDE 4 is an opportunity to try new things. We've had issues with Nouveau (the open-source driver) compatibility on some NVIDIA cards for a while now. In most cases people had to use nomodeset, but when Nouveau didn't recognize the chipset at all, they were left with no graphical display. In LMDE 4 we're adding a new entry in the boot menu which installs the NVIDIA drivers on the fly, so both the live session and the installed OS work out of the box." More information on the upcoming releases can be found in the distribution's newsletter. |
