Linux MintRather, its leader, Clem Lefebvre, has published the November update for his project, which covers the events of October. It provides interesting information, starting with several tools for displaying data. The system's reporting app now has several new features and has been renamed to System information (Header screenshot). In addition to the name change, there are other useful pages for finding information.
The tool also includes information pages, system reports, and accident reports. It has combined four other pages to show more information. and help troubleshoot common problems. The USB page displays a detailed view of all connected devices. There you can see the type, name, and ID. Devices are grouped by USB controller, so you can see where each device is connected and compare its connection speed and power usage.
Other improvements coming to Linux Mint
La GPU page It displays information about the default graphics card and its hardware acceleration support. The PCI page provides a detailed view of the computer's internal components. The BIOS page contains information about the motherboard, BIOS version, boot mode, and secure boot.
On the other hand, there's a new app on the way called "System Administration." It has a very similar interface to System Information, but this one focuses on administration. Right now, it only has one page, which is the Boot Menu.
The rest of the note mentions things like the fact that the work on the Cinnamon home menuwhich will be released in just under two months. Configuration options have been added to allow moving the search bar to the bottom and the login buttons to the left. To see images of all this, we recommend visiting the Clem's article.
They remind us that LMDE 6 will reach the end of its lifecycle, at least for Mint, in January 2026, so it's a good time to update the operating system. And finally, they've created an application called XSI that replaces the Adwaita icons with improved ones.
All of this will be available in the next version of Linux Mint, which will arrive in late 2025 or early 2026.
