News
The Cinnamon and MATE editions of Linux Mint 18 will be announced this week. They successfully passed QA (quality testing) yesterday and they’re on their way towards a stable release.
I’d like to thank all the people who participated in testing the BETA. Your feedback helped us a lot: 1229 comments were processed, 64 bugs were fixed, boot speed was improved and new ideas were gathered for Linux Mint 18.1.
Many thanks also to all the people who fund Linux Mint. We received 419 donations in May. Your help is very important to us and we’ve very proud to have your support.
Finally I’d like to thank the development team for their efforts both during the cycle and the BETA phase, and the moderation team for their diligence on the forums and the IRC.
I hope you’ll have a great time with Linux Mint 18, see you after the release
