Fancy some fresh Linux Mint? 21.1 enters beta, should be here by Christmas

As has been the case since 2014, Mint releases are based on the LTS versions of its upstream parent Ubuntu. Since Mint 17, the project stopped building versions based on Ubuntu's short-term releases. So Mint 21.1 is still based on the current Ubuntu LTS: that's now 22.04.1. This isn't a big change, so you shouldn't expect it to be majorly different from version 21, which.

This looks and works much like the analogous function on the end of the Windows 7 taskbar. Being in the corner, it's easier to hit. Unlike in Windows, it can be customized with a right-click, and you can drop files onto it to place them directly onto the desktop. The Nemo file manager has new, more colorful icons, and no longer highlights files' icons when they're selected, only their names.
