"Linux Mint 22.3 Zena is a classic point release. There's nothing earth‑shattering in this release, but it boasts polish, quality‑of‑life fixes, and Cinnamon desktop refinements. This update makes Mint, once more, one of the best desktops for people who just want their PC to work. If you liked Mint 22.1 and 22.2, 22.3 feels like the next logical distro you'll want to live in until Mint 22.x is no longer supported in 2029."
"Under the hood, Mint remains boring but good. Linux Mint 22.3 sticks with the Ubuntu 24.04 Long Term Support (LTS) base, updated to 24.04.3. This tech provides a conservative, well‑tested foundation with current hardware support rather than a brand-new Linux distribution. Not, mind you, that there's anything wrong with leading, bleeding-edge Linux distros, such as System76's Pop!OS 24.04 with its brand-spanking new COSMIC desktop."
Linux Mint 22.3 Zena delivers polish, quality-of-life fixes, and notable refinements to the Cinnamon desktop experience. The release remains conservative under the hood by using the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base updated to 24.04.3, offering a well-tested foundation and current hardware support. The shipping kernels include Linux 6.14 plus an optional Hardware Enablement (HWE) stack that brings driver improvements up to Linux 6.18. Updated drivers and an improved NTSYNC driver enhance compatibility and performance for newer Intel and AMD laptops, GPUs, and Wi‑Fi chipsets, and improve Windows-game and application performance under compatibility layers. The Mint team warns of HWE-related issues with VirtualBox and older Nvidia 470-series drivers.
