"There are various small fit-and-finish enhancements too, including a new app to configure fingerprint recognition, if your machine has a fingerprint scanner. The Hypnotix IPTV player has been improved, and there are companion apps for iOS and Android for two of the Mint built-in accessories (although, oddly, not the same two). The Update Manager will now display a "Reboot" button if any of the updates require you to restart your PC."
"So this means that Mint 22.2 is still based on Ubuntu 24.04, but this version comes with kernel 6.14 and all the associated updates to the kernel and graphics drivers that have been issued in 24.10 and 25.04. This in turn means that the Mint Edge editions, whose announcement we covered in August 2023 and which we tried that October, are no longer separate. In essence, the updates in the Edge edition of Mint 21 are now rolled into the normal point releases of Mint 22."
Linux Mint 22.2 is a point release that replaces 22.1 and updates the Cinnamon desktop while keeping Wayland support experimental. Xfce editions continue to ship Xfce 4.18 as in the Ubuntu Noble repositories. Small usability improvements include a fingerprint configuration app, Hypnotix IPTV player enhancements, and companion iOS/Android apps for built-in accessories. The Update Manager will show a Reboot button when updates require a restart. The release is based on Ubuntu 24.04.3 and adopts Ubuntu's Hardware Enablement updates, bringing kernel 6.14 and newer graphics and driver updates into standard point releases.
