Linux Mint 22.2 is officially out today as the newest version of this popular desktop Linux distribution built atop an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package base.
Linux Mint 22.2 enables more of its own apps to now work correctly under Wayland, brings a number of UI and artwork enhancements, improves compatibility with libadwaita, and more. Linux Mint 22.2 also introduces Fingwit as its new app for dealing with fingerprint authentication on the Linux desktop. There are a lot of cosmetic changes on the UI enhancement side like more rounded corners in apps, polishing the log-in screen, and artwork tweaks.
Linux Mint 22.2 continues to build off Ubuntu 24.04 LTS but has now upgraded to the Linux 6.14 HWE kernel by default.
