The Linux Mint project published its newest monthly status report to outline various interesting development activities around this Linux desktop distribution project building off Ubuntu and Debian bases.
Linux Mint developers continue working on libAdapta, which is their fork of GNOME’s upstream libAdwaita. LibAdapta provides theme support and other features not accepted into upstream libAdwaita.
Another big undertaking is Linux Mint developers working on a new app called Fingwit that they will be using for fingerprint authentication. Beginning in Linux Mint 22.2 there will be Fingwit for fingerprint authentication support on the distribution. Their Fingwit tool allows for configuring your fingerprint reader and enabling authentication for the login screen, screensaver, sudo commands, and other admin apps.
