3 machines upgraded smoothly. Excited as LMDE 6 is next
Me too!.....cant wait
My Spidey senses are telling me that I’ll be moving towards LMDE 6 in the near future. Ubuntu is just getting too dependent on Snaps and corporate-ish maneuvers. Debian is getting kinder to semi-nerds.
@@takakazushi6703 I get the impression that a lot of people are thinking the same thing. Especially after the RHEL shenanigans 😞
The upgrade was really easy & fast. But I had changed the looks of my desktop a bit outside what Mint provides, so I needed to fix that after the update, a mountain of work! It took about half a minute of clicking my mouse in the Themes dialog to get back the looks I like.
As always great presentation. Tom, can you make a video that shows how to save an entire home directory and subdirectory (structure and data) then reattach it to a new clean load of Mint? I believe you said you sometimes did that as a way to restore your data easily without doing a traditional time shift. Did I get that right?
Thank you for the video
Did the upgrade, easy no problems. Had the “ok, now what?” feeling afterwards. Looked up the new features again and didn’t really see much difference. I guess that’s a good thing.
Running smooth with 6.1 kernel
I was running the beta version and I simply updated it ......hopefully there is no detriment doing it that way.
@@libremerlin did I use the word "upgrade" ? I CLEARLY stated that I "updated" it!
My update was moving like a snail so I cancelled it. Not sure what that was about guess I’ll try again another time.
Welp. YT closed the loophole where you can view hidden (though not deleted) comments by "sorting by newest"...
I guess it's finally time to read Оdуѕее, RuмЫе and ВіtСhutе'ѕ ToS and PriPols.
F YТ. RІР Ьоzо.
openSUSE Tumbleweed makes automatic snapshots every time you update that you can boot to if there is a problem, and you don't have to deal with version upgrades. every update is the upgrade.
Finally some Decent name to Linux Mint
hard to read your pages
As Tom mentions in his review previously of the Beta. a FRESH install of 21.2 removes the traditional panel choice that has been written about in the comments of the Linux Mint Website. I cannot say I like or appreciate this, or for that matter, Clem's comments. Smacks of "I don't care" to me. For the first time I feel somewhat antagonistic towards Mint. Thankfully, Tom made a video some years ago how to change this.
I have a separate home partition so my cinnamon configuration with the traditional panel can stay intact when I upgrade. This may be real important when Mint 22 is released.
I hate the remove software part and having to white-list 3rd party apps. I'd rather have the option to skip them all and restore if I run into issues. I might just update version name in sources/sources.d/... like Debian and take my chances instead of the updater app.
