Over three weeks after its beta and four months since the 22.2 “Zara” release, Linux Mint 22.3 “Zena” is now available for download, as the status has been changed from “Being tested” to “Approved for stable release,” and the installation ISOs are now being synchronized across the mirrors.

Powered by Linux kernel 6.14, the distribution is based on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and promises support and updates scheduled through April 2029 as part of the long-term support cycle.

The main release’s highlight is the integration of Cinnamon 6.6, the latest iteration of Mint’s flagship desktop environment, which delivers a redesigned application menu with a full-height sidebar for user profile access, symbolic category icons, configurable layout options, and enhanced support for Places and Bookmarks

I just updated. It's not a substantial update and good news is that nothing broke (: . But the updated start menu in Cinnamon 6.6 is a welcomed addition. I honestly miss Windows XP/7's start menu and this is close enough that I don't feel like changing it.

EDIT: I take that back, printers don't work. Neither my HP nor my Brother Network Printer are being detected.
