This is the first Mintcast i listen to about Linux Mint 22, might test to update a machine or so at work after the summer vacation in England when i am back in Sweden again
Thanks for the comment! I must say – I’ve not experienced any problems with 22. I’ve been on it for a couple weeks now, and it seems really stable.
