LinuxMint 19.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2023. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use.
Congratulations Clem and the whole Dev Team.
This release ( I am on beta ) was the first Linux Distro from any Linux version, that would actually complete thru to the Live Session on my new hardware, ASUS TUF Gaming GM705.
hi there
i love the new release. very well done to the mint team. there is something missing. i really would love to get back and it is awesome. is to copy the applets from main screen to the second screen. i see that option is gone. but the rest looks awesome. thanks again
This feature was the first thing I used to use every time I would log into my session. Now, I just use it and wait for something to happen, until I realize that I am waiting in vain. This was indeed a huge time saver for me and a much appreciated power feature.
Hi,
Thank you very much Clem and the team. I upgraded on my dual boot Acer AspireOne D255E. Works fine so far. But I would like to see the redesigned new boot menu which looks awesome in the screenshot provided by you while I am still getting the same old boot menu. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Linux mint 19.3 seems to run faster. I just updated my system. The first thing that strikes me is that my picture folder is running superfast! Thank you very much Linux Mint team! Upgrade is done in lesser than five minutes.
There where no updgrade problems at all. Oh I do love linux mint.
I hope you all will have a nice christmas and a super party at the end of the year!
Thank you dear Clem and the Linux Mint Team for this wonderful Christmas present ? You awesome heroes are doing a superb job of making this world a better place ? Wish you all the best and a Happy Holidays ahead! Take care and keep rocking.
First installed the Xfce version, really good version. Then installed Cinnamon meta package and then removed Xfce. Very impressed with how effecient and responsive Cinnamon has become. Will keep the Cinnamon version, great job Linux Mint Team!
I upgraded from mint 19.2 to 19.3. it look great and works fine, only thing I am missing (from the new feature list _tricia_cinnamon_whatsnew.php ) is the new boot menu
I still get the old boot menu. It is not a big deal. I will still love Linux Mint and use it for me and my family as our main OS, as we have do for more than 10 years, but the new boot menu look much nicer, so I would like to have it if it is possible.
Thanks.
Today the Update-Manager show up some few updates, and after updating I got the new Boot-Menu.
Even it is only a Boot-Menu that shows only when booting up the computer, it is quite nice, and it feel much more solid.
Thank you Linux-Mint team for very good OS (I have been using Linux-Mint for about decade now, and this is the best OS I have ever tried.
I almost never log in to windows now, but have to do it sometimes, because while using Excel (making template for others to use), because even LibreOffice is quite good for Linux user, sometimes template made in LibreOffice will almost be useless opened in windows Excel. These are the only times when I feel I have to use Windows, and I hate it every time. But in fact it is good to be able to know and use many OS.
I am just a normal user, no geek or professional. And this, combined with the lack of usable tutorials here in my area, it is difficult to do raids now. Especially when you have no setting available on your raid controller.
Clem and team Yet Another fabulous Christmas present!
the only thing I noticed was that when I went to the device manager and added the NVidia graphics driver I rebooted to the dread BLACK SCREEN OF DUH!
Needless to say, I had not timeshifted the new version yet. Any suggestions to get back to the xserver version? that worked well.
Thanks again for 19.3!
New release, same bugs like before. After about two days of constantly working without rebooting or shutting down the system, the two finger scrolling on Lenovo Thinkpads T550 and T520 stops working. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?
To my understanding, distros are a set of configurations and choices that make a system. Many are things that exist, like the kernel, and lots of modules and apps. Others are original creations, or at least creations based on something that existed before, like Cinnamon.
Take a look at -a-linux-mint-iso-file-with-a-gui/. This post describes how to verify the Mint 19.3 SO file using the GtkHash utility which provides a graphical user interface and simplifies the authentication process.
Cinnamon is unintuitive compared to gnome. Why have a panel for favourite apps and then a separate favourite bar embedded in the start menu for favourite apps? Yes you can turn them off in the start menu but that removes the option to log out and shut down.
had a problem with BLUETtOOTH somehow my cousins was using the same BLUETOOTH speaker i was using so i FOUND BLUEMAN too lock down my BLUETOOTH also got a new speaker also NO PROBLEMS soo farr
LOVE LINUXMINT no more windows hehehe
Hello There,
Wish you all a Happy New Year. I am in need of support. I am new to Linux world and came across this beautiful Linux distro. Could you please let me know if I can install Linux Mint 19.3 in dual boot mode with my existing Windows 10?
Very nice work. Wish you all a Happy New Year. I installed the whole thing on an Asrock Pro4 motherboard with Ryzen 7 3700x. I found out that I had to add a graphics card GT 710. The whole thing runs smoothly. Only Google Earth has a little flaw.
what service do i need to stop , because printers are getting installed automatically, even after i deleted them. very anoying because i have more then 10 printers in my network. i want to install just ONE not all of them.
There is an important glitch, in my case I was running 19.2 with Kernall 5.3, active and no dramas.
After upgrade and re boot all was ok, BUT, they system was telling me to upgrade to Kernel 5.0.0.
That is mad
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
A 100% seem-less upgrade from 19.2 to 19.3 and no glitches of any kind. All my applications & personal files preserved perfectly. A wonderful upgrade and once again a huge THANK YOU !! to all those great people in the Linux Mint team. Thank you for all your hard work, mint 19.3 is another fantastic achievement that is wonderful. You should all be extremely proud of this.
Hi Tanzim,
I tried grub2-theme-mint-2k, too, and thought that the text looked too large. So, I just uninstalled it (using Synaptic Package Manager) and then installed grub2-theme-mint. Both options result in very low-res, pixelated text, though.
Very straight-forward, very easy to upgrade. Thank you!! Re: an easy to use drawing program that does most of what I need, I still prefer KolourPaint. Nine years now with LM as my main system. I will continue to financially support it!
Hi Neil! About the 3rd point could you please let me know how exactly I can change the old mint icon to the new linux mint icon on the left corner (so the main menu icon on the left corner as default)? ?
Thanks for the new Mint! Booted 19.3 first from a USB stick on my Samsung RV720. Screen brightness working now with Fn+arrow. But still original Broadcom BCM4313 Wifi is slow and intermittent using kernel driver bcma-pci-bridge *brcmsmac* and not the much better behaving wl. Combo Bluetooth BCM2070 OK now. Now to updating 19.2.
Wow, was not expecting the upgrade until nearer Christmas!! Upgrades to all my LM machines went like a dream, perfectly smoothly and very quickly. Thanks SO much to Clem and the team for continuing to improve a wonderful product. I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas, a Happy and Healthy New Year, and enjoy a well earned break away from it all.
Did some further troubleshooting when I got home and saw in /var/log/kern.log that the drive I was using for the Timeshift backups had write and I/O errors, so pls disregard my post and thank you again for a wonderful distro.
This was my first upgrade since coming over from Windows a month or so ago. I had Mint set up just the way I wanted it and was apprehensive about upgrading. Fretted over it all day before finally pulling the trigger. The whole thing, including reboot, took less than two minutes and everything looks great. Gotta love a team that can roll these things out smoothly without borking every other thing. Glad to be aboard SS Mint.
Tried the aggressively promoted Celluloid vs. the proven VLC. No difference at all. While playing the same very videos, the CPU load is exactly the same.
The only benefit is that Celluloid is directly compatible with Wayland and should be far more efficient in Wayland-based environment, but Mint seems to be far for the first distros to implement it in practice.
ps. My system uses Athlon II X4 CPU and nouveau. Situation may be someway different with proprietary video drivers and/or CPUs with extended command sets.
19.3 has had one issue on both machines that have been upgraded. There is an audio pop on almost all sounds. Have never had this issue in any of the upgrades from 18.3 on. Searched the Internet and found the fix. So far so good. Other than that all is good. Thanks LM team.
After trying an upgrade from 19.2 to 19.3 using Update Manager, the Update Manager itself stopped working, plus a message saying the upgrade had failed (although neofetch said it was successful.) Solved everything in Terminal by,
hello linuxmint could make this part show the video in small instead of just a cd image appears thank you I leave the example in an image but they understood me thanks, the idea is like the mini player that youtube has.
Thank you for the hard work and for this quality release. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I would like to highlight a small issue. When KeePass2 (installed from repository) is running, the Systray icon is missing and a black square is visible.
