    How about some spice in your Friday news, guv? Well, I've written a detailed, thorough review of Linux Mint 22.1 Xia Cinnamon edition, tested in a dual-boot Windows-Linux setup on a laptop with AMD processor and integrated graphics and NVMe storage, covering live session, installation and post-install usage, including look and feel, customization, desktop scaling and fonts clarity, ergonomics, software management and updates, Flatpak configuration, everyday use, applications, performance, responsiveness with and without animations, boot speed, Samba sharing speed, hardware compatibility, battery life, various problems and niggles, and more. Enjoy.

    Very interesting write up. Some (or most) disappointing aspects i can concur on loss of taste in those respects. Really helps that it still holds up mostly in spite of the (foot draggings)

    Enjoyed the article, especially as I`m giving Mint a go on an old Dell Lattitude laptop and I must say things are going swimmingly so far.

    Regards Eck:)
