https://9to5linux.com/linux-mint-22-1-slated-for-release-in-december-with-revamped-cinnamon-theme So, those of us that have been waiting for the first point release will have another major new default item to contend with.
I've never understood waiting for the first point release. I installed Mint 22 on day 1. It's fine. If anything goes wrong, I can restore an image.
Same, I don't wait for point releases. But then I run it in a VM and snapshot it first. The updated theme looks interesting, I guess we'll see.
