The Linux Mint team have announced the release of Linux Mint 20 “Ulyana”. The new release is based on Ubuntu 20.04 and provides five years of support.
Linux Mint 20 is available in three flavors:
- Cinnamon (Cinnamon 4.6)
- MATE (MATE 1.24)
- Xfce ( Xfce 4.14).
The star of the show in Linux Mint 20 is a new application called Warpinator. 10 years ago, Linux Mint 6 featured a tool called “Giver” which could share files across the local network. Without any server or configuration, computers would automatically see each others and you could simply drag and drop files from one to another. When the Giver project was discontinued it had to be removed from Linux Mint and we’ve been missing that functionality ever since.
