Today we\u2019re taking a closer look at what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_and_Upgrades_in_Mint_202\"><\/span>Changes and Upgrades in Mint 20.2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/linuxmint.com\/\">Linux Mint<\/a> operating system has long been known for its user-friendliness and stability. Uma maintains that legacy, bringing only a few changes to Mint\u2019s update manager and the stock <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> collection, in addition to several improvements under the hood. Below are the highlights.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Update_Notifications\"><\/span>New Update Notifications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-738879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/linux-mint-update-notification-settings.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Update notification configuration in Linux Mint 20.2\" width=\"745\" height=\"243\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Mint team announced in\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.linuxmint.com\/?p=4049\">March of 2021<\/a>\u00a0that you\u2019ll start getting reminders on your Mint desktop when you don\u2019t update often enough. Uma is seeing the full implementation of that feature. Now, by default, Update Manager will remind you about available kernel and security-related updates if they sit in the queue for seven or more logged-in days (or 15 calendar days).<\/p>\n<p>That announcement rubbed some readers the wrong way, with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/linux-mint-turning-into-windows\/\">speculation arising<\/a> that Linux Mint was imitating Microsoft\u2019s approach to operating system updates. Linux users love their freedom, and they felt that the update notifications feature would be too obtrusive and reminiscent of\u00a0Windows 10\u2019s infamous forced updates.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we\u2019re talking about snoozable notifications, not forced updates and reboots. They\u2019re meant to simply ensure that you\u2019re not forgetting about critical upgrades. Additionally, as you can see in the above screenshot, the notifications are completely configurable. You can increase or decrease the number of days there, or, if you prefer, disable Update Manager entirely.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Sticky_Notes_App\"><\/span>New Sticky Notes App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-738880 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/linux-mint-sticky-notes.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Sticky Notes app in Linux Mint 20.2\" width=\"634\" height=\"426\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve come over to Mint from Windows, you\u2019ll find Uma\u2019s new Sticky Notes app to be a familiar sight. It allows you to create and save sticky notes that remain on your desktop as long as you allow Sticky Notes to run in the background.<\/p>\n<p>One nice feature is that you can organize notes in collections that you can then hide and show whenever you need them. That means that you could have one collection for work while you\u2019re on the clock and another for\u00a0off-duty personal notes.<\/p>\n<p>The app replaces Gnote, so if you prefer that application, you\u2019ll have to install it yourself in Uma.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warpinator_for_Android\"><\/span>Warpinator for Android<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-738878 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/warpinator-android.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Warpinator app on Android\" width=\"640\" height=\"431\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s not technically a change to Mint itself, it\u2019s worth noting that with this release, the Mint team is promoting <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=slowscript.warpinator\">an Android port<\/a> of Mint\u2019s popular Warpinator tool. The app is capable of speedy file transfers over the local network, and the Android edition means that you can copy files between your Linux and Android devices with ease.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_I_Get_Mint_202\"><\/span>How Do I Get Mint 20.2?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can head over to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/linuxmint.com\/download.php\">Linux Mint downloads page<\/a>\u00a0to download the official ISO.

Be sure to follow the Mint team\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.linuxmint.com\/?p=4111\">guide to upgrading safely<\/a>. Mint 20 and above will see long-term support until April of 2025, however, so choosing not to upgrade shouldn\u2019t cause any problems.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re on Mint 19.x, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/upgrade-to-mint-20.html\">it\u2019s possible to upgrade to 20<\/a> and then progress to 20.2. Be prepared for a long and complex process, however. You might be better off with a complete overwrite, and systems older than Mint 19 must go that route.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you use the Debian-based edition of Mint, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linuxmint.com\/download_lmde.php\">LMDE 4<\/a>, you\u2019ll find all of the package changes for 20.2 ported to your system as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/76501\/the-7-best-linux-laptops\/\"><strong><em>The 7 Best Linux Laptops<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
