From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The update functionality for older versions to upgrade to the new version will be released a few weeks after the iso release of Linux Mint 22. It'll be an available upgrade in the Software Update Center application.
Open the Update Manager (click on the little shield icon down near the clock) and click Edit > Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.
Their website will have more thorough details.
Thank you
Afaik there is a mintupdate tool with linuxmint nowadays. So i think you can easily know how to update when its time
I'm running LMDE, I wonder if that will ever get updated.
LMDE 6 has only been out for less than a year. It's based on Debian 12. Debian 13 will likely be out around this time next year, and the future LMDE 7 will be based on that.
new to LMDE. does it usually get updates?
Yes it does, regularly. Don’t know what that person is talking about acting like it somehow wouldn’t.
They update Cinnamon regularly, and the main release is updated when Debian has a new stable release. This makes sense, since it’s based on Debian instead of Ubuntu. LMDE 6 is less than a year old.
