Crowd fave Linux Mint update approaches, fresh from autumn release of Cinnamon desktop

Linux Mint 27 is expected next month, and its default Cinnamon desktop, version 2.8, has already been released. The new version will restore system hibernation, which Mint says Clément Lefebvre believes he can get working, and it adds stable Wayland support while keeping the X11 session. Mint 27 is based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and includes new apps such as the Superlight system monitor, the Unfold archive manager, and the Velocitty terminal emulator.
