TechBitesThe Linux Mint project has released two new versions: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE 6) and Linux Mint 21.2 Edge. LMDE 6 is based on Debian 12 "Bookworm" and is designed to be more user-friendly for Mint users who may not be as technically skilled as Debian users. Linux Mint 21.2 Edge is based on Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyish" and includes updated hardware enablement (HWE) support with a newer kernel. Both editions come with the Cinnamon desktop environment and offer a familiar Mint experience. Users can upgrade to the Edge edition without reinstalling by installing the updated HWE stack from Ubuntu's repositories.
OmnivoreJust FYI, "The Edge ISO image is not as stable as the other ISOs and may not support as many proprietary drivers. Only use it if you cannot boot or install with the other ISOs."

Jupp, tried the edge on my Dell XPS15.. was a total failure.
Booting takes minutes(!), Laptop runs hot while showing the desktop, driver manager says "all fine", not even showing the nvidia/nuveau selection...
Thanks to ventoy i also had a "standard" 21.2 iso handy, and thats running on my XPS now like a charm :)
(background: i tried mint 20.x when i got the laptop, but without success, so i waited for the next HWE iso to try again).
