Linux Mint Upgrade Sparkles
The Linux Mint upgrade to version 17.3 Rosa is one upgrade regular users do not want to skip.
This latest release in downloadable ISO format, available in the MATE and Cinnamon desktop editions, hit servers earlier this month. Several days later, the upgrade was available from within the package management repository for existing Linux Mint users. That eliminates the need for a clean installation and having to set up all the apps and configurations to use the new release.
Linux Mint 17.3 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and is supported until 2019. It is a major upgrade from version 17.2 Rebecca.
Compared to the many recurring bland Ubuntu releases cycles, Linux Mint does not disappoint. Each decimal advance has been marked with should-not-miss improvements to the constantly evolving Linux Mint distro.
For my long term support upgrade next year I'm thinking of switching from Kubuntu to Mint's KDE. I am a bit surprised to hear though that the latest update allows the selection of a localized mirror servers for faster downloads.... I've certainly seen this before and have been using it in Kubuntu for the last two years.
