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.

Should I wait for 22.2 or just install 22.1? I think I’m going to go for the cinnamon desktop and install using a Rufus USB on my ~ 9 year old Dell XPS 13 9350.
I’ve been waiting a while as I thought the next version would be out by now, are there any resources for finding out how close the next version is?
Is it easy to upgrade between .x versions?
Debian edition is sort of maintained just in case Ubuntu goes away, but standard edition has a lot more options for packages and gets more regular updates. I personally use Debian and have better updates than I did with Mint DE.
