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.

Just got it in my updates now. First things I've noticed, some new icons and some great new Wilma wallpapers and a new "Xviewer" app that seems to be colour managed! Cinnamon version now on 6.2.7

This is the manual way. But mint has a tool for that, since 21. Which is crazy late but well
