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.

Not likely, at least not for Mint or your current version of Ubuntu. For Ubuntu, it probably would end up in their next major release, like 26.04 for LTS, and whatever the next interim release is for non LTS. Mint is based on LTS, so sometime after 26.04 Ubuntu.
Flatpak, Snap, AppImage, PPA, or build from source would be your options on Mint for now.
