The team is proud to announce the release of Linux Mint 13 “Maya”.

Available in two editions, Linux Mint 13 features the choice between a productive, stable and mature MATE 1.2 desktop and the brand new modern-looking and exciting Cinnamon 1.4. These two desktops are among the best available, they’re perfectly integrated within Linux Mint and represent great alternatives to Gnome 2 users. Linux Mint 13 is also an LTS (Long Term Support) release and it will be supported until April 2017.


New features at a glance:
MATE 1.2
Cinnamon 1.4
MDM
Artwork improvements
Search engines

Important info:

Boot hangs on systems with b43 wireless cards
64-bit only for Mint4win
Windows popping behind the installer in MATE edition
Desktop icons in Cinnamon
Make sure to read the “Release Notes[/url[” to be aware of important info or known issues related to this release.


I do not know if I'm on the b43. Wireless still eludes me. I do not know what all "atheros" encompasses. This is the netbook.

I do not know if I want to upgrade anyway. All I'm seeing is downloads for Gnome alternatives, and none for Gnome itself (I don't believe the alternatives are matured enough yet for 24/7 use). I'm beginning to get used to Gnome 3 (but then they don't do Gnome 3 like most do).
