The long-awaited LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 7 is now available for download, based on the Debian GNU/Linux 13 “Trixie” series. This release includes the Cinnamon 6.4.13 desktop environment and is powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.12 LTS kernel series.
Codename "Gigi," this version inherits numerous features from Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara.” Notable attributes include fingerprint authentication through the new Fingwit app, accent color support for XDG Desktop Portal XApp, enhanced compatibility with libadwaita, theme updates, and an improved Wayland session.
A significant addition in LMDE 7 is the support for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) installations, allowing LMDE to be pre-installed on computers sold globally. According to Clement Lefebvre, this crucial feature enables Linux Mint to be pre-installed on various devices, something that wasn’t supported by previous LMDE iterations.
The primary objective of Linux Mint Debian Edition is to ensure users can rely on a consistent Linux Mint experience, even in scenarios where Ubuntu might not be available. It also serves as a testing environment for developers to ensure compatibility with software beyond Ubuntu.
For additional details, including known issues, users can refer to the release notes. LMDE 7 is classified as a long-term support (LTS) release, implying it will receive software and security updates over the next couple of years.
