Linux Mint 27 arrives next month, and I like it already: New features and other upgrades to expect
It starts with a surprise version number: Linux Mint 27 instead of 24. But the next release brings far more changes than that.
Linux Mint 27 is set to be released next month, following the distribution's decision to change its release cadence and numbering system. The new release will use boys' names for distro titles and no longer include point releases. Key features in Linux Mint 27 include the return of hibernation support, a dedicated Sleep Modes page in the System Administration tool, and a new system-monitoring application called Superlight.
The Nemo file manager will feature a media preview pane, while the Velocitty terminal application will be introduced. The Linux kernel used by Mint 27 will be version 7.0, and the distribution will utilize Ubuntu 26.04 LTS as its foundation. Overall, these upgrades are expected to improve power management, introduce more capable built-in utilities, and offer a more comprehensive collection of everyday desktop applications.
