Slated for release in December 2024, near the Christmas holidays, Linux Mint 22.1 will ship with the soon-to-be-released Cinnamon 6.4 desktop environment featuring a revamped theme that’s much darker and contrasted than before, rounded elements, redesigned dialogs, and a gap between the applets and the panel.

The transition towards Aptkit and Captain is now finished. Starting with Linux Mint 22.1, set to be released this December, none of our projects will depend on aptdaemon, synaptic, gdebi or apturl anymore.

Finally, modern UI. Mint really needed it, less reasons for noobies to not try it out now
This is my grandpa time, but I love Cinnamon for the less modern UI.
The new UI won't bother me a cent, but I really disliked KDE for no apparent reason, and Cinnamon hit right what I like about a UI.
I understand that a lot of things can be customized, but I am talking about OoB experience.
I don’t think this new design will be used in Linux Mint by default. I believe this is just for distros that use Cinnamon’s default theme, which is different from Linux Mint’s default theme.
But who knows, maybe it could also become default in Linux Mint.
First sentence of the article
"new default Cinnamon theme coming to Linux Mint 22.1 later this year."
It says that in the 9to5Linux article, not the original source. The blog post simply says "becomes ready for inclusion in the next version of Cinnamon."
Not to say that the 9to5Linux article is wrong since Linux Mint very well could ship the new theme as an option, but not the default theme.
