yes, i found it, but i have got my doubts about this 6.x kernel; will give it a try, but it may not work with my wifidongle.
I had that problem with LMDE5, I am hoping 6 will be better. I know from the Mint Blogs that Debian is more challenging for the Mint team than Ubuntu, if they do switch entirely to Debian it will be reluctantly.
hm.t think i will wait until at least the stable version comes out;this beta was so eagerly awaited that it must be a honeypot for all those virus makers out there..and as i have no cutting edge stuffed into my pc, i have absolutely no need for that kernel, just an old iveybridge, so a 5 series kernel is good enough. i may try to boot that beta on my mx lappy, but no more...apart from that, i got an ubuntu-based mint running perfecty, supported till 2027, so why ask for trouble? merely on principle?
well, actually, i have a whole list of 6.* kernels that i can install. i shunned them all. i googled around a bit, and it seems they are all intended for cutting edge machines; amd ryzen multicores, nvidia cards, etc. nvidia is one of my pet hates; i had one eons ago, you could bbq an ox on it, it performed badly, had no drivers for vista that i used at the time, [ not for long, lol...] and it failed within a year or so. and the company behaves in a fishy way. [ AI monopoly, bitcoin stuff etc..] all in all, i have none of those, and and my current kernel works fine, plus it has longer support. and about that beta LMDE6, i read something in some forum that that kernel 6.1 had some problem to support some cutting edge thingy.. [ that me a bit suspicious. in general, i shun upgrades like a pest. my motto is; if it aint broke, dont fix it.]
Ill install it on my laptop and use it most days but it wont go on my main PC, I want to be familiar with LMDE as it may be the future of Mint.
My distro is MX Linux - you could choose your init either the traditional sysvinit or systemd for application/desktop manager compatibility.
It all depends on what you want from a distribution. Do you want to learn Linux or just want an OS to get rid of Microsoft? If the former, the best one is ArchLinux. You start from nothing and learn everything there is to learn. Painful in every possible way, but you learn and knowledge is solid. There is no easy way. This is what I would recommend, and it is what I use for the past 2 years. If you want just on OS for daily use, you could try Linux Mint.
