Linux Mint is in the middle of a redesign that will affect the website and logo and just a few days ago Clem Lefebvre gave us a glimpse of what it would all look like when the redesign is complete.
First of all, it is worth mentioning that being just a preview, nothing is set in stone and the entire design could radically change in its final version.
The logo is in the experimental phase and the project manager indicates that it is designed in such a way that it solves all the problems of the current version like broken scaling.
"We've been working on those bugs for a while. In the pre-release we released flat, semi-flat and symbolic versions of the current logo but we cannot eliminate all errors without removing the border from the leaf shape”I explain.
Inside improvements in the next Linux Mint
On the other hand, Lefebvre also discussed the performance improvements that were implemented last month in Cinnamon.
For example, both DocInfo and AppSys were revised and simplified, as noted in the official announcement, while the window manager should be faster thanks to reduced input lag. The application menu runs twice as fast as before.
The update manager also received attention this time, with new capabilities such as automatic removal of packages that are related to old kernels and which are no longer needed by the system. Lastly, mintreport, also known as System Reports has a refined interface with an XApp sidebar and a new page for system information. Linux Mint 19.2 will arrive sometime in June.
What a good change, companies must always renew themselves. and that new logo design is in line with the trends
Good morning,
Please, while it is true that Linux has many advantages, could you write an article on how Linux works with companies that sell all-in-one computers and touch screens.
I really want to install Linux Mint, I saw it and I fell in love with the system, I installed it a couple of times, always with a negative result.
The famous UEFI BIOS, does not let me access the system, which is why I ignore it. I followed a couple of tutorials on how to disable UEFI but it took me to GRUB in an infinite loop and there was nothing I could do but shut down and restart the machine.
If anyone knows how to disable the damn UEFI, thankful
I feel totally identified. I've always ended up going back to Windows because of the UEFI, I've tried everything that comes out in the tutorials but nothing has resolved it. It's frustrating having to reluctantly use Windows and not be free to use whatever software you want.
Hi, when you create the live usb, create it with UEFI option. Perhaps when installing, it will ask you for a 500megas EFI partition, you create that and then the / y / home.

I use Linux out of necessity. For some reason Windows 10 started throwing an error, and after a couple of formatting and reinstalling, it kept crashing. Why I ignore it and I do not care why, only that I needed the machine to work and I could not philosophize about what it does.
To avoid leaving the laptop lying idle, install linux Mint and what I describe with the UEFI. I installed Ubuntu Linux as a last-ditch save and it worked. It's not the OS I like the most but it takes me out of the water in the meantime
Thanks for the information .. I'll try it to see what happens
Try disabling Secure Boot. Enter the UEFI (in Win10 it is done from Settings-Updates and Security-Recovery-Advanced Startup).
If it doesn't work (or you can't), connect to the Internet during the Live session, and don't check when «Install multimedia codecs, Wifi ...) and so on.
It can also be bootloader problem. When the logo appears at startup, press the key to choose where to boot from (usually F12) and see if something like ubuntu appears (st and a few numbers). That's Mint, hit enter and GRUB should appear.
