There's some interesting plans ahead coming from the Linux Mint team including a new EDGE ISO for running Mint on newer hardware, info on the next Linux Mint release and their concerns with Ubuntu and Snap.

The idea is to provide you with a download that has a fresher Linux kernel (6.2) for running Linux Mint on newer hardware. Seems like a sane idea, other distributions do a similar thing when refreshing their downloads. Not an entirely new thing for Mint though, they’ve done it for some previous releases.

    Why though? I like Mint, it’s neat to have a newer kernel by default iso option, but… Why?

    I’m pretty sure it’s easy enough to do this after installing the regular ISO. And it’s not like “bleeding edge” and Debian/Ubuntu even go together. Even SID feels far out of date. If I need “EDGE” I’ll go for Artix.
