Linux Mint 20.3 is under development with a new site.
♞ Coming up on Runboxing ♞
An overview of news in the development of Linux Mint 20.3 for the last month was published
in a report on the distribution blog. The development cycle of the next version of Linux
Mint 20.3 has been launched, and a more modern website is being prepared.
One of the good news is securing funding for the future development of this distribution.
Linux Mint has been able to raise financial support from over 500 independent volunteer
contributors. Compared to the month of June, during which the number of donors was around
380, this is an interesting increase in support from the user community.

The release of the latest stable version of Linux Mint 20.2 has received positive reviews,
and developers have been able to bring some of the standalone improvements and fixes to
older supported versions 20, 20.1 or LMDE 4, through package updates. The next version
of Linux Mint 20.3 is already in development and its release, according to the developers’
plans, should come around the Christmas holidays this year.

At the same time, a new distribution website was introduced, but it is still being prepared.
This update to the page will bring about the first significant design changes in about
thirteen years and should eliminate issues with proper display on different devices.
The community has the opportunity to participate in its successful completion. More information
can also be found in a separate repository on GitHub.
Windows 11 is rumored to be released in October, and since it is already in the Beta Channel,
that rumor seems plausible. So, yeah, Microsoft is sure to dominate headlines in the final
quarter of the year.
While a new version of Windows is surely exciting, that won't be the only operating system getting
a new version later in the year. You see, the Linux Mint developers have shared some
exciting news about when version 20.3 of the Ubuntu-based distro will be available for
download.
In a blog post that mostly focuses on the current Linux Mint 20.2 and a planned website
redesign (yawn), head developer Clement Lefebvre slips in an actual interesting tidbit. Lefebvre
says, "The next development cycle is now open and the next target is Linux Mint 20.3. It
is planned for Christmas 2021."
Does this mean Linux Mint 20.3 will definitely be released by Christmas? No, it is not a
guarantee. With that said, the Mint developers are usually pretty reliable when it comes
to deadlines, so it should be safe to expect a new version of the Linux distro under your
Christmas tree this year -- figuratively speaking, of course.
