Ya we advanced it yesterday. Although we did not rule out the possibility that it will arrive tomorrow, Thursday, Clement Lefebvre and his team have made the launch of Linux Mint 19.3. This version is the successor to Tina, the version of Ubuntu's unofficial Mint flavor that was released August 2. Lefebvre has fulfilled his promise and has launched "Tricia" earlier than expected, since he promised that it would be available at Christmas and, at least in Spain, the Christmas holidays begin on the 22nd coinciding with the lottery draw.
As in past releases, Tricia It is available in three flavors: the main Cinnamon, in MATE and in XFCE. The three versions come with outstanding novelties, but we can say that the one that has taken the most affection, of course because they are responsible for the graphical environment, is the Cinnamon version. Below you have a list of the most outstanding news that Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia includes.

The new images can be used for new installations. Linux Mint can be updated to the latest version from the operating system updates app, as how we explain last summer to go from Tesa (19.1) to Tina (19.2). For the one wondering, no, Linux Mint is not upgraded to Rolling Release mode; it does it like Ubuntu: it can be upgraded from the same operating system, but more profound changes are made. This means that those who want a cleaner installation should perform the installation from scratch.
