The developers of the Linux Mint distribution have begun publishing updated ISO images that come with newer versions of the Linux kernel. For the release in January, Linux Mint 22.3, initially supplied with kernel 6.14, an HWE update (Hardware Enablement) has been released featuring kernel version 6.17, ported from Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS. It is expected that the publication of such interim updates for ISO images will resolve user issues regarding support for new hardware, especially given the extended development cycle and the decision to release the next version of Linux Mint at the end of December 2026 instead of early September.
