Linux Mint 20.1 ISOs have been approved for release [Update]
by Paul Hill
Following the beta release of Linux Mint 20.1 in mid-December, the stable release has been finalised and approved for release according to the Linux Mint website. While approved, the Linux Mint project has not yet published a blog post about the release or the ISOs but they are expected imminently.
For those already running Linux Mint 20, the upgrade will be made available via the Update Manager but upgrading won’t be necessary if you’re happy with your existing setup. Like Linux Mint 20, Linux Mint 20.1 will receive security updates until 2025 as they’re both based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, however, it will come with desktop improvements and new apps developed by the Linux Mint project.
Some of the new apps that will be available include Web Apps which lets your turn your favourite sites into web apps accessible from the app menu and an IPTV program called Hypnotix that’ll come pre-loaded with several freely available channels. For Chromium fans, the Mint team has decided to begin compiling the browser itself without a dependence on Ubuntu’s Snap packaging software.
In a blog post from the end of December, Linux Mint’s head Clem Lefebvre said that there were still some issues that they wanted to work out before the release and couldn’t give an exact release date. Linux Mint is not known for giving exact release dates so there’s nothing out of the ordinary this time around. In the post, Lefebvre also stated that the team was considering an extra ISO image with the Linux 5.8 kernel to address some AMD Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 issues but this extra ISO has not yet shown up on the Mint website.
Update: Linux Mint 20.1 has now been released and can be downloaded from linuxmint.com.

Linux Mint 20.1 'Ulyssa' beta launches with new programs
by Paul Hill
The Linux Mint project has just released the beta for Linux Mint 20.1. The new beta is available in the Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce flavours of Linux Mint and aside from desktop improvements, share the same set of new features.
Neowin has covered some of Linux Mint’s development updates in recent months and the work that went in then has landed in a more mature form in this beta. Highlights include a new Web Apps tool that lets you turn your favourite sites into web apps accessible from the app menu and IPTV program called Hypnotix has been created and items can be marked as favourites in the file manager on Cinnamon.
Another change in Linux Mint 20.1, which has been known for quite a while now, is the inclusion of Chromium in the repositories. Chromium had previously been removed from the Linux Mint repositories because the maintainers didn’t like that it had Snap dependencies. The Chromium that is now included is compiled directly by the Mint team and updates will be released in a timely manner.
As with the other releases in this series, Linux Mint 20.1 will continue to get updates until 2025. Those running Linux Mint 20 will be able to upgrade in a pain-free manner when Linux Mint 20.1 is stable because the base packages will remain the same. Those who choose to download the beta today won’t have to reinstall when the stable version comes out in a few weeks, instead, you just need to make sure you install available updates.
You can find the three Linux Mint 20.1 beta flavours over on the Evowise mirror which should provide decent download speeds no matter where you are in the world.

Firefox 84 launches with support for Apple Silicon CPUs
by Paul Hill
Mozilla has released Firefox 84 with native support for Apple Silicon CPUs. Firefox 83, by contrast, was released just after Apple’s CPU announcement and had to run using Apple’s Rosetta 2 emulation software on newer Macs.
Aside from support for Apple Silicon CPUs, it’s worth mentioning again that Firefox 84 is set to be the last version of Firefox that will include support for Adobe Flash. The plug-in, which has largely been supplanted by HTML5 and Unity, was first released in 1996 and sometimes acted as a security weak point.
Firefox 84 is a big update in terms of Mozilla’s rollout of WebRender, its Servo rendering architecture. The rollout has been extended to devices running macOS Big Sur, Windows devices with Intel Gen 6 GPUs, and Intel laptops running Windows 7 and 8. Linux users with the GNOME desktop with X11 will also get WebRender switched on in this update but it’s unclear when users of other desktop environments and of Wayland will get the feature switched on.
The final point worth mentioning also pertains to Linux; Mozilla says it is now using “more modern techniques” for allocating shared memory on Linux which improves overall performance and increases compatibility with Docker.
Head over to the Firefox website now to grab a fresh copy of the browser or wait for your existing installation to upgrade itself. You can also force the upgrade by going to the Menu button > Help > About Firefox where you should see the update download and eventually offer to restart the browser.
