Based on the recently released Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating system, Linux Mint 19.1 will be dubbed “Tessa” and it is expected to arrive sometime later this year at the end of November or in early December, according to project leader Clement Lefebvre. The Linux Mint developer also revealed the fact that Linux Mint 19.1 “Tessa” will be supported for five years, until 2023, and that Linux Mint 19 “Tara” users will be able to upgrade to Linux Mint 19.1 “Tessa” via the in-house built Update Manager utility.
