Based on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa) and powered by Linux kernel 5.4 LTS, Linux Mint 20.1 “Ulyssa” was officially released on January 8th, 2021, brining the latest Cinnamon 4.8 desktop environment, support for Web Apps, a new IPTV player app, printing and scanning improvements, and many other changes. But since Linux Mint 20.1 uses the same package base as Linux Mint 20, there’s no need to download the new ISO images to upgrade your existing installations. Instead, you just have to upgrade, which is an easy process for everyone using Linux Mint.
