Im new to mint. I installed it on my laptop about a month ago. How do you update it when it comes out?

[-] MrCamel999@programming.dev 24 points 3 months ago

The update functionality for older versions to upgrade to the new version will be released a few weeks after the iso release of Linux Mint 22. It'll be an available upgrade in the Software Update Center application.

The latest blog post says it should be just a few days, which is nice!

Open the Update Manager (click on the little shield icon down near the clock) and click Edit > Upgrade to Linux Mint 22.

Their website will have more thorough details.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
