Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

The year is almost over, our latest release is out, all the work we’ve done has been delivered and this holiday season is an opportunity to take a little break to contemplate and enjoy where we are and what we have, before 2018 starts with a new development cycle, new ambitions and two important targets on the horizon: Linux Mint 19 and LMDE 3.

I’d like to thank you for your support, for your help and for your feedback. 2017 was a lot of fun. See you all next year for more! 🙂

Installation Guide

The Linux Mint Installation Guide is now available in English, Bulgarian, Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Danish, French, German, Interlingua, Italian and Turkish.

It will soon also become available in Croatian, Dutch, Greek, Korean, Lithuanian, Spanish and Swedish.

Many thanks to all the people involved in translating it.
