Linux Mint 13

Linux Mint 13 will be named “Maya” and should be available at the end of May 2012.

The codename was chosen a long time ago, after my daughter’s name who was named Maya in reference to:

The Maya civilization
The fictional Maya Toitovna
Maya the Bee

In India, people might also know “Maya” as the “Illusion“.

Note: The choice for this codename has nothing to do with the Mayan Calendar or the notorious cataclysmic interpretations for 2012 (by then we’ll be looking at Linux Mint 14 and a different codename).

Linux Mint 13 should feature separate editions for MATE and Cinnamon. Whether one of these and which of these two editions will be considered the “default” wasn’t decided yet.

and they also stated :

Linux Mint 10 reached “End Of Life”

Linux Mint 10 reached “end of life”. The release is likely to continue to work for a few years, but it isn’t officially supported anymore and won’t receive any more updates.

Linux Mint 11 will be supported until October 2012.

Linux Mint 9 and Linux Mint 12 will be supported until April 2013.

The upcoming Linux Mint 13 will be supported until April 2017.

new packages, bugs fix and also security patches

but somehow you can try to modified your mint by yourself, for example customize kernel or upgrading your os kernel, and maybe upgrading your desktop environtment like kde, gnome, xfce by yourself, etc. (compile from source

)

Just wanted to say Linux Mint 13 is now available as a release candidate. With MATE 1.2 and Cinnamon 1.4 desktop environments to choose from.

Using LM 13 cinnamon. Couldn't say that I'm content. Just got another bug "could not write bytes: Broken pipe".
Happens every now and then when you try to shutdown your machine. *sigh*
