A year after the previous 6.4 release, the Linux Mint development team has rolled out Cinnamon 6.6, with the desktop environment set to debut in the upcoming Linux Mint 22.3 “Zena” expected around Christmas.

The main menu receives the most visible set of changes. Its layout has been modernized with simplified navigation, cleaner category handling, optional avatars, and configurable places and bookmarks.

Genuinely curious about what made you choose systemd-networkd over NetworkManager. I've always just gone with NetworkManager without really comparing the alternatives.

    systemd-networkd gets installed by default by Arch, integrates a bit better with the rest of SystemD, doesn't have so many VPN surprises, and the configuration is a bit more obvious to me - a few config files rather than NetworkManager's "loads of scripts" approach. Small niggles rather than big issues.

    Really, I just don't want duplication of services - more stuff to keep up-to-date. And if I've got SystemD anyway, might as well use it...
