Linux Mint 17.3 “Rosa” Beta Images Available for VirtualBox and VMware

The Linux Mint team announced the very first Beta version of their upcoming release “Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa”, it contains bugs fixes and performance enhancements. The Driver Manager is more robust than before. It refreshes the cache before looking for drivers and reports update and installation errors if appropriate. Drivers are now sorted by status and the Driver Manager now indicates if drivers are Open Source or not. Multi-monitor support has been improved for the MATE desktop and much more: “In preparation for Linux Mint 17.3, a lot of work went into MATE 1.12. Most of the papercut issues identified in Linux Mint 17.2 were fixed and some of the new features implemented in Cinnamon were ported to MATE. The team focused on many little yet important issues which are key for a comfortable user experience. MATE is now using the same `presence’ interface as GNOME and Cinnamon. This means it now supports a very wide range of applications. Linux Mint 17.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable to use.” You can checkout release announcement for Cinnamon and Mate editions.
