The Linux Mint team have announced the release of Linux Mint 21.2 "Victoria" which is based on Ubuntu 22.04 and offers support through to the year 2027. The new release includes a number of improvements to the login screen, Flatpak packages can now be included as Featured items in the software centre, and the layout of the Pix application has been overhauled. "Slick Greeter, which is in charge of the login screen, was given support for multiple keyboard layouts. The indicator located on the top-right corner of the screen opens a menu which lets you switch between layouts. System layouts defined in /etc/default/keyboard are listed first for easy access. Below that a sub-menu lists all supported layouts. Touchpad support was also improved. Tap-to-click is detected and enabled automatically in the login screen. The layout used for Onboard, the on-screen keyboard is configurable. The keyboard navigation was improved. The arrow keys can be used to edit the password which is being typed. A revealer icon appears when the password is clicked or edited. This revealer can be used to toggle the visibility of the password."

IPFire is a Linux distribution that focuses on easy setup, good handling and high level of security and is mostly used on routers and firewalls. The project's latest release focused on bug fixes and minor upgrades, including fixing IPsec certificate generation in some situations. The release announcement shares the highlights: "An edge case related to bug #13138, which caused IPsec root/host certificate generation to fail on the first attempt only, has been fixed. While editing OpenVPN static IP address pools, spaces are now handled correctly again. udev rules for LVM volumes have been fixed, allowing for configured LVM volumes to start properly on boot again. Remove entries for additional mass storage via the web interface of the ExtraHD add-on have been fixed, partially resolving #12863. Filesystem journal features are now always enabled for cloud images, and as soon as a disk with SMART support is detected. misc-progs, the safety net between IPFire's web interface and the core system, have been improved under the hood to allow for better return code enumeration. Stéphane Pautrel has contributed improvements to the French translation of IPFire's web interface."

"Having completed a fresh install of Linux Lite 6.6, once you have restarted after the first login, full language support will be available across the entire Menu and Sub-Menu system. If there are still Menu entries that are not in your language, then consider contributing a translation to that developers software. If you'd like to help out with translations in this series for the above mentioned areas, please go here and post a reply with your changes under your Language thread. Thanks for helping the community out. There is still much to do, but we've made massive improvements to date."
