Quoting: tuubiNow that Mint 22 has been out for a year and four months with 22.3 coming out in December, is there a reason you don't want to upgrade? I know 21.3 still gets security updates for a long time, but is there something specific holding you back?

Time & stability, I guess? Upgrading to Mint 22 requires Internet access. It might seem surprising to you, but I only have computer access to the Internet one or two evenings a week. No access at home. I have to prioritize my needs based on that. If it ain't broke, I don't fix it.

Presently, Mint 21.3 is configured exactly the way I like it on my gaming laptop. Time spent on reconfiguring Mint to my satisfaction after upgrading is time I cannot spend gaming.

Don't get me wrong. I want to upgrade to Mint 22 but I got burned on my first attempt. Mint 22.0 had too many issues that I wasn't happy with and I chose to roll back to Mint 21.3. I plan to try the upgrade process again, after I have completed transitioning my daily driver laptop to Mint 22. I figure that the experience of upgrading my daily driver, along with the improvements of two point releases, will help me work out most of the kinks that dissatisfied me during that first attempt.
