Mint keeps getting better and better! Still a few improvements I notice could be made:

– The 18.1 Cinnamon installer says third party software is subject to its own license terms, but doesn’t show you those terms or link to them in any form. When presented with a checkbox to agree to terms we should get to see what the terms are that we’re agreeing to right there

– when you install Mint to a hard drive that has other partitions with Windows on them, I wish the installer would let you choose the unallocated area of the drive and then it would handle partitioning, just like if you had chosen to use the entire drive. But it doesn’t let you, you have to manually create the swap and root partition etc.

Sorry. I was not so specific in my question. I was thinking about Wacom Tablet setting GUI implemented, and recognise multimonitor in KDE version.
Cheers

Complementing, is that in the download mirrors the 64-bit version refers to the beta version.

I’ve got a laptop with a Celeron N3050 and 4GB of RAM. At 768p (default resolution), will Mint Xfce run alright on this hardware?

Edit by Clem: There’s only one way to know 🙂 768px might be a bit small for some of the apps, if you can’t reach parts of a window, don’t forget you can move windows by pressing the ALT key and then dragging the inside of the window with the mouse. 4GB RAM is enough, I’m not sure about the CPU.
