For those who run Linux Mint, this might be for you.
Was originally released a few days ago but I only got around to play with it now due to RL.
17.3 Rosa has been released and features:
MATE:
Cinnamon:
Note that in the repos, kernel 4.2.0 is also available but I would not recommend updating it. I personally used to use ubuntu's mainline kernel updates instead of Linux Mint repos ones, when I used mint. On my Debian, I use backports compiled kernels.
In any case if you wish to update to 4.2.0 kernel from Linux Mint repos, beware that following drivers do not work with it:
fglrx (ATI/AMD Drivers)
ndiswrapper (Windows Wireless Drivers)
Enjoy.
