Interesting update, but kinda sad to see they won't kernel version 6.6 just yet.

75% scale. I wish I had this on Gnome, on older low res screens it's way too big.

If it'll help, KDE scales down to 50%.

Doesn't 5.15 kernel basically mean there's no support for Ryzen 7000 CPUs? I had to upgrade to 6.0 before things started working.
If so, that's a highly questionable decision.

There will be an "EDGE" ISO release with a newer kernel. Not sure which one they will pick, but the kernel manager has 6.2 and 6.5 available.

There's nothing questionable about releasing with the base kernel of the LTS release, considering that works for most people and it's much more mature. The gap between the base kernel and the latest one grows bigger by the end of the second year of the LTS. But the good thing is we're about 6 months away from the next Linux Mint version, based on Ubuntu 24.04.
