The 18.x series follows the pattern set by the 17.x series, by using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as a base.

In addition, Mint 17.2 and 17.3 included an upgrade to the LibreOffice suite. All three versions included upgrades to the Cinnamon and MATE Desktop Environments and various Mint tools. The 17.x releases are intended to be an easy, optional upgrade. Under this strategy, Mint 17.1 was released on November 29, 2014, Mint 17.2 was released on June 30, 2015, and Mint 17.3 was released on December 4, 2015. Starting with the release of Mint 17, all future versions were planned to use a LTS version of Ubuntu as a base, until 2016. On May 31, 2014, with the release of Linux Mint 17, the Linux Mint team adopted a new release strategy. Versions 5 and 9 had three years of support, and all LTS versions following received five years of support. Following the release of Linux Mint 5 in 2008, every fourth release was labeled a long-term support (LTS) version, indicating that it was supported (with updates) for longer than traditional releases. Initially, there were two Linux Mint releases per year. Version 18 broke from the pattern with the name 'Sarah', though in English it retains the same final vowel sound as all of the other releases. Releases Įvery version of Linux Mint is given a version number and code-named with a feminine first name ending in 'a' and beginning with a letter of the alphabet that increased with every major revision.

Linux Mint immediately took its server offline and implemented enhanced security configuration for their website and forum. The hackers also breached the database of the website's user forum. On February 20, 2016, the Linux Mint website was breached by unknown hackers who briefly replaced download links for a version of Linux Mint with a modified version containing malware.

When LMDE 2 was released it was announced that all LMDE users would be automatically upgraded to new versions of MintTools software and new desktop environments before they were released into the main edition of Linux Mint. LMDE 2 'Betsy' was a long term support release based on Debian Jessie. It was announced on that the Linux Mint team would no longer support the original rolling release version of LMDE after January 1, 2016. Unlike the other Ubuntu-based editions (Ubuntu Mint), LMDE was originally a rolling release based directly on Debian and not tied to Ubuntu packages or its release schedule. In 2010, Linux Mint released Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). Starting with Linux Mint 6 'Felicia', each release was based completely on the latest Ubuntu release, built directly from it, and made available approximately one month after the corresponding Ubuntu release (usually in May or November). The same year, in an effort to increase compatibility between the two systems, Linux Mint decided to abandon its codebase and changed the way it built its releases. In 2008, Linux Mint adopted the same release cycle as Ubuntu and dropped its minor version number before releasing version 5 'Elyssa'.

This made the two systems' bases almost identical, guaranteeing full compatibility between them, rather than requiring Mint to be a fork. It then followed its own codebase, building each release from the previous one, but continuing to use the package repositories of the latest Ubuntu release. Linux Mint 2.0 was based on Ubuntu 6.10, using Ubuntu's package repositories and using it as a codebase. It had few users until the release of Linux Mint 3.0, 'Cassandra'.

Linux Mint 2.0 'Barbara' was the first version to use Ubuntu as its codebase. Linux Mint began in 2006 with a beta release, 1.0, code-named 'Ada', based on Kubuntu.
