The repository servers were upgraded.
The upgrade between Mint 21.3 and 22 was broken last week due to package conflicts introduced upstream in Ubuntu 24.04 on samba and libreoffice. See blog for more details.
Outside of Linux Mint, Cinnamon looks pretty ugly. To address this problem Cinnamon 5.4 will ship with a much improved default theme.
Maintaining better APT libraries and utilities.
LMDE 5 “Elsie” reached End Of Life and is no longer maintained.
