Linux Mint 18.2 Ubuntu based Operating System is named Sonya
Linux Mint, a popular Operating System for Linux which has been running on the Unity desktop environment is ditched as its base OS. Instead it offers the Cinnamon DE. However the uncertainty of the Ubuntu has not deterred the Linux Mint team and has moved ahead with the 18.2 version. There are two things about the 18.2 one is the OS code name is named as “ Sonya” and the second thing is it will use the LightDM as default display manager.
Clement Lefebvre, Linux Mint explains the meaning behind the name Sonya. One of the developers named Michael Webster had lost his wife Sonya. The team has addressed the support and deepest sympathy to Michael Webster.
He also added “ I can’ t think of anything more painful than losing a loved one. We feel a lot of fraternity and sadness after what happened. It is an honor for us to be able to commemorate her name. Farewell Sonya and to you Michael, it is a real pleasure and privilege to be developing with you. I hope you do well,"
We here at LinuxHelp would like to offer our condolences to Michael Webster as well. Our hearts go out to you and your family, sir.
Lefebvre further added that the Linux Mint 18.2 will switch to LightDM display manager.
With all the confusion surrounding the Ubuntu, Linux Mint team seems to be on clear path working on Mint OS. There is a secondary Debian version of the distro pending to be released. Till then its business as usual till the release of “ Sonya” .
