Attention! Linux Mint 20 Has Reached Its End
Quoting: Attention! Linux Mint 20 Has Reached Its End —
When Linux Mint 20 launched back in June 2020, it brought a range of improvements, such as a refined Cinnamon desktop experience, better performance, and the promise of long-term support (5 years).
Five years later, its time has come, as it has officially reached end-of-life (EOL) status. This means that systems running that version of Linux Mint will no longer receive security updates and important patches.
If you are on the fence about the upgrade, let me give you a quick look at what’s new and why upgrading is a good idea.

Linux Mint 20 Reaches EOL » Linux Magazine
It's that time again, Linux Mint fans. You have to upgrade. Why? Because Linux Mint 20 has reached its EOL. Version 20 of the popular Linux distribution was released in June of 2020 as a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, which in Linux Mint terms, is five years of support.
Fortunately, there's a new LTS version available that has already enjoyed its first point release. Linux Mint 22.1 (aka "Xia") comes loaded with improvements and goodies, such as a new and improved Cinnamon desktop, improved Flatpak support, better window management with multi-monitor configurations, a better default font, a switch to the PipeWire sound server, and better VirtualBox support. With version 22.2 on the horizon, you'll see Fingwit integration for fingerprint authentication and Libadwaita support for theming. Version 22 will be supported until 2029.
