From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yep, great, just upgraded 😎👍
did you have to do a fresh install? the updater on mine is not offering 22 :(
We're talking about Linux Mint Debian Edition users also getting an upgrade to the Cinnamon desktop, just like users of Linux Mint 22. Assuming you're currently running Linux Mint 21.3, the update probably won't be enabled for you quite yet. You could do a clean install to get it, but IMO that would be kinda silly. Just be patient.
