In the July 2017 newsletter of his Linux Mint project, Clement Lefebvre reveals the fact that the highly-anticipated Linux Mint 18.2 "Sonya" operating system has passed QA (Quality Assurance) and it's now available for download.

Linux Mint 18.2 "Sonya" has been in Beta testing for the past month or so, and it was about time to get an official release, and the good news is that all the flavors have been released at the same time, including the main Cinnamon and MATE ones, as well as the secondary KDE and Xfce editions.

New features include the latest Cinnamon 3.4, MATE 1.18, KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS, and Xfce 4.12 desktop environments, all based on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system and powered by the Linux 4.8 kernel. The Cinnamon edition adopts LightDM as default login manager, and many improvements were brought to the Update Manager and Software Sources apps, as well as to all the XApps.
