The latest Linux Mint [distrowatch.com] monthly newsletter [linuxmint.com] looks ahead to the next version of Mint and some key changes which will be happening in the project. One of the significant changes is a longer development cycle for new Mint versions.

"Linux Mint will adopt a longer development lifecycle. The next release is planned for Christmas 2026. Linux Mint will use the same installer as LMDE (i.e. live-installer). What hasn't been decided yet is the release strategy itself: the length of the cycle, whether minor releases are frozen (like the point releases in Mint 22.x) or backported/semi-rolling (as in LMDE), and whether we will introduce alpha releases."
