### Source excerpt

Linux Mint shook up its release schedule this year and now it's shaking up its versioning scheme as well - the next major release won't be Linux Mint 23, but Linux Mint 27.

Mint has traditionally used feminine first names, cycling through the alphabet from Linux Mint 1.0 'Ada' in 2006 through to Linux Mint 22.3 'Zena' in 2026. The series returns to 'A' with Linux Mint 27 and [...] You're reading Linux Mint 27 'Adrien' due this Christmas with MORE new apps, a blog post from OMG! Ubuntu.
