Plus, the Ubuntu-based Linux distribution has redesigned its (overlooked) document hub, Library, to make it easier to find and manage documents scattered across you device from one place. Both new apps join the XApp Project, Linux Mint's collection of home-grown, cross-desktop GTK apps (which now has a new website wearing the popular Claude design aesthetic).
