Linux Mint 13 (Maya) Has Arrived

New submitter OceanMan7 writes "Linux Mint 13 (Maya) has just been released. DVDs come in four flavors — MATE (with and without codecs) and Cinnamon (with and without codecs) — in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The codec-free versions comply with U.S. and Japanese IP regulations. MATE 1.2 is Linux Mint's community-powered extension of Gnome 2. Cinnamon 1.4 is built upon Gnome 3, but has a more traditional look and feel. As with Ubuntu 12.04, upon which Linux Mint draws, all editions come with Long-term support (LTS) until April, 2017. The release notes provide a list of changes.

So then the four flavors come in two flavours? How many normal flavors are there in a flavour? I always get the metric conversion wrong.

Well, duh! You're using the 32-bit version, missing out on half the bits. If you want all the bits to work, install the 64-bit version, like any sane person would.
