Not sure what you mean by &#x27;support&#x27;. There is an extremely easy and stable upgrade process as well as guides, forum help, etc. However, it isn&#x27;t necessary to upgrade frequently if you go on the LTS track.<p>As for &#x27;reinstalling twice per year&#x27; again, not sure where you&#x27;re getting this from. Linux mint 17.3 is supported until April 2019. That&#x27;s almost 3 and a half years before you need to upgrade.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;linux.wikia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Linux_Mint" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;linux.wikia.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Linux_Mint</a><p>And in the meantime you get continuous upgrades for software you&#x27;ve installed in an intuitive and easy to use UI.<p>You ask, &#x27;Are those things there for Linux Mint yet?&#x27;<p>Yes, yes they are :)
