    The entire upgrade process took about 12 minutes on the mighty-mini. But, it took about 60% to run the Timeshift backup program. The upgrade itself was around 5 minutes. Easy Peasy!

    Mint 19.1 uses both Gnome and xfce 4.12 DEs. For general UI like taskbar and desktop they use XFCE and for HiDPI aware apps like editors,web browsers etc.. they're using GNOME 3.28.x or 3.30.
