Device Driver Manager For Linux Mint

LMDE(2) does not display the Driver-Manager-Entry in the welcome screen (but shows up a Release Note which is missing in the Ubuntu-Version). The root-chause for that seems the missing a Driver-Manager-Feature with the LMDE(2)-version (which - I guess - led to some reasonable replacement for the 'hole' - the ) on the welcome-screen.

How can the answer be improved?

What's more irritating - installing Mint18.2 (*bit, all Display-Manager-flavours - if I do remember right) in a qemu/kvm vm using a i7-host and (Hypervisor-default)-client offers a intel-microcode-driver update with the Driver-Manager on the welcome-screen which is not offered by the Software-Manager (even at update level 5 - risky / for both LMDE(2) and the 18.2-flavours). If the driver (update) is important for users to be placed at this prominent location and should be installed urgently (what I guess should be the case as microcode-updates contain important processor-bugfixes) => this update should be available at the Update Manager too. Note: Both flavours LMDE(2) - Mint 18.2 offer the 'intel-microcode' package through synaptic.

Either the LMDE(2)-version should have the Driver Manager too - as the Driver-Manager is a nice tool giving the user the comfort to see all his installed drivers in one place (without the other update noise) in the preferences (hardware section). Or it could be a better solution to have a drivers-section in the?Update?-Manager ((?Software Manager?) (with lmde(2/ 3) and Mint 18. 3) thus not splitting installation-relevant information into different pieces/locations. Cheers orcus. LMDE 2 handles drivers differently from Linux Mint 18.2. Driver Manager isn't available on LMDE 2 for that reason. The intel-microcode update in Driver Manager talks not about a package update, as the package isn't installed yet, and thus you didn't see it in Update Manager.

The high school scene, the shifting statements to police, the prejudices, the sketchy alibis, the scant forensic evidence — all of it leads back to the most basic questions: How can you know a person’s character? How can you tell what they’re capable of? In Season One of Serial, she looks for answers.

By installing intel-microcode your Linux Mint installation would during each boot update the processor's microcode. The same thing you can achieve by installing available BIOS update from your motherboard manufacturer; those updates generally also include processor microcode updates. That's what 'update' means in that context.
