Linux Mint mirror and apt archive from Iran — mirror.rasanegaar.com/linuxmint/

Linux Mint mirror (apt archive) — For Linux Mint updates in Iran, Rasanegaar Mirror keeps Mint and Ubuntu repos close to your desktops.

## About

Linux Mint is a popular Ubuntu-based desktop — Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce plus Mint’s own packages ride on the Ubuntu archive. Every `apt update` moves real traffic.
Smooth updates need both Mint and Ubuntu repos reachable; without a nearby mirror, installs and upgrades from abroad drag.

## Mirror in Iran

The Linux Mint mirror in Iran at `mirror.rasanegaar.com/linuxmint` serves the same repo layout; the Ubuntu mirror on the same host is already live.
Until the Mint tree is fully live, this page keeps the target URL and connection steps ready.

## Configuration

1. Back up your APT sources.
2. Point Mint APT sources at the Rasanegaar Mint mirror:
   ```
   https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/linuxmint
   ```
3. On Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04 base) and newer, sources are usually DEB822 under this directory — set Ubuntu URIs to the Rasanegaar mirror too:
   ```
   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
   ```
   ```
   https://mirror.rasanegaar.com/ubuntu
   ```
4. On older releases, classic `sources.list` is common — replace Ubuntu hosts with `mirror.rasanegaar.com`:
   ```
   /etc/apt/sources.list
   ```
   ```
   mirror.rasanegaar.com
   ```
5. Refresh package indexes:
   ```
   sudo apt update
   ```

## Updates

Linux Mint updates in Iran against the local mirror usually finish faster than official mirrors — especially when both Mint and Ubuntu pull from the same host.
After switching, keep your normal APT routine; only the package origin changed.
