From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don’t think this new design will be used in Linux Mint by default. I believe this is just for distros that use Cinnamon’s default theme, which is different from Linux Mint’s default theme.
But who knows, maybe it could also become default in Linux Mint.
First sentence of the article
"new default Cinnamon theme coming to Linux Mint 22.1 later this year."
It says that in the 9to5Linux article, not the original source. The blog post simply says "becomes ready for inclusion in the next version of Cinnamon."
Not to say that the 9to5Linux article is wrong since Linux Mint very well could ship the new theme as an option, but not the default theme.
