[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.16 Installation on Linux Mint

[Mike Flannigan]

Those instructions are what brought up this issue.
Apparently
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://qgis.org/debian `lsb_release -c -s` 
main"
is good for Ubuntu, but not Linux Mint.  For LM use this instead:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://qgis.org/debian bionic main"

Right now I am using QGIS quite a bit and I can't do with out.
When I get a break I will try to get the QGGIS version 3.16
on the LM Software Manager to install.  If that doesn't work I
will follow the QuickStart procedure modified to bionic.

I have used those QuickStart procedures successfully in the past.
