PLease generate a better system overview, copy/paste this to the terminal and copy/paste the text output here:
Did you try reverting the kernel as mentioned in that bugzilla? That's a change you can easily revert back.

@Unclefred If you want a very simple text editor with the toolbar look at 'leafpad' in the repositories. +1 on leafpad, I've been using it as my simple text editor for so long I can't even remember what the default one is with any Mint DE. It doesn't install any dependencies, it's very, very fast, ...

Ok. Now I placed it on my desktop, renamed it to 'Krita' and launch it from there.
But then it's not possible to get it as an icon in the dock?

It may be but I don't use dockers as such and I doubt it. You can't get appimages to integrate with the desktop environment the way normal ones do.

The tutorials you have seen are most probably for older Xmind versions, which have .deb installation file: http://www.xmind.net/download/previous/ In the link just below the Download button for 8 edition is explained that there are some user interface issues with Ubuntu 16.04 (on which Linux Mint 1...

That explains a lot. Thank you. Yes that's the name of the file I downloaded. What does 'integrate Krita to the desktop' mean? Is it the same than in Mac OS dragging a program to the applications folder? And how do I integrate Krita? Well, Linux is like OS X in a lot of ways because they're both Un...

If only malware detection was that easy........

...if only AV was ever the 'solution'...

Yet another user things malware = viruses. I know Windows users who've had their email account phished and can't understand why their account is buggered up because they have Norton Utilities.

Don't know about the other things but if you plan on running Linux, as it is right now, DO NOT buy an AMD graphics card. Radeon drivers are not supported from 17 onward.

Blame AMD, its up to them.

Rubbish, they may not be the best supported cards in Linux but they ARE supported.

There definitely seems to be a bug there:

I can't find anything specific and I'm not much good with HP printers but see this maybe:

Try installing pavucontrol from software manager or synaptic package manager and then test the sound with that.

OK, I need to get back to work, I feel that some answers are missing on some questions I asked. Instead you are laughing. :-( And a new one: Would it be secure to use inside Documents, Pictures ...? You got a perfectly straghtforward answer, don't do this in /home, ever. Note that Documents and Pic...

Mint 19 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic) and they seem to be having troubles with the bionic version of nitroshare: https://github.com/nitroshare/nitroshare-desktop/issues/196 https://github.com/nitroshare/nitroshare-desktop/issues/201 There's apparently a bleeding edge version but if they're havin...

just wondering, in terms of hardware support, will and older kernel such as the one used in mint get new support backported so that the same hardware is equally supported in the mint kernel in say one year as in the brand new kernel (say version 4.19) will have in july 2019?... No, there's no guara...

It does depend on the DE version but generally if you right click a file you want to open with LO you should be able to click on "open with something else" or similar. Hit that and tell it to open with LO, and the next time you right click a file of the same type LO should come up on the list of apps.

It looks like Prime is OK at 1080p with a supported browser. Netflix - appear to be firmly in bed with Microsoft if Edge is the only browser that supports 4K....potentially not a surprise - Netflix CEO is a former Microsoft Board member and there are rumours that Microsoft will one-day buy Netflix....

How about a non newbie review?

... I've checked the graphics card driver and everything seems fine. 2D, 3D and direct rendering are working as they should. ... How did you check the graphics? Many things people use as benchmarks/tests for this aren't actually meaningful. It may say you have direct rendering in your inxi output b...

He didn't ask for your xorg.conf, he asked for the text output of inxi -Fxz. Hint: in Linux you have to really read the directions, not sort of.

I think you're confusing Mint 18.3 with Ubuntu 18.04. Mint is Ubuntu based but they're different too, and there's no Mint 18.4 release.

Even if you completely remove a software package the hidden config files in /home are still there. IMO that's a feature, not a bug. If I decide to reinstall the program later I don't have to reconfig it.

this unknown operation for me and I'm afraid to damage my system with an attempt to apply this patch. If you install that kernel and strike problems, you're essentially on your own for fixing it.... Agreed, that sounds like a really bad idea ... you don't understand it, and the word 'hack' appears ...
