Linux Mint Forums

I don't see any compelling reason to use something like Manjaro over Mint, or even Ubuntu Studio over Mint. Ubuntu Studio doesn't have anything that you can't install in regular Ubuntu anyway. Personally I think Ardour is probably the best Linux DAW. However, you're going to have potential trouble w...

Expect more such joys now that Microsoft owns GitHub.

It'd be happening no matter who owned it, the action was taken by the RIAA. MS had nothing to so with it.

While you often hear that you should use the fastest mirrors, that's not consistent enough to be really useful. I just use the main mirror, it's reliable. Plus not all mirrors have all the packages. Dicking around with that and doing speed tests for mirrors arguably takes more time than just selecti...

Actually streaming downloaders have always stopped working sometimes, streaming sites don't like people using them so they change protocols all the time. However, with Github being forced to remove youtube-dl, the situation seems to be getting worse.

... Is there any reason why it has been not put in Software section as it talks about Linux Mint webapp-manager software ? .... Ummm, because you state you're running Debian, not Mint, with Gnome Shell, which isn'\t supported by Mint? If you're having thisd much trouble with the Debian user forums,...

I would also recommend Xfce, but I do want to point out that when you install LM19.3, the default kernel is 5.0 which is no longer supported. I've seen people post on the forum with video related issues and they were still running 5.0 which lost support in July 2019. The issues went away when they ...

The best ClamAV settings in Linux? Uninstalling it. You don't need AV software in Linux because you'd have to be a complete idiot to write viruses for Linux. Seriously, it has a very protected kernel space and a very small user base. WHy would you bother? Clam is only meant for Linux email servers t...

You should really post LMDE support questions in the LMDE section of this forum. Debian isn't Ubuntu and you will get answers for Ubuntu based Mint that won't work in LMDE. It may not matter for a Cinnamon related question but if you're talking about network connectivity per se it probably would.

... @Hoser Rob how can you say that? It was very useful for me and I do not think I am the only one who uses a low powered PC to see if the Linux claim "we run on the oldest machines and the lowest spec hardware" holds water. In fact the processor is ideal for Linux and you can get everything from ...

Using XFCE, would that be a fresh install? Ideally yes. Installing more than one desktop will often cause problems and they're difficult to fix, so you'd end up reinstalling anyway. ... would it be smart to install a much older version of Mint to reduce the load on the CPU and RAM? ... No, a much o...

... --I sincerely mean no insult when I say this, but trying to fight anti spying be it a Microsoft product and/or facebook-involved product is as futile as trying to physically out-swim a dolphin that isn't injured what so ever or out run a mountain lion when he or she is already within 50 feet of...

DO other stations' URLs work?

... Is there any linux programmer who ever thinks about user-friendliness?! ... Of course. But open source projects are made up of people who havce other jobs, they don't have all the time in the world. And the whole idea of open source software is basically computer programmers making software for...

Not good news but xorg is a bit of a mess and has been for a while. I mean, don't the nvidia proprietary gpu drivers basically replace the xorg stack?

Putting in inxi -G output is great but you should actually post complete inxi -Fxz output. But. That's an Intel G33 card and it came out in 2007. If you're using Mint 20 with kernel 5.4 or greater I'm not surprised you have gpu issues. Later versions of Linux (>= the 5.0 kernel) lopped off a lot of ...

... Using Manjaro KDE. I know these are the Mint forums, but they don't appear to know what the problem is over at the manjaro forums. ... Actually they probably do, you just don't know how to ask the question probably. As mentiuoned this is a Mint forum. However, if you're having so little luck at...

... They all use the same software They all use the same update manager They all use the same package manager ... LMDE doesn't. As mentioned just dl the 3 DE versions of regular Mint and test them via booting them from a USB stick. Iwouldn't recommend LMDE to newbies. The main issue, in practical t...

Programming is really math ... they're called computers for a reason. Understanding the algorithms is the main thing. The language/syntax is actually secondary to this.

... Here is the download page of LG for OnScreen Control, with no executable file for any Linux: https://www.lg.com/us/support/software-firmware-drivers

I wouldn't have expected one, I know of no TV mfr with Linux support. Searching the topic for Linux doesn't give me anything.

This would probably happen whoever owned Github. And while I don't really agree in principle the RIAA is fully within their rights to to this. This is a longstanding thing, and it's largely why all the DVD authoring software like Devede stinks. There's just not that much incentive for developers to ...
