... It's a well known Application, so PPA should be O.K ... It's a well klnown app, but there are tons of well known apps that are not properly maintained. This is as much of a concern for me with ppas or tarballs as security. There's not a hope in hell I'd use backup software (or anything else sys...

... there's a Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 512MB GDDR3 AGP in my Dell Dimension 8300.... I had a 3xxx series AMD video card lose all 3D video hardware acceleration in Ubuntu 12.04, so I very much doubt you'll have that in ANY currently supported Linux. So I'd avoid Cinnamon. That needs hardware accelera...

... the person in that video explains how he had issues with an apparently older HD TV with his Nintendo Switch .... Sounds like yet another ill informed YT Linux video. Putting support for DRM and HDCP in the kernel isn't the same thing as putting the DRM code in. The latter would make no sense.

... Ubuntu 18.04 Mate has a "minimal" install done the wrong way....

Ubuntu Minimal and Ubuntu Mate are two different things.

Yes, it's a typical Linux beginner issue. No, you shouldn't disable passwords or replace them with just one character unless you WANT to be hacked. Windows could solve much of the virus problem by simply requiring the right password to install anything, like Linux and OS X do. Of course, WIndows tec...

Ok thanks I understand the idea of regulary prompt to be sure I'm the admin but is it normal that it also prompts each time I want to acces my HDs NTFS ? No, that sounds like a permission problem. Haven't had one of those but do a site specific search here for "permission problem" and there's lots ...

Not my area but what's the exact model name of the card? Also, with that card installed, paste the text output of ...
... and ...
... run in the terminal.

Using alien to convert .rpm to .deb format isn't actually very reliable BTW.

No useful system info there at all, paste the text output of inxi -Fxz run in the terminal.

cool, that worked. It just made me think whether its a good thing that my bash history is stored. Maybe i should try and delete it? Why would you want to delete that? a log of terminal command operations can save your butt. I keep that file and even move it to new installs. There are methods to rec...

... I highly doubt I'm the only one with this issue. ...

Maybe not but you're probably the only one here. I've never heard of that file format and frankly it looks pretty obscure. They do have their own forum: http://djvu.org/forum/

On a side note, why in the hell can't more Linux DEs enable you to lock the panel???? AFAIK only KDE has this. It's ridiculous. Xfce has it as well. Although if you're trying to change something on the panel, you'd have to unlock it anyway, then could end up in the same situation as the OP was. Hav...

... From memory I'd say this likely happened ONLY when switching controls TO Rhythmbox AND only if music isn't playing... or at least I don't remember it ever happened under different conditions..... So try it again and tell us if it's only Rhythmbox or not. If so, where did you get rhythmbox from ...

'T450' is pretty much useless info. Paste the text output of inxi -Fxz run in the terminal.

... I installed Mint 19.3 on a 10 year old computer that didn't run well with Windows 7 anymore....

WHY doesn't it run Windows 7 properly anymore?

As mentioned, read the stickies.

This is a recent guide ...

... but, as it says, it doesn't work all that well in Linux whatever you do. I wouldn't use it for business.

Avidemux is even simpler IMO, you can simply set it to Copy for the video stream and apply a gain/normalize filter to the audio stream. If it's 5.1 audio it may not be so simple.

The output you pasted contains this: The CPU of your computer (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz) does not support all features Anbox requires. Unless it's misidentified your cpu (paste the text output of inxi -Fxz) the problem seems pretty obvious. I don't know if there's a fix. I do see a...

This isn't really a Linux question. Garageband is a native Apple program so you can't run it in Linux. There;s no Windows version other than an old hacked version that never worked so you can't try it with Wine. You may be better off trying a different forum if you want to install it on OS X, which ...

Yeah, it's almost unreadable, and you can't copy/paste from screenshots so they're kinda useless and the info there isn't enough either. Paste the text output of inxi -Fxz run in the terminal.
