Linux Mint Forums

Teamviewer has been working wonderfully on my machine (and smart phone and tablets) for over 5 years.

Save yourself some beginner "struggle" and try Teamviewer.

I suspect the solution to your "problem" does not lie in the field of technology or computers...

I've been a Linux-only user since 2005 and only a year ago started using a VPN. Any arguments that "If you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide"...I will disregard. I will never go back to NOT using a VPN if I have a choice. You can either defend your liberty, or you can lay on the tracks.

Bluetooth support gets better with every release. It would be funny if the day comes when Bluetooth works perfectly with Linux/Ubuntu/Mint/etc...and Bluetooth then fades away as a dominant technology (i.e. - FireWire) Yes, I know...people still use FireWire...you don't have to give me your anecdotal...

I would build a monster Threadripper based system for audio/visual production.

Have you tried a different USB cable?

You would still need permission to use trademarked and copywrite material aside from what is covered under the GPL...

You clearly do not understand what Canonical develops, writes, supports etc...and what Snaps are.

I've always appreciated the hard work the GIMP team puts out...and it keeps on getting better.

I'm an amateur musician/multi-instrumentalist and I do all my audio production under Linux. Proprietary audio production software can be expensive and licensing can be daunting...that's why I'm glad Linux is a viable candidate for people like me. Most of my projects are done using Ubuntu 18.04 Mate ...

Started dual booting in 2003. Wiped all Windows installs in 2005...been running nothing but Linux since then. Any new machine I get with Windows installed gets an immediate wipe...all partitions, including recovery partitions. It can be done, you just need resolve. If it can't be done in Linux, I'm ...

One thing that I would like to mention about my management of over 800,000 files is that I keep zero files on my desktop. In fact I keep zero links or files on my desktop because in the Zen method, my desktop is my refuge from the world. When I look at my desktop, I do not want to see anything that...

Mac + AppleCare

Who gets prompted for updates "several times per day"?

While I often tell beginners not to be too hasty in overwriting their Windows parrtitions I haven't had any WIndows for years. No, I don't miss it a bit. But I'm not a gamer. If I had a nickel for every new forum member that rolled in, breathing fire and cursing Windows (complete with dollar sign s...

What does Google take from you? Everything they possibly can. And then they find every possible way to make money off of it. What I do on the internet, as just one example, is none of Google's business, or anybody else's. The contents of my emails is none of Google's business, or anybody else's. Ev...

I would hope not.

I put all my passwords in plain text in a text file. Then I put the text file in a folder and encrypt the folder. So the only password I really have to remember from memory is the encryption key. I typically email myself the folder, or have it on cloud storage so I can pull it down to any new machin...

The OP has over 200 posts here and has to ask how to create a sub folder? My spidey sense is tingling. You'd be surprised. A friend of mine has been using PC's since the late 90's and doesn't know how to compress a file...use the "Find" feature and couldn't tell you the difference between a file ma...

wow absque fenestri - it sounds like you have no computer

Microsoft would have you believe there's no computing experience outside Windows.

They're wrong.
