Re: fractional scaling in Mint 20

a quick workaround for the moment: Scaling at 100%, but: generally for LM: Font selection -> Text scaling factor changed to 1.3 Font size: 11 (all) For Firefox: about:config -> layout.css.devPixelsPerPx change to 1.3 It's better but I'm not satisfied yet... (btw... the installation was flawless!) W...

Re: Opening certain sites leads to crackling on audio

Hi gibbs1984 and exxonin. I have a somewhat usual fix for crackling audio but I am not certain it will help in your cases. This fix is normally for those with crackling audio at all times, but your cases are unique. It's entirely reversible so we should try it anyway. In the terminal enter xed admi...

Re: Window is only apparently maximized

The workaround by smurphos (big buttons) gives you just a bigger "x" but unfortunately does not solve the annoying problem.

EDIT:
Steps to reproduce the bug: see OP.

I'm confused. If it is already existing, how do you launch the Gnome desktop from Cinnamon Mint?
Login-out? Or rebooting? :D

Re: Cinnamon 3.8.x and later - Mint 19.x and 20.x Additional Window Borders / Metacity Themes

Hi!
Is this workaround for the actual LM Cinnamon version still applicable?

Thanks!

EDIT: it works (I'm testing Mint-Y-Dark-BB)

Re: Install Gnome on LM 20.2 Cinnamon

It is perfectly possible to install the Gnome desktop environment in addition to Cinnamon without breaking anything. I have Gnome installed in addition to Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, and Xfce, as I like to change things up once in a while. (That said, I do find that I prefer using Cinnamon on a day-to-da...

Install Gnome on LM 20.2 Cinnamon

Hi, I would like to install gnome (3.30, version provided in Synaptic) alongside cinnamon and be able to use both of them. This means: without breaking my system. A few questions: - are there conflicts between the two desktops (settings, etc.) or are they completely independent? - is it somehow poss...

Re: Window "X" button (close window)

As a workaround, do you have an idea how to get an "easy clickable" X-button?

Window is only apparently maximized

A question regarding windows and windows buttons (close window “X” in particular) in Cinnamon: Am I the only one, that gets often windows that are apparently maximized but in fact they are not? It is matter of 1-2mm.. not more. That would be not a huge problem… if it would not be tricky to get the “...

Re: USB - Ethernet adapter

You are really a gifted joker: first you mock how expensive the adapter I presented is, then you buy a more expensive one - because without card reader - and then complain that HDMI does not work... Honestly - why did you not buy a cheapo cheapo piece on the usual sales platforms? Or one recommende...

USB - Ethernet adapter

My Lenovo Ideapad S340 has no LAN socket. I can only connect to the internet through wlan. Bad. But I have read I could buy a USB - Gigabit Ethernet adapter 10/100/1000 (eventually 2500). Do you have any experience with it? Any suggestion for a model, that works out of the box with linux ? USB C wou...
