Mint has lost its identity
You know it sucks that Mint is slowly, but surely losing its identity. First it lost the iconic leaf icon, and now its familiar default green theme. What’s next, a black wallpaper with nothing on it? Mint dropping its mint X and Y themes in favor of adwaita icons and theme? Just dropping the name “m...

Re: Oddball bluetooth gamepad behavior (linux mint 21 cinnamon)
Oh, I disabled fast startup ages ago, but yes, maybe I will try a cold boot next time.
Edit: no, a cold boot didn't work, issue persists.

Re: Firefox future in Linux Mint
It's going to get to a point where Clem will have to make a decision about what takes more time/effort - repackaging major apps whenever Ubuntu decides to remove their debs, or just abandon Ubuntu altogether for Debian. I personally have no problem with snaps/flatpaks as an additional source of pac...

Re: Firefox future in Linux Mint
Well Firefox still uses other formats like tar.gz, so it may not be that hard to convert it to a Debian package.
Also could convert the Debian sid firefox too

Re: My RTX/turing card did not work on mint 20 without trickery
Well usually mint fixes issues found in ubuntu, this seems to be the opposite effect and maybe should have been tested more.
Thats the problem with timed releases where deadlines are set.
What makes it worse is that mint is targeted at new users while I had no such issues with ubuntu 20.04 main.

Re: Has anyone played around with MX Linux?
I use MX linux on my laptop, while i am not crazy about XFCE it does seem to be a good distro and has pretty good battery life.
On my desktop MX linux wasnt so good but I blame the nvidia drivers on that bit.

Re: Bye bye i386, Ubuntu is dropping all 32-bit support going forward
Technically, there will be absolutely no need for 32-bit software at all. Sigh I can understand dropping 32bit kernels and the like but there are a lot of drivers, software and other thigns that are 32bit only. Wine 64 doesnt work with 32bit apps so this sucks and is going to kill Ubuntu for good o...

Re: 32bit multilib support in the future
So that is some hope at least.
But yes sadly this does mean the end for Linux mint on 32bit hardware, but if it means they will try to maintain multilib support i will take it.

Re: Bye bye i386, Ubuntu is dropping all 32-bit support going forward
...over-dramatic much? Surely it's simpler & more convenient to just use a (disposable as well) container, instead of...changing distro? Plus, Mint 20 still has a year until it gets released... Well i still like to use emulators such as PCSX2, if I want play station 2 emulation its either switc...

Re: Bye bye i386, Ubuntu is dropping all 32-bit support going forward
Me i am probably going to switch distros. especially ones with multilib like arch or even debian.
LMDE here I come!
Its sad when even arch which was the first major distro to drop 32bit support offers 32bit libs for those who need them for cool things like emulators and WINE

Re: Richard Stallman Gnu Fsf compliant respective Mint?
For me being total FSF compliant is a lesson in pain. Granted in general I make sure that my hardware is linux compliant but that doesnt mean every device I own is FSF compliant and yes i can make compromises especially in matters of what that hardware can do for me. I own a nvidia card, they only r...

Re: Flat 'Modern' GUI design and where it comes from (and reflections of Clems March 2019 blog post in relation to that)
For me i am against flat themes as they have become too common and seems like every app blends into the next. Its one thing to want uniformity its another to make it dull and boring.
