Linux Mint Forums

So like I said above, why change to a more recent and supported screensaver We did. It the current Cinnamon lock screen. Things like xscreensaver no longer exist as far as I know. They are no longer needed with modern monitors and most people don't want them. They serve no purpose other than using ...

Having spent a number of years with the Mint project, I'd say the number one goal is to attempt to provide a constantly evolving and improved version of Mint for Mint users. The second would probably be to try and provide a quality desktop version of Linux to those 5% of people actually interested i...

Installing Gtk4 shouldn't affect your gtk2 and 3 installs at all. They should all be parallel installable.

Excellent! Thanks for the info


Surely wouldn’t it be better to replace a program which isn’t working rather than remove parts of its key functionality

To be fair, support for the ancient and unsupported xscreensavers is hardly key functionality.

As alluded to by Smurphos. Adwaita no longer contains a metacity/window border theme. That's why it displays that way.

Is there any plans to fix scaling issues on 4K monitors because the way it is now is horrible? Some apps won't scale when double the scaling. Font too small. Although I'll probably be reamed for lecturing instead of helping the answer here is likely no. Both Cinnamon and Mate support HiDPI quite we...

of the items that are missing when one rightclicks the desktop with the icons hidden "create launcher here" is the one that should always be there No it shouldn't. A launcher would be a desktop icon. You chose to shut them off so the option isn't going to be there. There is nothing that needs to be...

As far as #1. Have you ever tried that? It's works in all mutter based DE's. That means Elementary, Budgie, Gnome-shell, etc.

Last time I tried it, the performance of it is extremely bad. Bad enough that I'm surprised it was actually shipped working like it is.

If you decide to edit them, use inkscape.

Oh wow. That's a very niche use case Glad you found a way around it.

I highly doubt this will ever be implemented. There would have to be a really good reason.

The other pathbar can be accessed in the Gtk file chooser/saver by using Ctrl+L over the window.

I'd like to point out that Mint devs do occasionally read threads here I'd also like to point out that I see zero useful info being given in this one. It sounds like a rant plain and simple. Nothing we can actually use to help improve things.

I often have multiple DE's installed for testing purposes with no issue. I've never tried mixing KDE and Cinnamon but have seen people report issues with doing so on several occasions. If the plan is to install KDE and get rid of the original desktop, I personally would start with something besides ...

Do you by chance have support for indicators enabled in System settings->General? If you do, try turning it off. I use shutter all the time and I've not seen the issue.

No. There are no plans for a Mate edition. This has been stated many times on the blog and probably talked about here a good bit.

Open a terminal and try That setting was added specifically for working around issues with the background in vbox. Hopefully that helps.

Per monitor scaling currently isn't possible. It's a limitation of X11. It's one of the supposed advantages of moving to Wayland but that also brings other issues. May I ask what the "Auto" scaling option is for? I have a 4k screen and setting it to "Normal" or "Auto" seem to be the same. Nothing a...

This .. and the fact that a significant proportion of these people will simply go out and buy a new computer when it stops working, rather than fix it or actually reinstall the OS. One of the most sane things said in this thread. Most people don't care what OS they are running. They also have zero ...
