Try again. You mistyped. If you just copy and paste the command, you will eliminate such errors.

Re: Is a nondestructive reinstall possible?
Is it possible to non-destructively install a new, fresh copy of mint over the existing one without losing my personal files or home folder? Yes, as long as your Home is on it's own separate partition. If Home is on the root partition, then back up Home to your data drive, install fresh Mint (which...

Re: Is it safe to install and use GNOME DE in Linux Mint 19.3?
Depends on what you mean by safe. It probably can be done, but certainly is not advised to do so. It will almost certainly cause problems, but you may have the skills to overcome those problems, or may not. Best advice if you want a good Gnome experience, just install a distribution that feature Gno...

Re: Thumbdrive between Mint & Win10?
I use Windows 10 at work, Linux at home, and often use the same USB stick on both machines. Now that you mention it, Windows does often complain about a possibly corrupt USB drive. I used to be concerned about it, and looking for ways to prevent it from happening. Now I just ignore the warnings and ...

Re: Asked 3 times for pwd & can't get rid of login window
I won't claim to know much of anything about this situation, but was thinking that maybe when gnome-shell was installed it pulled in a different display manager than the Cinnamon default, and is now the manager in use. You may be able to fix your issue by switching back to the original display manag...

Re: Newb to all things Linux
Welcome! As you are already finding, today's Linux isn't really much different from the Mac or Windows desktop experience. Depending on your work flow, 3GB RAM could be enough, but if you find that your machine is constantly using the swap file, it might be worthwhile to look into increasing the RAM.

Meh... just out of curiosity, I was going to take a look in a VM, but the iso would not boot. Gave up.

Re: Bundle Pinta instead of Drawing
I still use Pinta often and don't recall ever having it crash on me. It does, however, often take a really long time to switch between edit modes. I don't know what's up with that, but it's the one flaw I most often notice.

Re: Which distro do you use as a daily driver?
Kubuntu on the desktop. MX-Linux on a laptop. Debian with KDE on another laptop.
These are the only ones that can be called "daily drivers". I also have a computer in my shop that runs PepperMint, and a LMDE laptop on my desk that gets used once or twice a week.

Re: Change to Mint's own Xfce.
As far as I know, Mint does not have a Mint specific XFCE desktop. The reason I did what I did on LMDE is because Mint only offers LMDE in a Cinnamon edition, so if one wants XFCE, one must make their own. With the Ubuntu based Mint, the team does offer an edition featuring the Xfce desktop , so it'...

Re: Change to Mint's own Xfce.
Ah, I see. I've done something similar recently with LMDE. Installed XFCE enable Whisker Menu and removed all things Cinnamon.

I suppose if you want to keep both Cinnamon and XFCE, you could just do the same without removing Cinnamon.

Re: Mint 20 Wifi slower than in Windows with Panda Wireless PAU09
Alright, look atchew! I knew my driver suggestion was suspect from the start. I've also heard of others having issues with 3.1 USB ports, and 3.0 ports also for other things. Anyway, good going.

Re: Change to Mint's own Xfce.
So do I understand you right? That you have added XFCE to an existing Linux Mint Cinnamon installation?
