Linux Mint Forums

It seems several have been successful using WoeUSB to make a bootable Windows USB on Linux. I have yet to make it work though. Easiest for me has been to use Windows USB creation tool on a Windows machine.

I've used Edge on Windows at work, and it does the job. But, I'm more used to using Firefox. Since we already have Chromium I don't see any need for Edge on Linux.

In my opinion... nope. Linux is not new to you, and neither is Linux Mint, so you cannot be a noob, even if you wanna be.

While I don't really know the answer to your question, I doubt that web-based apps use much, if any, less resources than local apps, since web browsers are one of the biggest resource hogs all by themselves. Since you have both installed and are in a position to do some experimenting, why not let us...

CPU is base clocked @ 130GHz and turbo's to 360GHz (4.5w (7w-max/3.5w-min)fan-less, dual core w/ hyper-threading)

What? Oh wait...must have forgotten the decimal point. Base 1.30GHz and turbo to 3.60GHz is more likely.

Some additional options include: AntiX - https://antixlinux.com/download/ BunsenLabs - https://www.bunsenlabs.org/installation.html It may also be possible to boot from a PLOP CD which can hand off to a USB flash drive for installing a larger distro, but that probably won't work well on a 20GB HDD a...

I'm using a Xerox Phaser 6022 color laser printer connected to network with ethernet cable. It's working well as network printer with both Linux and Windows computers on the network. Never could get wireless printing to work with it though, not that I care about that anyway. But I suspect most anyth...

If you are using a DVD-RW, I've found that they are harder for a worn optical drive to read. Before giving up, it might be fun to try a DVD-R if you have one on hand. Or even go back to my original suggestion of booting with a PLOP disk so you can do the install from a USB flash drive. I've used tha...

Linux Mint Debian Edition still supports 32-bit CPU, but the Main Edition based on Ubuntu does not. Ubuntu has discontinued 32-bit support. Of course you could still install Mint 19.3 32-bit, it will be supported until 2023.

Well...there's your answer.

Another option could be to boot a CD with PLOP that will give the ability to install from USB. However, I doubt that you will be able to install a 64-bit OS on a Pentium 4 CPU, aren't they all 32-bit only? I would think most system boards limited to 2GB RAM would not support a 64-bit OS either.

The problem is that you are using Linux Mint 20 which is based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fosssa, and the PPA you are trying to use does not support this version of Ubuntu. At least that is what I get from the error message posted.

On the rare occasion when I need to do local development, I'm currently using Local by Flywheel , which is easy to set up and use. However, in the past I've also used the much more popular XAMPP , which is a little more involved, but if one is using it often enough to become familiar, it should be e...

Yeah, it's pretty much hidden after install since WINE is not an application. Here is a good how to on installing and using WINE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

So, the newer version puts a watermark on your document after you edit it?

Only when using the free version. The paid version does not.

I didn't have to declare a password in Win10. Can I shut off the password in LM20?

You do know that's one of the top reasons it's so easy to run malware on a Windows computer, right? And that pesky password is one of the things that makes a Linux machine more secure.

Meh... it's just what one is used to. I've been using Linux for a few years now, but still use Windows at work. And to me, because I'm used to Linux and spend more time with it that Windows, I find Windows to be overly complicated compared to what I'm used to.

I've found that write once disks work best. DVD-RW seems to give worn drives more trouble.

Did you burn disk as data or iso?

Oh, I see. See if this thread answers your question: viewtopic.php?t=250336
