Re: Can this be a security concern?

These are mostly desktop related.

Re: Call the next release - Mint 24

If I buy a new car I would prefer a 2024 above an equal 2022.

Check the operation of the newly added Menu icon for favorites, places, recent You can remove the unresponsive menu applet by right-click...

Re: NEMO, cut a file, open folder to paste > and it disapeared

I noticed this once and I believe I was using 20 beta at the time.
I think I used ctrl+z and nemo undid the cut. Once bitten-twice shy though,
so mostly irreplaceable files are copy/paste/verified before deleting the source.

Re: Call the next release - Mint 24

This has probably already been discussed but I couldn't find it, so here goes.. The next Mint release is going to be based on Ubuntu 24.04. So why not just call it Mint 24 instead of Mint 22 ? Not just ubuntu, but Libreoffice and probably others have also adopted this naming scheme. I know it's jus...

Re: Failed to download info from repository

Sometimes repositories are down for maintenance.
Best strategy is wait a while and try again.
Otherwise you can select different sources

Re: How do I know if I'm ready to permanently switch to Linux Mint?

Even when 'permanently' switching to Mint most keep a win install available.
Eventually and hopefully you will not need to boot the win partition again--but it's no

Re: How do I know if I'm ready to permanently switch to Linux Mint?

for newcomers that like to dabble I suggest a double basic install on two side by side partitions. If you butcher one partition you have a fall back They can both be your favorite desktop--or even mixed with one of the others. Keep this partition freshly updated, but no other modifications, nothing ...

Works here as well. Give an example of files/directories that do not offer the context menu 'Show in File Manager' This sounds like config problems.
