Using kernel module ntfs3 can cause file system corruption of any mounted NTFS drive.

In Linux kernels from 5.15 the kernel module ntfs3 can be used when mounting external NTFS drives, in stead of using ntfs-3g. But the ntfs3 kernel module can cause file system corruption, see "Ntfs3 driver keeps corrupting ntfs filesystem on a HDD" and "Concerns Raised Over The "...

Re: Impossible to resume from suspend with Nvidia GT 710

In these fstab lines I use specific ntfs-3g to mount my external hard drives, because I think that using ntfs-3g is better than using ntfs only. It doesn't matter whether mounting external hard drives by using UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /mnt/Elements ntfs nofail,defaults,x-gvfs-show 0 0 or by using /dev/...

I also suffer from this problem, could it be that the Nvidia GT 710 has a buggy APCI implementation?

Re: [SOLVED] NVIDIA driver failing sometimes on boot ("no hardware acceleration")

Thanks for mentioning this fix, I installed Linux Mint 20.1 Xfce and with my Nvidia GT 710 graphics card I also suffered from this problem that my system booted into a low resolution of 640x480 73 Hz without properly loading of the Nvidia drivers. I have installed nvidia-driver-465.

Tweaking 20-intel.conf for maximal gaming and video performance.

Many cheaper laptops are equipped with an Intel video chip. The config file 20-intel.conf is located in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

Which settings and options within the 20-intel.conf file are necessary to obtain a maximum performance for gaming and watching videos?

I only hope that python-is-python3 package doesn't mess up anything else. Not my area, so I'm not sure.
Or simply run in the terminal

Code: Select all

python3 youtube-dl
if you are not sure whether

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install python-is-python3
will cause problems in the future.
