What do you mint users like about mint?

I like I didn't not notice it presence.

In Mozilla style their main goal is to move some controls from one side of the screen to another. This time everithing was moved from top to the bottom. Well. What else?
Without add-ons this Firefox is useless and have no any sense.

I have 3 LM 19.2 installed onto 3 different PC with very different hardware. No delay. All 3 shutdowns in 5 seconds.

Brian Lunduke thinks that Microsoft transitioning into a Linux Kernel might not be pure science fiction.

Who is Brian Lunduke? Googling few seconds... There is the answer: he is yeat another author and technology journalist. One from million.
So, what matter what he think about anything?

Is it good enough to be your one and only?

It is risky to have one and only. For example, one day after updates it stops boot exactly when you need to work and what you will do? I prefer two hdd with two different distros installed and upgrated.
To be honest, LM never failed for me for 5 years.

I had the same problem yesterday. I made brief googling and found the reason and the solution. Short reason is: new version of tor browser launcher required because they had some problem with keys. As usual, new version of tor browser launcher never arrive in repos quickly. So, yesterday there was 2...

Do you agree and what do you think?

Not much, but only one: too many posts like "Linux Mint Should Die" last few months from those who joined 2 hours ago especially to ask that. Bored.

A Mint fully based upon Debian would allow its users the freedom to stick with a Stable release not subject to constant breakage from an upstream Ubuntu base. You are already free to install everything, Debian based, you want. It is nice to read you are brave enough to think what is best for anothe...

Microsoft Edge might come to Linux

What is Microsoft Edge? Is it yet another Chromium clone? Chromium is already in Linux.

So at 3 bits a second a 100 kb picture would take 9-1/4 hours to down load?

No! Not 9.25 hours. 74 hours to download. 100 kb means 100 kiloBYTES, not 100 kiloBITS

"After profiling the target’s memory, we show how RAMBleed can leak secrets stored within the target’s physical memory, achieving a read speed of about 3–4 bits per second," the paper said.

OMG! Single secret photo of my cat will be read for about 2 months.

On Windows it fixed itself after about 24 hours.

Windows 7 - not. Any other Linux - not.

A day and a half has passed... I hope that those idiots who was involved this accident are already fired but still there is no general fix.
What expired certificates are we talking about?

Strangely ... The "Broken Addons in FireFox" DOES NOT appear to be happening in FireFox installed on "Windows 10 Pro" ... I have 4 of these systems running. The "Broken Addons in FireFox" IS happening in FireFox on all of my "Linux Mint 19.1"s ... I have 3 of these systems running. Happened in Andr...

Don't panic. It is a Mozilla bug. Answer is: The Add-ons team is working on a fix for this. It looks like a certificate used to sign many popular extensions expired. (The verification process checks that certificate.) I don't know how soon re-signed versions of those extensions will become available...
