Linux Mint Forums

I find it bewildering that stuff like that can actually happen. One would think that there would be some kind of a mechanism that would prevent programs from making the system unresponsive. Don't want unresponsive system? Mechanism already exists. Never use 10yo junks today and upgrade your system.

Every downloadable Firefox version is just archived directory "firefox". Extract it in ~ and that's all about installation.

Reading the title I think it is about some new album called "Black Holes" from "Gamma Ray" group that breaks sales record

Great save after his very bad play as defender. He MUST to kick the ball outside the field, not pass it directly to forvard's foot.

Tell me in what ways Mint will make my computer time more enjoyable, interesting, easier . . . whatever!

Who knows what should made YOUR computer more enjoyable, e.t.c. For you.

That's really basically the same explanation I have read often before on this forum: be careful what software you install and what websites you visit. Dont go walking into dark alleyways... Yes. There is no differences between "good" software, "bad" software (and ugly, of course). Everything is jus...

Thanks for posting that link Philotux. It will keep me on guard. The article doesnt offer any particular advice for protection though, besides the warning not to download unknown files that are given root access. Try click on clickable word "Skidmap" inside article. Then you can read original techn...

There is 2019. Сongratulations to the author!
He finally understood the difference between desktops and servers OS

Yep, got that but keep in mind that,

Since system files are not affected, Linux systems are running normally

IS a direct quote from the article from the fossbytes article...DAMIEN

Yes, I see!
But there was a much clearer way to explain importance to have a backup of documents.

Working system but with destroyed documents is called reduced ransomware attack :-/

But here is the real kicker - when I told them I would be glad to install Mint on the new laptop they related to me they had asked about getting the laptop with Linux installed and were told by the sales person that the laptop that they needed was way "too powerful for linux" What's wrong? It's true.

I am willing to bet we shall not see that at all. Just like nobody here complains about Bleachbit. Well, except one.

Mint is still King - no one doubts.

Maybe others have not had the same problems. I can only repeat what I found to be the case with my own specific setup.

Undoubtedly too.

I'm thinking Linux would be much harder to penetrate than Windows, if the base system was a solid security distro like Qubes, Parrot, or Tails.

Never heard somebody ask ransom for encrypted system, only for encrypted documents. Well, what the magical forces and who secure your "/home/you" ?

But I am wondering WHY MX-Linux is the most "viewed" distro right now? And you clicked on it too? Great! Congratulation, their popularity rised by 1. Next clicker, come in, please. But last time you ever click on Mint was few years ago. Guess why? Because you don't need to do this, your Mint alread...

4.14 is going to be great, sooo great it is going to do all your work for you and you won't even have to check it.

Is 4.14 a single big button at the center of the screen "make all my work perfectly"?

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.
