Linux Mint Forums

I'd like to thank two people whose recent helping hints in the Networking forum to another user (see this thread ) just resolved a similar and very pesky situation for me. This morning, suddenly none of my Linux clients at home could connect to my network router, even though they worked fine yesterd...

Well, according to data I just made up five minutes ago, OS usage in my household is 50% Android-Linux, 25% Mac OS X, and 25% GNU+Linux. And that of my household, with the same anecdotal accuracy: 30% OS X 35% iOS 25% GNU+Linux (pretty much all me, except when my child and I play a round of Open Ar...

For older machines : Lubuntu . It almost went on my Lenovo Ideapad, to be honest, but Mint Xfce's richer feature set won out ever so slightly. For newer machines : I might play with Manjaro XFCE . I've become somewhat fond of XFCE these past couple of years, thanks to my experience with Mint Xfce; ...

I've always had OEM systems, but one day I want to build my own computer. Fred ... I imagine this for you If I had something like that, I wouldn't know whether I should be looking at the screen or the case window. :) I'll admit that I had fun spec'ing out and building a PC from scratch once upon a ...

Hello all 32 Bit-System users just wanted to start something similar. Fortunately I found this already existing topic. Many thanks also to the system and kernel developers. I enjoy repairing old computers and reuse so-called electrical and electronic waste. And such parts sometimes need 32-bit syst...

I prefer port accessibility.

Funny thing is, so do I. I'm like Gary Numan. I dream of wires.

I bet the final setup will be quite nice. Are you thinking about keeping it on the desk for port accessibility, or mounting it to the back of the monitor to reduce clutter? There are some NUC vendors that sell VESA mounts for that purpose; System76's Meerkat includes a matching VESA mount for free.

I voted "rarely." That's from a personal-usage standpoint. At work, though, the workstations and most of the servers are Windows-based. I do tend to one Linux server at work-- a Fedora Core 14 VM, running MySQL. At home, except for one old self-built XP machine that I keep around for occasional gigg...

It's since bounced back slighly to approximately $8000 USD, which is where it was when the roller coaster ride started late last year. It's an interesting concept from a programming standpoint, and DLT/blockchain could have much wider use, but Bitcoin itself has become way too volatile for use as ei...

Try Unixstickers.com . They ship globally, and feature plenty of Linux and BSD distros, including Mint, as well as some dev/programming logos and the occasional Rage Comic meme. If you want to see their Mint badge, click here . There's also a Linux Mint logo T-shirt, although I admit that the ones a...

Although I had toyed with a Live DVD of Ubuntu 10.04 way back when, I didn't start using Linux regularly until the summer/fall of 2014. I had acquired a small handful of used desktops and laptops from my wife's boss when that business shut down. Those computers were all running Enterprise or Profess...

As Drygar_2016 said earlier, I hope 2018 turns out better for all. By the way, I must say that Sydney and Moscow know how to put on a New Years' show. The Sydney Harbor Bridge is a great backdrop for a fireworks exhibition. And the colorful domes of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow look even neater w...

I have only one 32-bit Mint 17.3 install, and that's with Xfce. My Lenovo Ideapad is too low-spec'd to run Cinnamon smoothly. It runs better with Mint Xfce than with its original Windows XP, though. Among my various Mint installs, I've found that if the machine can run Cinnamon smoothly, it's most l...

One of the cool things about Mint or just about any other Linux distro is the freedom to customize. You can always roll your own theme! Even without getting into all the various window, menu and button elements that comprise a theme, there are ways to make your desktop reflect you-- you'd be surpris...

... A bar that I used to hang out in a few decades ago subscribed to a music service where the music was delivered to them in some digital format (over a satellite link, I think). When they first got that system, I noticed that I would tire of listening to it quickly. Something about it was just an...

... this is also the reason I won't use the likes of TOR browser. I've seen documentaries which say around 90% of the content accessed using such browsers is illegal, might not be quite like that but not prepared to take any chances using something which will attract suspicion. I don't know about V...

TheRegister.co.uk reports that Netflix now works natively in Linux in any HTML 5-capable standard web browser-- no addons or plugins needed, and it's no longer limited to Chrome.

So at long last, we Mint users can Netflix right out of the box!

You may have had time to get this answered already since it's been a few days, but here's a link to healthcare privacy laws as they exist in BC, just in case:

I'm also a musician-- more of a hobbyist than professional grade, although I have done remixes for other groups. The music I make is decidedly electronic (synthpop with occasional forays into trance, Hi-NRG and industrial/EBM). However, I listen to much more than that, including jazz-- especially wh...

Before I add my two cents, a disclaimer: I admit that my music collection is more along the electronic and/or pop genres. Even so, I happen to have a couple of rock-oriented gems in regular rotation on my iPod: Emerson Lake & Palmer : "From The Beginning" from Trilogy is sublime. Ace Frehley : His i...
