P.S. this is not me... but I feel for him. Thank you , LM team for the great Mint updater

1 - installation is linux-like. Windows automatically search for drivers and install them. Quick installation, relatively. This has always been the case even with XP - if Windows cannot find appropriate driver, it will try to use generic one from Microsoft. Windows XP can update drivers from Window...

I wish the mint representatives also comment on what is currently written on the Debian-Forums regarding this issue and the security concept of Mint in general. This really unsettles me at the moment and I'm seriously considering to dump Mint and move to a different distro... The problem that happe...

I am very sorry but no Paypal for me. I don't want all my personal data to be stored on American servers so a company Oh, come on, Mr.October. Please, think again.

Pretty much nobody talks about Android spying features but they are very similar to the Windows 10 ones. Microsoft/Windows 10 is pretty much the same as what Google/Android has been for several years. With Android and deviced with GPS and location turned ON by default - they have your exact location...

I have been running Linux (mostly Mint) since the autumn of 2014 - on my home computer. At work I am forced to run Windows. My sister runs Windows 8.1 because she plays lots of games from the Win Store. Anyway, 2016 started for with 2 very big re-freshes why I completely ditched Windows. My work com...

There is a solution against the spying : https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 With all due respect but... the whole idea to install an operating system known to have spyware or backdoor built-in is totally disgusting to me. And even worse, the idea to run an antispyware tool to hopefully (no 100...

Gotta say though, Windows 10 is a very solid, robust OS. If only it wasn't for all those privacy violations, Windows 10 would actually be a fine OS. Tell this to someone who deals with Windows and Windows issues several days every week. It's the privacy and security which are the biggest Windows is...

GNU/Linux is open source. You can't say this for Windows, Mac Android - all used a lot more than GNU/Linux operating system. Everyone can check the code and everyone can test the software Q/A. So, whatever they say, most can be checked. With Windows, most people cannot check them and to know exactly...

Thanks, xenopeek !

But for how long? Just wait for July then upgrades will stops by itself. What after? I suggest you will go to shop and purchase W10 (sooner or later). But this time for your own money. I seriously doubt that Microsoft will just stop pushing Win 10 after July/August 2016. There will be something els...

By the way, what do you think of Firefox ESR ? Why doesn't LM uses Firefox ESR - it seems definitely more stable to me. I prefer stability and since LM is all based on Ubuntu builds that are supposed to be stable (LTS) I guess Firefox should also be as stable as possible. Are these any specific LM c...

Hi ! LM 17.2 was very very stable built for me (LM 17.2 XFCE + kernel 4.2). For the whole period I used it (several months), I only had 2-3 crashes. I upgraded to 17.3 XFCE (via clean install) these days and I am seeing these issues, too: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=213858 Howev...

Hi Mr_Reed! I am not a GNU/Linux pro but still learning. From my experience with Linux Mint, *buntu and Debian, I can say I run recent Intel Celeron processor (cheap one - dual core, 2.13 Ghz) and system runs pretty much fine. I had issues due to running an HDD (5400 RPM) - recently upgraded to SSD ...

This is very sad news for the whole computing and Linux community.

To disable the Windows 10 upgrade notification and download, use GWX Control Panel. You can download it from here: http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/. I used it on two computers of family members that use Windows 7; they haven't had a Windows 10 upgrade notification since and no background down...

Latest from Microsoft - they are more and more aggressive in their way to push Windows 10 on every PC on this planet Source: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3015238/microsoft-windows/microsoft-narrows-win10-upgrade-options-to-upgrade-now-or-upgrade-tonight.html Bad Santa - Upgrade NOW or Upgrade To...
