No Answer means that I better install Windows? That works from the beginning!

Please don't let a ‘no answer' bring you to that conclusion. Many of use don't use LMDE 2, so we don't have experience in it and don't have an suggestion or an answer.

I had seen this already, and It's hilarious! Of course, I just watched it again.

Thanks for sharing this!

This may or may may apply (I haven't updated to 19, so I don't have experience yet):

I believe having kernel 4.15.0-24 has caused some problems for others, so you may want to change to a lower-numbered kernel in the 4.15 series.

I'm not a fan. I tried setting it up to do 1 monthly backup & had it store it on my freshly formatted 1 terabyte HD. Started it & HD light never went off, even after 4 hours. Now it was backing up my 480 GB NVME which only had 80 gigs used, but when I looked at the backup storage drive it was down ...

I recently installed linux mint 19 cinnamon, i then wanted to install w7 as a dual boot!! However i cannot seem to convert the sda from ext4 to ntfs? I see from your original post that it is your first post to the forum. Welcome! After installing Mint 19 and previous to installing Windows 7, did yo...

Welcome, Vacio!

If you originally had a separate /home partition in 19, then yes, you can run the installation for 18.3 and assign the original 19 /home partition to 18.3. You must make sure that the checkbox to format the partition is NOT checked. That will install the 18.3 OS but just use the /home partition. As ...

... If I end up losing sda2 again I will probably lose my job. The data isn't important enough to be worth making a backup of it? ... My thoughts exactly. You encrypted your data and it's work related so the data must be important. Lesson is---backup your important data regularly and immediately be...

@Pjotr and/or Pierre: TimeShift doesn't have a compression option? I can't check because I don't have Mint on hand.

Timeshift does no compression of its own, no. You can backup to a compressed BTRFS mount though.

Good to know, thanks.

Everyone take care and stay safe.

You too---take care, stay safe, and see you back here, ok?

Dupo, that is a great idea! I probably will do the same when I install 19 (I run 18.3).

If you can spare ~10 GB out of the 64 GB, kudos!

Good idea, yes. Give it a minimum of 10 GB, that should be enough for the (big!) primary snapshot plus a few extra. Do the partitioning beforehand, with GParted, after booting from the Mint DVD.

Would Dupo really need a minimum of 10 GB for a 64 GB eMMC storage?

Catweazel, My heart sank when I read your post. I'm 54 years old and have a seizure disorder. It's affected my brain and I know for a fact that my mind is not what it was even just 10 years ago. Searching for words just to get my point across in a conversation, trying to remember something from two ...

I guess I am spoiled by Mac and Winders fonts and icons. I'm a longtime Windows user and find that if I didn't have to use it for a couple of things, including at my workplace, I wouldn't miss the icons and fonts. As for Mac, never had one but I must say of what I've seen, the interface is very goo...

I find Linux quite good looking. With Libre Office, there are other themes to use. The icons are great, and there are many other fonts to install.

Welcome!

Ah, the TSR-80! Never had one, but wanted one.

Hello, Thanks, but surely site.ir was an example! No, not that obvious. First, you had site.ir in quotation marks. By default, it would mean that site.ir is the name of the website. You've thought it's really my website? Many newbies on the forum don't know how to use the link tags, so we would ass...
