You are trying to 'find' Anydesk but you omitted to say how you installed it. If you installed it from the repository then an entry Anydesk will automatically appear in the Menu. In my case, under Internet. It is then a 2 minute task to open up the Menu Configurator, (using the buttons provided) Cut...

It does, for me.. But, I have opera open under Firejail, maybe that makes a difference..

If you want a comprehensive but easy to understand guide to installing Linux then I cannot recommend the following too highly.. https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/1.html It also has the advantage that it is written by the Forum user Pjotr so if you have questions then you can ask here.. Why...

Sorry I am not aware of Universal USB Installer. However, most experts seem to recommend Rufus as the go to Windows 10 Linux iso burner. Here is a 'how to'.. https://www.fosslinux.com/274/how-to-create-linux-mint-live-usb-drive-on-windows.htm The easiest/best way to check the usb iso image is to act...

I will try & explain from how I set up my system. 6ish years ago I purchased an Acer Aspire TC-705 - it came with 1TB HDD. I had the shop install a 120GB SSD. I installed Windows 10 on a partition that took half of the 1TB HDD - formatted to NTFS. At the same time I formatted the rest of the 1TB...

If anyone does as Kadaitcha Man suggests (physically separate drives booting through BIOS rather than a boot loader) then it is impossible that Windows 10 can interfere with the other OS, as it has no means of knowing that any such exist. I have gone 1 step less than that suggestion (as I use grub t...

Did you use firecfg after installing firejail? If so it adds some applications that just don't run under firejail - I found Dropbox was one of those. If you open as root /usr/local/bin then you can see the firejail shortcuts there. I believe that deleting that shortcut will enable the application to...

Welcome to the Forum!! Wondering if installing Virtualbox would make a difference in being able to load a virtual W7 - I need to do some research on that. Just thinking some of my programs might not run in Linux. Yes, Windows 7 will run fine in VirtualBox.. EDIT You may need to do this first to get ...

I think that you need to open Gparted & take a screenshot of what that shows for the drive that you have installed Mint on.

Deleting the usr folder would be a very bad idea indeed..

No you have done just your /Home Folder. You need to go 2 steps up from that to your / (root) folder & do the task again. The colours just try & highlight what Folders are taking up the majority of the space you are looking at. Nothing more than that. Here is mine for / Root Disk.png It says...

A USB with 19.x on will work fine. You need to get into the machine BIOS in order to boot from the USB. How you do that depends on the manufacturer of the equipment. It usually involves pressing (quickly) one of F2, F10, F12 or esc immediately on turning on your machine. Some (helpful) manufacturers...

I have Windows 10 and Linux Mint installed on my desktop as dual boot. Windows is installed on half of the 1TB HDD that came with the machine. (The other half is formatted to NTFS & is used by both OS's for Data). Mint is installed on a separate SSD. Windows is not allowed to use fast start-up (...

I don't think there is a 7zip application for Linux - well not an official one, anyway. You don't say where you obtained it from & how you tried to create it - or, possibly more important, how you deleted it.. I believe that p7zip is the actual Linux equivalent of 7zip.. p7zip is in the Mint 20....

It sounds like you have filled up your / (root) partition with Timeshift snapshots. You need to start your computer using the disk/usb you created to install Mint & then free up space in your root partition. Timeshift/old Kernels/huge error log files are the usual suspects for taking up space. A...

Oh right, I forgot all about the Home folder backup tool included with Mint. It’s not so much my personal data that I’m worried about losing, I have backup upon backup of that, it’s really more about my config files and VM data that I’m worried about losing. Thanks! I did this in VirtualBox first, ...

I did similar when I moved from 19.3 to 20.1. However I did it via the Backup Tool. There I 'Back Up Now' my Applications and also 'Back up Now' my personal data - I also added hidden files in that backup. I then installed a new copy of Mint 20.1 & then used the Backup Tool to restore. Note: it ...

The easiest way is to just copy the Windows 10 iso to your Mint install. Then you go to Settings in your Windows 10 virtualbox guest, click on the Storage tab, select the CD/DVD icon & then use the drop down arrow to select the Windows 10 iso on your Mint install. You can then start the Windows ...

Is a useful resource to find ebooks on specific subjects..

I believe that to make them show that first you have to add a new Menu Item.
Then you have to add a New Item(s) to that New Menu Item.
If you only want to add a New Item then you need to place it beneath an existing Menu Item...

I created the big Red arrow because (as I said) I use Ksnip & that allows some editing after taking a screenshot & before saving it.
Otherwise you probably have to use something like GIMP to edit the 'picture' that you end up with after saving the screenshot...
