Linux Mint Forums

Thanks guys!

can anyone recommend one? https://alternativeto.net/software/evernote/?platform=linux google-fu Take your pick :) Thanks, I think Simplenote, I trust the opinions of the good people on this board who have actually used the software which is why I ask. My daughter is good at winders but really likes...

Tell us how you REALLY feel :) I still have Winders for Photoshop, iTunes, and games. Gimp is plenty good enough to replace photoshop. If you must rely on bits of fruit, you deserve what you get. (FWIW, SWMBO has a couple of bits of fruit and neither of them rely on iTunes to talk to any computers ...

Mint really goes a long way to fixing this problem, and I, personally think, that Mint is ready for Prime Time. I remember the agony in Mandrake of trying to find (and understand) what I needed to load a program, and make it work. What dependencies I needed, and where to go find them. It made me gi...

I posted this question in another thread, but no one had a suggestion, so here it is: What is the best, most easily usable note taking software (sort of like Evernote or One Note) for Linux? I had to give my daughter the HP Pavillion gaming system I purchased for $150 at a divorce sale (new in box, ...

Dependency h*ll is and was a major Linux problem, and I think it really hurt the adoption of Linux vice Winders. I remember that from my early days with Mandrake Linux. Linus Torvalds mentioned something like this in a Q&A session (DebConf 14?) on the reasons why Linux has not overtaken the desktop...

Tell us how you REALLY feel :) I still have Winders for Photoshop, iTunes, and games. Windwoes 10 deserves a thorough ridiculing... the installation process goes like this... Create a super memorable password Make sure to pick something you'll absolutely remember. On the next screen you are forced ...

After using linux and having all the customisation options available, Windwoes is quite ugly and very ungainly. Two serious understatements there IMHO .. :mrgreen: Only because the mods would be on to me if I used the applicable expletives :) <aside> Hi, mods! :) Tell us how you REALLY feel :) I st...

So does Windwoes.

Horses for courses.

Yeah, 45 minute updates, seven hour upgrades (if it works), spyware, bloatware, and did I mention spyware?

Well, yes, but it still works. People wouldn't use it otherwise.

I agree, but man is it annoying.

Mint just works. 'nuff said.

For note taking apps, which of these is quick to learn, and works well?
1) Simplenote
2) Turtl
3) Keepnote
4) Wiznote

Thanks.

Constant demands for money, constantly fighting "Blue Screen of Death" Best DE in the Linux environment, and it is stable, never had a crash that I didn't invent on my own :lol: Very true. I might wanna add the improved security, although I recently discovered that a wireless UNencrypted 2.5GHz mou...

Yep, the daughter is keeping the laptop. Oh, well what's mine is hers and what's hers is hers..... Can anyone suggest good note taking software in Linux?

I think it creates a situation in which there is continuously decreasing incentive for programmers to be as motivated as they were at a previous point in time to create code that was as efficient as it was at the said previous point in time. Lay answer: in my opinion, yes.

I agree completely.

I did not like Ubuntu/Amazon, and really disliked Unity desktop. Loaded 17.something and started playing with it.

I wonder how many here have set up Gentoo from scratch...

I'm tempted, being  a glutton for punishment  a keen experimenter. It can't be that much "harder" than Arch, can it ..?

Brave man, very brave man, if you want pain, why not go Slackware?

LOL, and it is using a Mac.

My daughters computer went down, and she HAD to have a laptop for college so my new(ish) HP Pavillion gaming computer with dual drives and Mint 19.1 went to her, and she likes it. So I might not get it back. I got the Pavillion in a divorce sale for a song. Judge told the husband to sell stuff to gi...
