Linux Mint Forums

I wouldn't know. I've never seen that add-on before. But let me put it this way: if Google is involved, I'm staying away from it.

By the way, the reviews don't look great. I don't think this is safe: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... r/reviews/

I'm sorry to hear things did not work out for you! As I may or may not have told you, I took the easy way out by acquiring a phone with LineageOS pre-installed (Oneplus One). It's working flawlessly. I have switched off everything Google, which limits the number of apps I can download because I can'...

Hello and welcome! I do think that you'll learn a lot here, real soon.

I am looking forward to your help with this topic: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=290399

That's a good start; for best results, I recommend that you also add the output of inxi -Fxz.

I'm going to have to format it if I want to use it on the Linux machine. Isn't that going to erase everything? That defeats the purpose.

Not really, as it's a one-time thing. But yes, it WILL erase everything that is currently on the drive.

I don't use TImeshift in Mint 19.1 because for me, I find it confusing.

Boom! And there we have it.
You are not alone in that! But surely the interface can be improved?

Yesterday I bought CanoScan LiDE 300. "Simple Scan" says "No scanners detected" although the scanner has been detected on guest Windows.

Well, go on and start a topic about it, if you're looking to get help.

Why would you reinstall Windows, when your mom says she doesn't trust it anymore? Can she switch full-time to Mint?

OP is talking about Nemo, so I'll assume Cinnamon. (OP, this is vital information in almost any question.)
Under Privacy, switch on Remember recently accessed files.

Nice, huh? Glad i could help!

And do you regularly apply updates on that machine? I don't think it has prompted me, so no. I jsut installed it & went, so whatever the default settings for the update manager are? The default settings include the concept that the user updates their system whenever there are updates being offered....

And do you regularly apply updates on that machine?

Could not the same be said for EVERY software installed on a system? Seriously.

Seriously?
No. Most software does not behave like that.

Since these are very different issues, I strongly suggest starting a new thread for each of them. Don't worry too much, they sound thoroughly fixable!

You can download any TTF font; after downloading it, doubleclick and it should open in the Font Viewer, which has a button marked Install. I haven't checked what was inside the .zip file offered on that site but if it's TTF, it should be fine. Since it's a .zip, you'll want to extract it first, then...

Welcome! Jump right in, the water's fine!

Which Linux Mint 19.1? As far as I know, Cinnamon has the better tablet support.

I'm okay with this, but then Timeshift becomes much more central to Mint than it already is, and so it will really need a better interface and defaults. As it is, I can easily see it scaring newcomers away... some of them will think 'You know what, never mind all that... I'm hopefully never going to...

Aww thank you! Your kind words are appreciated.

This doesn't seem to be a question, but in case it helps... I use SimpleScan with my old Canoscan Lide 110 and it works just fine, out of the box.
