Linux Mint Forums

And how do you like it?
Welcome to the forum.

I agree (both as a forum user and as a moderator). If they're right, they are only giving the troll what (s)he craves: attention. And if they're wrong, they are being very rude. In either case, it's not doing any good. "If it walks like a duck . . . . . " ... you can still refrain from feeding it b...

I wish people would stop accusing posters they don't like of being trolls.

I have the same issue but only from a newly installed AMD machine with Mint 20 (stable)

It's an old thread, I suggest that you make a new topic. Welcome to the forum, by the way!

But can you still say that I can use an Acer for Linux?

You certainly can. Just be prepared to jump through some extra hoops. But we'll help you with that.

Acers can be hard to install on because of their specific UEFI implementation. I did an installation on an Acer once, it was a pain. First I had to set an admin password in order to be able to switch Secure Boot off, then I found out that while it was a 64-bits machine, it had and required 32-bits U...

If this gets up and spreads to other distributions, there'll be a lot of unhappy people. My opinion is that it's a good thing; it's called progress. That's an IF that's doing a lot of work there. I like progress. But not progress for the sake of progress. And I like being able to use stuff for a lo...

bij mij ging het één keer echter hopeloos mis en ik had geen back-up. Ik dacht dat kan niet misgaan :roll: Kan het ook niet! Behalve als je geen backup hebt, want precies dan gaat het natuurlijk wel mis. Het paraplueffekt: als je er een bij je hebt, gaat het niet regenen. En zo niet, dan hoost het....

No one can answer that question except for Clem. How do you expect anyone else to come up with the answer? We can't read his mind.
Random names seems unlikely. I stand with my previous reply: He'd probably think up some other naming scheme.

Tot nu toe heb ik geen update/upgrade zien staan in Bijwerkbeheer naar mintversie 19.x

Die ga je ook niet zien, want zo werken upgrades naar een volgende hoofdversie niet.

It just means that your idea was so good that it's already been implemented... retroactively!

Yes, I believe it would make a difference. 2GB is just very very little nowadays.

(i do use lmde 64bit)

Mod note:
Moved the topic to the LMDE section.

Mint needs to be upgraded to a new version every 5 years. There is a chance that newer versions will stop running on your hardware. For example, there is no Mint 20 for 32-bits computers. Also the modern web will require more modern hardware over time. Computers are by their very nature not terribly...

Another more general question- what are the advantages of Ubuntu 20 over 18? That is, how does being based on Ubuntu 20 make Mint 20 better? One hopes that newer releases would be better... I mean, the general goal is to improve. But that's a little esotheric. A very simple and concrete answer: it ...

i created separate /home and /tmp partition and now it says that linux installation (lmde) takes only 6.5gb...

If you want help with that, I suggest starting a new topic in the appropriate area. This is an old thread in the Main Edition area (= not LMDE). Time to lock it.

Ik doe een nieuwe installatie, maar behoud daarbij mijn /home (aparte partitie). Je zou het een 'vuile' installatie kunnen noemen. Zo behoud ik mijn bestanden maar ook instellingen. Ik moet dan wel de software opnieuw installeren. Ik vind deze methode risicoloos, want ik maak voor de zekerheid eerst...

That is not bad at all, you might want to try and show it to someone in charge of those things.

NoScript is pretty hardcore. It's also intrusive: you can't 'set it and forget it', unless you always use the same 10 websites or something. But you can choose to selectively allow javascript from some parties and not others. For example, on this page I'm on now, I allow JS from 'linuxmint.com' but ...

To put it another way, it is has passed the experimental stage, but has yet to reach the maturity of main stream phones. I think that is well stated. This property is what may make it inconvenient or even unusable for some of us, and at the same time more attractive to some people (and I'm sure tho...
