Having a grey beard does not a greybeard make; being a greybeard is a state of mind.

Hello, This is how to run the command to fix your problem: - Copy the following command: sudo dpkg --configure -a - Open a terminal (one way do do that is to press Ctrl+Alt+T) - Paste the command into the terminal (you can use rightclick and choose Paste) - Press enter - You will be prompted for you...

Oh? Interesting, so basically we can install linux on android phone if we're able to unlock the bootloader? No, that's too big a jump. It's not that simple. We can install Ubuntu Touch on an Android phone if we can lock the bootloader and if there is a version of Ubuntu Touch for that phone. Here i...

It is. I use Ubuntu Touch, but not on a Pinephone.

Not a bug. It seems that Reddit has some code in place that influences how cut&paste works.

Yes, just like from the standard version of 21.3. After all, there is not so much difference... it's just a newer kernel.

Sure thing! Done.

- what apps do you install in a pine phone?

That depends on which OS you´d install.

No, I would not use Timeshift for that; in fact I would not reinstall at all. I would boot from a live Mint USB stick, start GParted from there, use that to remove any and all Windows partitions... and use the new space by enlarging the existing Linux partitions. Do make a backup of your important d...

It is, in most cases. But then most beginners want to install on their harddrive. That is the default situation and so that is the easiest way.

Hurray, good job!

Sorry, but this is the Mint forum, we only support Mint even if you're using Cinnamon. Try the Fedora forum maybe.

Well, that's a lesson for the future I would say... data that exists in only one place, can be lost at any moment.

Yes, that is a very good idea. Then after installation, you can keep it around in case something goes sideways, it's a great troubleshooting tool.

After all, Presentation is just as important as content :idea: That is an opinion that you get to have, but it's still an opinion. Personally I'm not convinced by the arguments in this thread. I would prefer if the team sticks with the numbering convention they have been following. I'm perfectly fi...

It sounds like what you created is not a bootable USB stick. I'm not familiar with Zorin or the tools it comes with, sorry.

Want more details? We have more details! Here is a somewhat outdated timeline of the development of the major distributions: https://cdn-media-1.freecodecamp.org/images/1*7KP2aqaHVrCgJfF9mhE8hQ.png A larger, and updated version of the Debian part as an .svg is here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wiki...

It thoundth like a vithit to the dentitht ith in order.

Yes, it would. If you make it into a bootable stick, then nothing else will be left on the stick; in the process of creating the bootable stick, it's formatted which also means it's wiped. So it sounds like you just copied the .iso to the stick and that will not work. You'll need to read up on how t...

Thanks! I hope you didn't expect people to know those things.
