Linux Mint Forums

It's always a fine balance between keeping instructions so short that they do not cover all possible scenarios BUT are short enough not to scare people off, and making them longer by listing everything that can happen and how to solve it, BUT no one ever reads all of it. In any case, I've marked you...

All good now, just have a couple of coasters.

Toss them in the microwave and hang them in your Christmas tree!

Try burning the disk 'as an image'.

This is my surprised face:

When did you come to Linux? I think the universal answer to this question is: "Later than I should have" That's not how it feels for me. I came to Linux when the time felt right... and when I had had enough of Windows, so I had a reason. I'm not sure it would have worked for me if I'd tried it earl...

I'm not sure that's a thing. Well, apparently it is, but I've never bothered.
You verified the download, and that's what counts. Will it run?

Choose the manual / 'something else' installation option, point to the existing home partition to be mounted as /home again, and make very sure the box on 'format' is not ticked.

Hi Marvin! Don't be shy, feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself...

That is very fine and now you'll have a better chance of getting good answers!

Hello, can you please post the result of the following terminal command, and enclose it in code tags? That's the button marked </> . This is needed for pretty much any question about your system, so it's a good habit to post it straight away. inxi -Fxz If you're having trouble doing this, let me kno...

Sounds like you're on Cinnamon. I recommend giving people that information when you ask a question. It saves everybody time.

No command line. Here's another route to the same place:
- Open Preferences, choose 'applets'.
- In the list of applets that comes up, find 'window list' and click the Configure button.
- Switch 'show window thumbnails on hover' OFF.
That's it.

Considering hardly anyone use bookmarks (less than 0.1% of the users really use them) I don't want to clutter the quick links with that.

Fair enough, but I'd have used them more if there were a convenient way to get to them!

the floors in my home are concrete, and they are definitely cooler in the winter time.

We have concrete floors too... they are warmer in the winter.
Probably because we installed underfloor heating.

Hello and welcome! You live in a gorgeous region, I have fond memories of a vacation there.

You typed sudu instead of sudo.
