You shouldn't extract a .deb. ... there is nothing to extract. Try doubleclicking it instead, and your package manager should kick in.
However, I doubt that this version of Opera will run since your OS is outdated. Have you considered upgrading to a supported version of Mint?

Re: Deleted fonts folder
Not at all. You can even use Timeshift from a live Mint on an USB stick. Provided that you've previously let it make a snapshot, of course.marmaladeskies wrote: ⤴Thu Mar 28, 2024 5:34 pm Time shift is out as I can only make out empty boxes.

Re: Can’t login after changing WindowScalingFactor
If you have your installation medium and you've set up Timeshift snapshots, then it could be easy to fix.

Re: Moving all Data from Linux 17 Mint to Windows via USB.
Click-by-click is not going to be easy as we can't see the screen. We don't know which desktop environment is installed, and whether there are specific customizations. But you should expect to find a main menu somewhere in the bar that is across the screen, usually at the bottom. The menu button is ...

Re: Installing an upgrade
I have many files and applications under LM19.3 and a clean install would mean loosing these. You can and should backup your files (this can be as simple as copying them to an external storage medium) but you can't keep your applications. The same applications would most likely not run on a newer v...

Re: how to clean disk space
An easy way is to open the Update Manager, then the View Menu, then Linux Kernels. This lists all the kernels that are available to you and shows which ones of those are installed. You can also remove / install kernels from there.

Re: Problems Getting Installed Linux to Boot / Run on HP-ProBook-455

Adding RAM is usually as easy as shutting the laptop down, opening a hatch on the bottom, and popping it in. Look up ...

Re: how to clean disk space
Make sure that you are cleaning up in the partition that actually needs cleaning. If there is space in one partition, another can still get overly full.

Re: Problems Getting Installed Linux to Boot / Run on HP-ProBook-455
The best possible speed tweaks for that laptop, if possible, would probably be:
- adding more RAM. 4GB is pretty painful these days
- switching out the HDD for an SSD.
Just FYI, the Edge version is aimed at very new hardware.

Re: What's the appeal that makes some people want to change their package manager?
Edit: OP was a spambot and has been removed.
To be honest I've never heard of anyone doing that, but that may be on me. Is it a thing?

Re: Why is dual-boot not recommended by many?
The reason is that Windows updates have a tendency to mess things up in such a way that they may make it impossible to boot into Mint.

Re: Not Permitted To Update
that seams to mean that I'm not allowed to update packages any more. You are allowed. But there is nowhere to download them from, and that is a very different thing. No one is making updates for your OS anymore, and the repositories have been closed down. So there simply aren't any updates available.

Re: Mint for Tablet`s
Ubuntu Touch, which is made for touchscreen devices like tablets. It is, but there needs to be a specific version made for every model of tablet or phone, so the chance that any random tablet is supported is small and I don't think this one is one of the few. Sorry but I don't think Ubuntu Touch is...
