I just now, shutdown and rebooted expecting to see an Option to select from different Kernels. I do not see an option to select Kernels. https://i.imgur.com/gavNeDb.jpg the reason for this came about from this other thread, which I had posted in. So, why do I not see the newer Kernels in Grub to try...

...... snip..... AMD is still offering both open source and proprietary drivers for Linux. Due to AMD releasing the source code to their drivers, the performance has increased dramatically to the point where there is no reason to use the proprietary drivers except for a few use cases. There is a ru...

I found this back in a corner.
Think it is time to take a peek, see if anything important is still on it, and send it to HDD heaven.

It isn't even big enough to install 19.3 Cinnamon on it
wonder if the warranty is still valid

Is a 'bottle of water' the new "hip" way of referring to your laptop? :wink: ha ha ha, our local water supply comes from a lake, and the taste is absolutely horrible. we will NOT drink it, nor use it for ice. We buy packaged ice and bottled water for drinking :lol: it just so happens, that the exha...

If that screen shot is current, it is showing that test disk is actually still running in real time...DAMIEN

then I shall unload it, as that is a Current Snapshot.
I wondered about that.

I subscribe to Verizon's Caller ID, which is $2 bux a month.... but is a lot more informative than any of the Caller ID Apps that I have tried off of Play.Google.store none of them are accurate. Unless I am expecting a doctor to call me, and an Unknown To Me call comes in, I always slide the Ignore ...

Okay, back from packing the truck.... traveling tmw to see my son up in Dayton, Ohio which is a 12 hr trip. here is Processes and all it shows me is what I did 3 days ago, w...

Oneplus 3 and 3T are supported, though the version of the OS that runs on them is not as mature as the one for the Oneplus One: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ as I am not familiar at all with OnePlus, I just assumed that the 'One' is much older than the '3-T' ?? when looking for cellphones, I alw...

the trend to use intrusive loud, distracting, distasteful, and otherwise obnoxious ads, ads that block my ability to view a website, and ads that contain malware have forced me to block all ads. I tried whitelisting sites that didn't have obnoxious but that did not work well and was more hassle tha...

Grabbed a couple of...

I must be a 'good consumer', if you watch my Email Inbox....

I have to "Unsubscribe" from about every 5th or 10th email that I see daily, and I mark it SPAM at the same time.

Thank you. I didn't realize, and I'm not very knowledgeable about any of Linux or Synaptic, but I thought this particular article's advice might have been dangerous , not just unnecessary, and wonder if anyone could comment. I have never done that once, have not felt the need for it, as mentioned t...

I looked on Swappa.com com and the oldest OnePlus that I could find was a 3-T for $80 bux.

not too bad for a new toy to play with, I might do that just to experiment around with it, not actually get a simcard for it.

Thank you again, as always.
Your explanations are always clear and succinct.

I'm of the opinion, that the Progress Bar is not an Exact Science as to how long it is going to take to perform the job. Initially, the File Managers have to run thru the list of jobs, collect names, locations, and then start the actual copy process. Once the actual copy process itself has started, ...

I'm curious as to exactly what unwanted behavior this is about?
