Same here; retired as well.

Reason for donating:
Windoz software obsoleted my older computers.

Now using Mint Mate, plain and simple, it works.

Thanks Linux Mint Team!

Not interested in MAC. Personally, Windoz 10 was too flashy for me, twirling icons and such. We kept & updated Windoz 10 for income tax programs only, used Linux for all else. Then Windoz 11 OS obsoleted my older computers. Wife and I chose Linux Mint Mate as we refuse to be forced into purchasi...

Greetings farkas; You could try the board games Berusky, or Pentobi, available in LM's software center. Both are puzzle games, with progressing difficulty levels. Berusky comes in 2d and 3d versions. The 2d version works well with my old desktop, haven't tried the 3d yet. Pentobi also works well. MB...

Hi 1000; Entered terminal commands you provided and compared the output of my system. Main difference being: $ inxi -Gx: Graphics: Device-1: Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics vendor: ASRock driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.9 driver: intel unloaded: fbdev,modesett...

Greetings; I am curious if anyone else has tried Pentobi? So, no major issue, this is only about a game not working, at least for me. In Mint Mate 20.1, the software manager lists a game called Pentobi. As of this post, the software manager list no reviews for Pentobi Searching: site:forums.linuxmin...

Congratulations to Linux Mint and MrEen!

Hello; Until (if) addressed, a workaround; Task Coach (Windows Version 1.4.4, December 2, 2018) works for my system with LM19 Mate/Winetricks 4.0. From LM19 Mate Software Manager: Installed Winetricks 4.0 Then; Created a Temp directory using Wine (/home/MB/.wine/drive_c/Temp); D/L Task Coach (Window...

My Typo;

Kernel Linux 4.15.0-42-generic x86_64

Hello; Task Coach V. 1.4.3-6 fails to launch on LM 19 Mate as well. Attempting launch, the HD LED indicator shows launch activity, however Task Coach never appears on the screen. Uninstall, re-install, no luck, removed software. The Task coach version that installs with LM 18.3 worked correctly on m...

However with regard to 32-bit systems remaining vulnerable t...

Hello All;


As a NON-gaming system:

Which is a better candidate to use with Linux Mint 18.3 Mate?

Advice appreciated;

Is it feasable to have WinXP 32bit and LM 18.2 Mate 64bit as a dual boot on the same Hard Drive with a 64bit capable computer?

Please respond.
