Linux Mint Forums

I have had the libre freestyle for over 3 years.I have been round and round for the 3 years and worked with Abbott and absolutely no linux of any type. Everything goes via apple or windex then through amazon. My VA doc was not aware of this and she found out that the VA app (windows) is through the ...

I am running a copy of puppy linux 32 in an old 32bit Asus netbook off a 128 flash drive the tiny 4gb ssb drive in the netbook wasn't big enough to do much and the 2GB capacity ram is suitable. for writing using an old OS word processor. The netbook only has 2 usb ports so I use a 4 usb hub with the...

I do watch some videos. I do not do any photo editing. I do some CAD (electrical) work. I do a lot of text (WP) editing and writing. several of my laptops are maxed out at 2 GB. One has 8GB. My desktop has 4 GB. I run LM 19.3 and 20.3 cinnamon. Never have a problem except on a single core atom (64bi...

I tried LMDE4 several times and the only way I found to eliminate the feeze problem was to wipe and put in a fresh Mint cinnamon 20.3. never had the problem anymore.

Same here. Mine was a 4808. The board I designed and built myself. A high level language was Tiny Basic. All pre Microsoft and Apple.

The McAffee I wound up with was a worm that insisted anything I downloaded from Linux was a virus and was restricted. I reinstalled LM20.3 in all 3 of my systems that Was infested with it and everything seems OK now with all downloads. One of the laptops had to have the SSD pulled and reformatted to...

I had the same thing today. The new Mozilla in 3 of my laptops said I had updates but they would not update security after McAffee told me that my account had expired and I never installed McAffee. Just before I was locked out of updates the one before was very slow as in slower than 50KBS. after fr...

Finally fixed the Dell. Reinstalled LM. Had to use a fresh DVD with external DVD. Then I reinstalled in secure mode it would not go to the legacy.

More things. I am trying the update thing for the firefox and the computer will not do 42 security or any other updates. Here is the readout on this one.

I have lost full usage in 3 laptops this week with the firefox upgrades. I have not used Mcaffee nore installed it as well as norton since 2013 with XP. I was doing a search of some university papers when a popup regarding "My McAffee security was ending in 1 hour!" I have never installed ...

I did 20.3 cinnamon upgrades on 12 of my laptops in the past week. They went nicely! 2 were on single core Atom machines with 2GB Ram. One was a quad core HP with 8GB ram and a 500gb SSD. Another is an HP X360. The 360 was having shutdown issues with 20.2. With 20.2 touch screen works! and the shut ...

I still [*]have a functional commodore 64 and a Xerox Star that still worked last year. I have not fired it up this year.

Gooday! Sounds like me about 55 years ago after I got my EE. I still ride my bike also. :mrgreen: Difference is, I was saying "HI World!" You have much better bike riding weather than I do. Keep at it but don't forget the pre software world. I still work with vacuum fubes but some of them ...
