Re: How do I completely switch over to a new desktop environment?
for testing, I would opt for the mint-meta desktop packages. apt install mint-meta-mate mint-meta-xfce and then you can choose at the login screen which environment. as for the other desktops you'll have to just install the base package as mentioned above. or just go with xfce, it's the most mature ...

Re: Please Teach Me to Be a Linux Mint apt Expert
originally years ago there were a handful of tools handling all the different useful operations. I guess the idea being each program to be quite specific and do mostly 1 thing or related thing(s) and do it well. At some point after probably a couple decades it was decided to be cool to group all the...

Re: why is this terminal command not working in conky.conf? [SOLVED]
just wanted to clarify some details that might be slipping by you. when you run an inxi command on terminal it will throw up the color codes, but it does recognize the context. if you do the same dump to a file it does not throw the codes, at least the file redirection. But it will do different stuf...

Re: System Report - USRMERGE
if I'm not mistaken, but I might be, they were trying to drop 32 bit support for I believe it was the equivalent Mint 20(Ubuntu 20.04), but they drew back on that when a bunch of people freaked out absolutely. But for Mint 21(Ubuntu 22.04) I think ... ah, hell, I don't know if they did it one way or...

Re: copying 3TB extremely slow
honestly, a great solution. -never create any partitions of 3TB. or 1TB, or whatever. When you are managing partition space I don't care if you have SSD, or screaming mmxc, if you are blocking out 3TB at once that's just a bad management design, period. You can do better. When you get to that situat...

Re: Is there a terminal command to get the information from System Info app? [SOLVED]
I was using a Mint 20.x system, -J (usb) wasn't listed. But always easy to check the info. inxi --help Be aware that inxi will output slightly differently based on the calling scheme, whether direct on terminal, in a script, it will give IRC formatted output and more. If you have a small terminal th...

my initial guess, one of the conky configs doesn't have the window settings correct, for example

Re: What should I expect when upgrading?
another point of interest, timeshift. first one would put less than 20GB on a fresh install, then each one after that is quite much smaller, it is only based on how much changed from that previous snapshot. I'm not sure there's a good standard for size there, but certainly 720GB is abusively wastefu...

Re: How to launch a bash script from a conky .lua script
So now what? You have that clickbox mouse program running, but it's only coded to switch to one situation, correct? and not back, or to another workspace conky theme. But, it's still running in the background. If you start it again with another switch-desk activity then you would have 2 of the click...

Re: What should I expect when upgrading?
100GB is recommended.
Do a fresh install.
Use the mint Backup Tool beforehand and you can save off the 2 files for user installed system programs and user data space separately, copy those to some other safe space and then you can import them on the new install at least.
