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 ...

That's an ingame related thing meant to be that way.

VOODOO!

good job though.

let's proceed as usual!

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...

2012, your system is using UEFI, that's the current used mode when you made that system info output: Machine: Type: Desktop Mobo: Gigabyte model: Z68XP-UD3 v: x.x serial: <superuser required> UEFI: Award v: F10 date: 03/20/2012 -otherwise it will show "BIOS" version or say "UEFI: lega...

we've all been there, will be there again.

sometimes it takes that step back to realize the issue.

good going.

monitor 2 or 3, doesn't matter, who cares!

listen, I'm not sayin' you made some comment about cocaine and las vegas, but the base analysis is firstly power consumption, and ready pc processing ability at a given moment. As long as you can you process whatever you want to do at any given moment, which really is my whole focus, I guess that re...

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...

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...

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...

Ha! wholly hell!

now, that's getting into it a lot better at this point!

It is not a "timeshift partition".

ahh! understood. ok, good.

with that case of /home being separated then, the "recommended" 100GB is certainly not needed on the system side.

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...

I suspect whatever that panel setup you are using is giving different treatment to that line right there, and it shows the conky window button for it.

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

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...

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...

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.
