Linux Mint Forums

By the way: Since last Monday I can only reach the Mint-Forums via Opera with VPN - switched on somewhere in the Americas... Firefox and Vivaldi are unusable.

This reminds me of the following event: in Switzerland we had the PTT (Post/Telephone/Telegraph) as a state institution until the nineties. Then they discovered that Switzerland was the Disney edition of the United States and everything was switched to the private sector. PTT became Swisscom, unchan...

This isn't just Mint.... 25 years of Mac and in between some Windows and Linux variants have taught me to distrust all possible printers and their drivers to the highest degree. I don't know if it's bad will or inability - but these things never work as I would like them to. The same printer, on the...

I am always interested in visual perception - as an illustrator and graphic artist I would like to convey as much good information as possible to my readers and viewers. I am quite amazed at the statement that sans serif fonts are better readable than serif fonts. This contradicts to all common read...

O.K. I am an old Mac OS, OSX / Photoshop user and my beloved applications are now hopelessly antiquated... what still works best on my old computers - but it can not be easily transferred to a current Linux, Windows or macOS System. I have played around in a current GIMP 2.10 - and Oops! the convert...

I just bought an Epson ET-2650 Eco tank. ads say: "Includes enough ink to print up to 4, 000 pages black/6, 500 color (2) — equivalent to about 20 ink cartridge sets (3) Save up to 80 percent on ink with low-cost replacement bottles (4) — plus easy-to-fill, supersized ink tanks" Hopefully this ink ...

The end is saving space on Kobo reader and speeding up performance on the ereader If you want to minimize the amount of image data on an ebook reader (Kobo) it would be good to know which image formats can be read at all. Bitmap (pure black-and-white conversion) would also be a very economical opti...

I have a bunch of JPG files in a folder. They are full-color. To save space, I'd like to turn them into grayscale (16 shades max), but without losing quality . How can I do this easily? The conversion of JPG's is always afflicted with quality losses - and in addition into 16 grey tones... ... ...

It can happen that you buy a toner at auction (CHF 10.-) and get the matching printer for free...
So at least I have spare parts.

I have been using Mirage as a fast viewer for years.
With the Synaptic package manager it should be easy to find.

I'm sorry but I don't understand the last 2 posts. My carrier is Comcast, my download/upload speeds are about what they've been for a good long while, Download Mbps 147.74 Upload Mbps 5.95. My wife's windows computer, using the same connection is running perfectly...Thanks. -Howard If your stated u...

The analog aspect is now emerging (device independence... readability and understanding of the same...) and may be a joke number for the time being. If there will be a more or less cultivated humanity in the future, it will be a serious area of study. I don't know if I will be able to :mrgreen: :mrg...

Perhaps as a preparation: Any, really any Windows or Mac user can install very, very many of the free "Linux" programs on "his" or "her" or "their" operating system: Libre Office, GIMP, FreeCAD, Krita etc. pp. - run - and do it well. In a second step you can change your operating system. You already...

Problematic content: do not click on it.

Children, especially smart children, will crack any - EVERY - barrier.
Honesty helps, a reasonable education also and perhaps fishing and hiking: the better offer decides...

With 4G / LTE my provider promised me 54Mbits (corresponding to 6.75MBytes) maximum data throughput. It's nice that I already broke through the 8 MBytes limit at Central European bedtimes (technically, that seems to work...). At the main TV time (from 5.30 a.m.) the local dominant landline distribut...

I think my Casio should be somewhere deep, deep in a drawer: who knows? ...with new batteries?

Patricia? Patrizia..?

...not necessarily very inventive. Abbreviations wear out faster than the original.

In the early eighties my father had bought a Sharp pocket computer, with BASIC programming language. As kids we installed a golf game, which existed of nothing else but a number counting down till zero. You had to press exactly the right time for the number to land on ZERO exactly, which meant you ...

Remember the old days before optical mice, when we used to have to open them up and clean the little rollers because they'd collect lots of dust and gunk? Ah, the gold ol' days...

I still like the funny little balls of discarded Apple and PC mice. Kids love them too...
