After I logout and login with another account then login again with my regular account that sign it disappear.
Strange... maybe it has something to do with vlc as I did not install any new sw on my computer just messed a little with vlc setting and some updates from manager.

what is this new sign on top at active window and how to get rid of him
Hello,

Any idea how I can get rid of this ?

Re: Problem making bootable USB stick
Have a look at Ventoy:
https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
All you have to do after you install Ventoy on your stick or portable ssd/hdd is to copy iso files and you can boot it instant.
It work ok with Linux Mint iso.

Re: Intel-microcode open source. Really? Where is it?
Some people still understand ASM, this is not the point. ~28 years ago I used to program in ASM self-replicate code that changed his form; compiled working code had final size under 2Kb. Have a look at microcode length, it size is from 2Kb to 100Kb... this is huge for pure ASM code just to correct s...

Re: Intel-microcode open source. Really? Where is it?
Spot on.
Intel microcode for sure it is Intel proprietary and encrypted.
It can contain anything Intel want including a bonus backdoor.

Re: ATTN!...Intel CPU owners (Spectre & Meltdown flaws)
I don't think i3-2350M have microcode update to mitigate Spectre / Meltdown yet.
check and see if date is at least 2017-07-xx or newer.
check

Re: ATTN!...Intel CPU owners (Spectre & Meltdown flaws)
Because Intel can lose so much money that we can't even dream if they lose control of the damage and what a better way than to have everything fuzzy and minimize the impact of this problem with careful crafted PR statements.
Time is passing and other security problems will hold the news.
