Re: Is Linux better then Windows at all ?
I don't think that Microsoft cares for Windows any differently, there are as likely bugs and issues left unfixed and swept under the carpet. I used to work for "a major financial institution" and on the second Tuesday of every month Microsoft would release all of their Windows operating s...

Re: Cinnamon crashed into fallback mode on LM20.2
If you have a Timeshift backup, boot into a LiveUSB of Mint and use the Timeshift app on the USB to restore the previous snapshot.

Re: Is this looking good or should i change?
To me, the Google Drive folder shows as empty. However, here is my screen for Mint 19.2 Cinnamon. https://i.imgur.com/MhWcA8X.png The background windows use Aqua as their colors while the foreground windows use the red, yellow, green colors. The dock is Cairo-Dock using the Alu theme. I've also inst...

Re: Linux mint Ulyssa dual boot Win 10 keeps breaking
Another thing to check is if your BIOS has a Secure Mode feature. Make sure it is off . Secure mode generally means "This computer is secure from booting anything other than Windows." And as AndyMH has intimated, yes, Windows will break GRUB after reboots and updates. Microsoft is a jealou...

Re: Is there a Mac OS 8/9 style theme?
Hello everyone, I'm loving Mint so far as a newb to Linux and this seems like a great forum. Is there a theme out there to give a System 7 or Mac OS 8-9 vibe to Mint? I've been in love with this look for 20 years and it'd be the iceing on the cake for me. :D I only have a macOS 10 theme I created. ...

Re: More new toys courtesy of People with Attitudes
I.T. is always the red-headed step child of any business, non-profit or otherwise. The idiots in charge see I.T. as a money pit; they have to pay money to have one but I.T. does not bring in any money to the company. So I.T. is always treated with disdain. Any administrator that treats I.T. that way...

Re: Another Convert gets rid of Windows
I've just had another installation, an Asus Aspire, walk out the door and very happy. Mint and an SSD installation. It takes 21 seconds to boot from cold. He left a Lenovo B41-30 for the same to be done to. A "pig of a thing" to get into the BIOS. No, it ignored Fn + F2. Ended up going th...

Re: Hard drive full and GRUB not showing "Advanced Options"
When you boot into the Mint LiveUSB, open Gparted but don't change anything. Take a screen capture of Gparted showing the partitions on your hard drive. Then post the image back here. It would be helpful to know just what is on that drive and see where the problem is.

Re: Linux Mint is the best distro out there right now
I agree with you. If someone wants to make their Mint system look like Windows 10, that's fine. If it helps them in the transition from Windows to Linux, great! My desktop looks like macOS. Which is weird because I've never owned an Apple product that used macOS. https://i.imgur.com/V83V73T.png I g...

Re: Now that 18.3 is close to EOL
All of the systems in my house are on Mint 19.2 or 19.3 Cinnamon. Like JoeFootball , I usually wait for the x.2 or x.3 version because they are incredibly stable. I'm waiting for 20.2 and then I'll install it on this laptop. I'm not worried about end of life because all versions of Mint have always ...
