Linux Mint Forums

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...

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.

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...

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...

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. ...

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...

Fabio's Art I make a font slim Very nice. Look I feel free!! "Linux Mint Freedom" Made from gimp By Fabio Morales https://imgur.com/gallery/UBDavW7 https://66.media.tumblr.com/cc275053455239c6d1a83a12fff96ff9/934c2553847bc86a-83/s640x960/a33dba40a9bd7a2c19dda2c8db84503aed59dbca.jpg What w...

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...

At work, I have a 6 year old Logitech MX Mouse that has 7 extra buttons. Yes, extra buttons. The two main left and right click make 9 total. I had to have IT install the unifying receiver driver and the mouse configuration software but I am able to configure those buttons to do whatever I need with ...

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.

3. I use this theme on my operating system and it feels like windows 10, and even better. Linux mint is something serious right now, its a good company even if linux mint is for free, the reason linux mint had 2594 users online in Wed Apr 01, 2020 is because of this Windows 10 theme, people want th...

That's a pretty cool desktop background.

Thank you! You can download it from here.

When somebody from Redmond is the real administrator on my computer and there are a bunch of numbered folders that I cannot open as so-called administrator on a machine that I OWN and I have to sign all my confidentiality and privacy rights away in the pre-install EULA and I have no option other th...

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...

Remember, while many of the software titles for Linux are GNU public license, you are talking about the commercial aspect of software development. Don't get me wrong, I am a BIG supporter of commercialism and commerce. Without a thriving commercial industry, any economy can turn into garbage very qu...

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 ...

My wife has installed for my daughters the ubuntu 16.04 LTS but I do not like the look. Well, this is my Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon desktop. https://i.imgur.com/V83V73T.png I like the look and feel of macOS. I don't like they way Apple forces their point of view on everyone. You can do anything you w...

I have an iMac 9.1 that is my usual daily driver. It has Mint 19.3 Cinnamon and runs flawlessly. The only requirement is an Intel-based Mac. I will offer these caveats. Buy a wireless mouse/keyboard pair. I use a Logitech but any brand will be fine. Just get the one you prefer. Never, ever, ever use...
