Re: It is heck getting old
Although getting old is not fun, it is preferable to dying, isn't it? :D I'll be celebrating my 93rd birthday in another 7 months, and although my doctor tells me that the pump which is my heart is wearing out, I have too much to do to die for a few more years. Linux gave me an incentive to exercise...

Choosing bootable drive on startup......
If this is the wrong section for the subject, it will be appreciated if it could be transferred to where it should be, please. I hope to exercise my ancient brain during 2024 by venturing into FreeBSD - because it's different - but I have no idea if what I want to do is possible. Here is my current ...

Re: Fonts -removing Noto (foreign fonts)
Did you realize that you deleted fonts-noto-color-emoji this way? Most users would like to have system-wide emoji support. Anyway, It is better to uninstall fonts via apt than manually delete system directories. Hi! I avoided that by saving the Noto fonts I thought I could need at some point and no...

Fonts -removing Noto (foreign fonts) (SOLVED)
Using Linux Mint v21.2 MATE and LibreOffice v7.3.7.2 Thanks to Ptor's helpful hints, I always remove the Asian fonts installed by default, but it doesn't include the Noto fonts which remain in LibreOffice. It could be that they are installed by LibreOffice independently. As I will never use them I w...

Re: what the heck is DIODON?
Hi,
Unfortunately, the link you quote returns an error.
However, I have tried Sticky Notes and for some reason it doesn't sit comfortably with me. So, I'll stick with Diodon fo the present.

Re: what the heck is DIODON?
As a clipboard manager, Diodon is a joke. I tried it out because my old standby, which I had been very happy with, would no longer work properly when I installed Mint 21.1. :( Hi! Interested to learn which clipboard manager you use as your default. At present I use Diodon and really have no issues ...
