Linux Mint Forums

Take an image and then delete them. It's what I first do on any new to me PC - take an image backup of win, delete and do my stuff. In the unlikely event that I would ever sell one of my PCs I can restore the win backup. You don't even need to do that with win10, download an iso, install it and win...

I used to multiboot 3 - 5 Linux distros, mostly Ubuntu-based systems. (No interest in Arch-based, Debian-based, none, nada, zero. My main focus is in real applications such as Drawing programs, Word, etc. Zero interest in tinkering with operating systems like other people do. To me their only functi...

Mine is Linux Mint Xfce (always current distro version). Side by side with Kubuntu latest LTS. It used to be Mint Cinnamon, but it is still not playing well with nvidia drivers no matter which version. I don't think they will ever fix it. My needs are simple: Access to single click icons. Less mouse...

Best software I have used before was Metamorphose. It's got a graphical UI and easy to use, but it's in Windows. I use it every once in a while, but very rarely. Now I'm wondering about it whether it still exists or it's got a Linux version. And I found this: http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/i...

They give up on Linux because they can't give up the applications or programs they use with Windows. In my case I had to look for alternatives like Libre Office for MS Office, Gimp for Photoshop, Inkscape for CorelDraw or Illustrator, and many others. Linux is just an operating system. There would b...

I made a similar thread here:

Linux that looks and feels like Windows 10?
viewtopic.php?f=61&t=328657

I don't know what's the big deal. I only tried it once and I got lost when installing software. I thought it's different because I'm so used to doing it the Ubuntu-based way. And I'm not going to change what I'm used to doing anytime soon. I think some people will always opt for something that is no...

Thanks for the info.Perhaps in the future I will try this Linux distribution.(Although i really like Mint ) I'm also using Linux Mint Cinnamon and Xfce. And I've only tried this Windows-like distro on a usb flash drive. What I liked about it is it's Ubuntu-based. And it's clearly Cinnamon with enha...

I would have preferred that the devs emulated Windows XP rather than Win 10.
But at least they showed that it can be done, graphics-wise, unlike others like Zorin
and others which promote their distros as appropriate choices for Windows users
when there rarely is any resemblance at all.

Seems this/these developer/s spent enormous amounts of time developing this distro.

Going back to this thread, I have upgraded to Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon and Xfce. It is so mind-boggling to me that Cinnamon still has this flickering issue while Xfce don't. (I don't like Mate, so I won't mention it here.) I really would like to just use Cinnamon and discard Xfce, but this issue just ...

I didn't see the VBlank and the RENDER extension. (Are you using Cinnamon?) The others like disabling Windows Effects and Compositing for full-screen Windows didn't do anything. I don't like/use MATE. This issue doesn't happen in Xfce, but I prefer Cinnamon's workflow/features and Kubuntu as a secon...

Open NVIDIA X Server Settings to the OpenGL Settings page. Move the Image Settings slider all the way to the left, to High Quality . Then try the other direction all the way to the right, to High Performance . The setting Allow Flipping should not be enabled. Same result: https://i.postimg.cc/28JXk...

Open NVIDIA X Server Settings to the X Server Display Configuration page and click the Advanced button. Select ForceFullCompositionPipeline . Click Save to X Configuration File . Type: /etc/X11/xorg.conf You can also try the ForceCompositionPipeline option. I had hoped that would work. It didn't, u...

By the way, the issue is about screen tearing, if that's what it's called;
random flashing bands on the screen during screen casting process.
And it's only when NVDIA drivers are installed.

Have you tried Cinnamon's native screen recorder? Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R to toggle on and off. No. I doubt it has extra features like specifying the size and location of the screen, other than full-screen mode. It's not about the application. It's about the drivers. You can use any app or any native scre...

Been trying to attach a gif image to show clearly the issue I've been experiencing when I use a screen capturing app like Kazam, etc. This forum system says, "File is too large..." when it's only tiny. Really, really, extremely frustrating system to deal with which is bad because it doesn'...

Or is there even such a thing?

In KDE apps you go to:

Settings > Display and Monitor > Compositor, then

In the Rendering Backend category there are 3 choices:
OpenGL 3.1
OpenGL 2.0
XRender

Just curious whether the upgrade process automatically deletes files that are no longer useful.
Would be glad if they are as they just take space and makes the whole system too large to handle.

Not all of us have free time to start from scratch all over again.
Would rather do the upgrade.
