Re: how set Guest password?
In any case I only use my Notebook as a spare System if I bork my Desktop. It is a Thinkpad T430. I have Mint on this laptop and Manjaro on the my DIY Rig. That is the main one.

So what sort of graphics are you using? Off hand from a brief look, 16-bit?

Re: how set Guest password?
So can I setup that account to act the same way as a Guest one would? I don't want anyone using my Laptop without my permission.

Re: Does anybody still use DVDs?
Well if I was going to give someone a copy of Linux and he doesn't have a flash drive, then I will give him a DVD copy. I do watch DVD movies once in a while from Redbox.

Re: How often to run BleachBit
One more reason to have a separate root password...so the common user can't install potentially destructive apps... Saves me some grief Seriously, it is not a tool for the beginner. Personally I don't think it helps anything, Linux systems are usually pretty clean I've used it like once or twice an...

Re: What sends noobs running back to Windows?
You should never have to think about your operating system unless you want to think about it. You should just be able to turn it on, and get to work (or play). I think that is what most people find annoying about linux, is that it is still an enthusiasts operating system. Sort of like guys who cons...

Re: Who no longer trusts or uses Facebook?
The main reason I never gotten a FB account to begin is that I notice it is too easy to post very personal information that you normally wouldn't give to strangers.
And of the above post is good now to cancel it if I had one.

Re: $200 Laptop @ Best Buy - Will it work with Mint??
You might be better off looking for a second hand ex-corporate laptop, such as a Thinkpad T430. For about the same money you will get a much better machine, certainly a much faster processor. Personally, I'd never buy a second-hand laptop.... Desktop: fine. But not laptop. Reason: laptops consist o...

Re: What sends noobs running back to Windows?
Adding my own thoughts in here, some folks don't really want to learn anything different or even read a small amount of documentation no matter how little or easy it is to actually read even to learn how to do basic tasks. Another issue is a lot of new users assume Linux does things as the same way ...
