If you enable viewing hidden files in your home directory, find Mozilla and Chromium and delete them. Those were your personal settings. Otherwise, best to leave the rest of the root directory alone.

/home "data" ... - doesn't exactly sound like Windows... Maybe I ask stupid - but a not insignificant company in the northwest of the United States behaves at least as stupid... It can be used for this with something like Grsync, or even copy/paste from Home to it, and still be used in Windows if i...

That was easy

CD lacks capacity. DVD R is what you used and need. Any quality brand should be fine. Verbatim works well.

So, I'll just say it - this is a bad design. When I right click on a device and select Safely Remove Device, three things happen: Short delay and the icons for the device vanish from the desktop. Then, a short delay and the wewooweet USB disconnect sound-effect happens. Then, a (good) few more seco...

For flash drives with Cinnamon, the easiest is to use with a mouse, I think, is right click the icon and choose Eject. Watch the tray icon and when it disappears, you can remove the drive. If a flash drive has Safely Remove in the right click menu, it's still best to use Eject. For portable hard dri...

We don't know if the OP wants Windows access on that drive. I suppose the simple answer is, Ext4 if no Windows, and NTFS if yes Windows. Btrfs and XFS have worked well for me though. I'm a sucker for trying different things. I'm glad Linux and Windows is oil and water. Hope it always stays that way....

I forgot to mention exFAT doesn't support TRIM, so NTFS would be your only viable choice. Both Windows and Mint support TRIM with it.

It's in Disks. When you format with it it's in the "Other" options. You highlight the drive on the left and click the 2 gears under the window>choose format>label it and then choose "Other". Of course it has to have a partition table first, either MBR or GPT (Disks or Gparted will do that if needed).

If you want to use it in Mint and Windows, it would need to be NTFS or exFAT. If only Mint, the Ext4, XFS, Btrfs, are all good choices. Ext4 is the file system most users would choose. I really like Btrs and XFS; they all support TRIM.

Size of flash drive for Mint 19.1, 19.2, 19.3: The iso files are 2GB. A 4GB flash drive is adequate. A 2GB flash drive really doesn't have a full 2GB usable space, I doubt it would be adequate, although back when the iso files were smaller like Mint 17.x it would have been ok to use a 2GB drive. You...

There are a few ways to configure Timeshift for more complete recovery. The first pic is default settings, the 2nd is essentially everything but Home, the third is everything but your data.

Ya but OP said he got a permission problem when trying to open the files with the timeshift image.

I'm thinking he tried to access them directly from the SD card. In which case he'd get that permission dialog. Just have to wait until he responds.

The best I know of is Sticky-Indicator. Essentially sticky notes. To install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:umang/indicator-stickynotes sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install indicator-stickynotes Every time your PC boots up, the note(s) will be on the desktop. To create a certain look for font and ...

My Logitech mouse is what it shows after enabling it again. It shows 55%

I have two different ones and that always read 55%. My logitech wireless keyboard always reads 95% no matter what. They just don't seem to report something properly.

Now, at least I know they're not picking on me

After apt purge --autoremove komorebi run the commands in this post viewtopic.php?p=1582125#p1582125

That's much easier and cleaner! We're lucky to have you
