Ok you suck, but how much you need terminal? Sure some basic commands are needed a few times, but today almost everything can be done without terminal. On emergency cases you might need terminal more. But again emergency is emergency, it's not an every day need and for these you can find help on th...

Mint 19 should be easy as pie to install. Mint 20 is buggy as h*ll on AMD laptops (that's my experience).

don't know about buggy as heck, but missing way to many things in repositories compared to mint 19.

as already stated though, just run a live version to test, but should install very easily.

yes, if your isp provides/supports it, use it. ipv6 seems to be hit and miss at times on most isp's from what i've read on other forums, as far as staying connected, so might want to keep an eye on that. i have native ipv6 here on charter spectrum and a 3.1 docsis modem and a fairly new and updated ...

won't do any good to complain to anyone except the game site as flash is dead, period!

maybe a dumb reply, but why didn't you just create the HnK/Hnk directory first and then simply cut and paste the mkv files into that directory? what you did is exactly why i try to avoid the command line, not to mention typing out all that crap is a pain compared to simply cutting and pasting. ya, i...

OUCH. :shock: At least you stopped it in time. I did something stupid many years ago, costing me 1TB of data, most of which was very important to me; I was crushed. Luckily, I had a decent amount backed up. The messed up thing, is that it was my inadvertently misusing the dd(1) command in order to ...

I googled up this thread after developing a near identical problem. I had failure on "apt-get update" after trying the directory rename fix Resulting in Fetched 43.0 MB in 2min 20s (308 kB/s) Reading package lists... Error! E: Encountered a section with no Package: header E: Problem with ...

This is just crazy. It's very probably totally and utterly unnecessary for the OP to want a 4.15.x kernel. :shock: Agree! I have many old computers running Linux Mint 20. The oldest one is 14 years old running Linux Mint 20 XFCE. I have many 10-11 year old computers running Linux Mint 20.0 and 20.1...

I'm new here, where can i download a Linux Mint 32bit. Just to play around with my old Laptop which has an 32bit Processor? To be honest: Provided your statement about the 32-bit processor is true, then your hardware will be so old and so powerless, from today's perspective, that is unlikely that y...

just as a fwiw post, haven't been on one of my linux machines in a while, but my waterfox did update to newest version like usual.

topic is officially solved

how do have waterfox installed, or are you running the executable file within the downloaded waterfox folder? i have an issue where if i run the file from the folder, i can't do anything with bookmarks except import them. can't edit, remove or add bookmarks. in fact, have a topic on here from a whil...

Or if you live in a house, not a flat or bungalow - turn the tap on, take the laptop into the room underneath the bathroom and wait for the drips of water to start hitting your head. The flaw with that method is eventually the bath will fall through as the boards under it will rot. good one! LOL i'...

YES - it's an educated guess .. for sure, but .. that's what it usually is, when some 'ram' goes missing. :) on on Desktop machine, the external video cable will go into the video port on the main motherboard, & whereas it's to an separate port, for an external video card.. non-intergrated card...

thanks for that reply. the problem i had using deb file was that i was never able to add, remove or edit bookmarks, so that was a no go for me, when adding it via hawkeye ppa, or what ever you call it, it functioned 100% correctly, so that's the route i had to go. sure hope installing the new versio...

posted this same question over on the waterfox/reditt forums and got this for a response: sudo apt install waterfox-g3 that did install newest/current waterfox and it looks like it will update on it's own. will see when next update comes out, then i will mark topic as solved or not. big time differe...

if you're that worried about losing it all, then don't upgrade. mint 19.3 is supported until 2023!

just thought i'd add that no update to newest version yet on mint 19 or 20 :( You'd be better off complaining to the waterfox people, Mint has nothing to do with when the newest version comes out. Mint uses Ubuntu repos for app software, and ubuntu doesn't have anything to do with it either. yes, i...

Looking at that link, both installation methods involve using the apt packaging system. WHich means you're going to be notified of any available Linux waterfox updates. It doesn't matter if there's a new WIndows version and not a Linux ones yet. This happens all the time with the browsers I use, th...

currently have waterfox 2020.10 current version installed from here, https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ahawkeye116477%3Awaterfox&package=waterfox-current-kpe i think! the reason i say i think is because on this computer i have mint 20 installed on this computer but my...
