Thanks.

I have upgraded to Linuxmint 20 from 19.3 using the instructions provided on the Mint Blog for upgrading.

But as shown in the screenshot the linux base version shows 4.5ubuntu3.1 ...

Is this correct? Or should it be 5.4?

Would generic or low latency kernel be the right choice for a typical Software Development Desktop or Laptop machine?

You don't need a low-latency kernel for development.

True. Thanks.

Typically a Java Web Developer would use an IDE, A Tomcat Server and a Database like Apache Derby in Network Server mode or My Sql or Postgres on his/her local machine Similarly a mo...

Recommend to try out this combination. I suppose you're going to be around 24x7 to help everyone who follows your advice to fix any issues when they post here. The very first piece of advice given to anyone who does that is to revert to a supported kernel. Those of us who do give their free time to...

I'm afraid you're really in over your head here and I hope you have the sense to do a system backup before trying anthing like this. Or, better, ask a proper support question. Well asking and doing it are two different things. Secondly, I believe there is open permission by the Forum administrators...

How to do it? Without your own research, experimentation and learning, with exceedingly great difficulty. There is no CONFIG_HZ_400 in the kernel .config, and the values that are there have been optimised over many years of testing. I actually want to only set the CONFIG_HZ options but leave rest a...

LMDE 4 is quite stable and very close to Linuxmint feel.

It would really be great to have a LMDE 4 Mate.

The short answer: to be decided. It's not known yet. It will most likely at minimum be supported for a few months until after an eventual LMDE 5 release to allow users time to do their upgrade, just as was the case for LMDE 3. LMDE has a small userbase but it is important to Linux Mint. See this bl...

I can understand you want 5+ years of support but it may not get that. If it doesn't get extended support you could still continue to use it if you can accept Linux Mint developed software and maintained packages (http://packages.linuxmint.com/) no longer get updates. It then mostly comes down to r...

Me or anyone would be fine with upgrading LMDE4 to LMDE5 as long as its seamless without any hiccups ... Just as I seamlessly updated from 19.3 to 20.0 Linuxmint Mate 5 years of support is of course utmost desirable just like Linuxmint for peace of mind. But so long as the upgrades are seamless thou...

I have linuxmint 19.3 installed. I installed the Xanmod LTS kernel 5.4.68 This kernel in combination with schedutil cpu governor gives excellent desktop performance along with processor power management. I ran a 480p video on youtube in firefox browser with this schedutil governor and xanmod kernel ...

LMDE 4 is indeed a semi-rolling release: you get new releases of Linux Mint developed software such as Cinnamon, Mint tools and X apps as regular updates through Update Manager and you get new releases of programs installed as Flatpaks automatically, but for packages installed from the Debian packa...

How long will LMDE4 be supported?

Will it take advantage of the Debian LTS take advantage of Debian LTS and provide LMDE4 with 5 years of support?

I have Linuxmint 19.3 installed running kernel 5.4.0-48-generic I want to recompile the kernel to set CONFIG_HZ at 400 How to do it? Also how to use the file /boot/config-5.4.0-48-generic as the config file? Should this file be used or a new one generated? I actually want to only set the CONFIG_HZ o...

I have Linuxmint 19.3 installed running kernel 5.4.0-48-generic When I check the file /boot/config-5.4.0-48-generic CONFIG_HZ_250=y # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set CONFIG_HZ=250 clearly the kernel is configured with CONFIG_HZ set at 250 But when I check the output of this comm...

Which desktop? In Xfce you can install xfce4-cpufreq-plugin in the panel for that also in Mate there's CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor or you can install specifics tools for that in repository as cpufrequtils (look at this by example) and out there. :roll: Try cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq...

Installed Linux mint 19.3 but am unable to see which CPU scheduler it is using as the does not have cpufreq. sudo cat /sys/block/<DEVICE>/queue/scheduler Presumably <DEVICE> for you is sda . To change it, you need to set up some complex udev rules. I was looking for CPU Scheduler not the IO Schedul...

I have a machine with Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500 processor.

Installed Linux mint 19.3 but am unable to see which CPU scheduler it is using as the does not have cpufreq. So I am unable to change it also.

Does intel processor use another driver for it?

I am running Linuxmint 19.3 with Kernel 5.3 and AMD A4-9125 processor. By chance I happened to come across schedutil cpu schedular and decided to use it. I must say I am pretty impressed by it. I think its the best in performance and battery life and I do recommend it to be used in place of ondemand...
