It depends. If I am in a distro hopping phase, then several times a month. If not, then I try to avoid doing a reinstall, except when it is absolutely necessary. However I am very tired of distro hopping, and watching talking head linux review videos on youtube, and then getting an inkling of tryin...

Hello everyone!!! Very new to Linux. My question relates to software versions and the Linux Kernel. Today I downloaded Mint 21 Cinnamon. My understand is that this is LTS and good for 2027. What does this mean? Really drawing a lot of questions related to software.. Does this mean the software will...

Zero issues on my system. Then again I just upgrade between point releases, and do a clean install on a major release. So 21 was a clean install. Having a seperate /home partition makes doing a clean install quick and easy. There is a warning when doing an update about gpg keys and PPAs. However tha...

A bit of progress on this. Doing a search on the internet, led to a post on the flatpak github page discussion forum: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/709#issuecomment-741883444 which mentions the commands: flatpak --user override --filesystem=/home/$USER/.icons/:ro flatpak --user override ...

At the moment I am running a clean install of Linux Mint 21. However I have noticed a small issue, inconsistency between the mouse cursor style and size between native applications, and Flatpak applications (particularly those which are QT based). I did ask this question on the Linux Mint facebook g...

Thoughts? I don't use Chromium, but are there any other options under the "Customised Files" button in the lower-right of the Open Files dialog? Thanks for the reply. I can select "all files" on the chromium open file dialogue, which then lets me see all the files including the ...

Hi All. A bit of a strange one. I tend to use Chromium as me default web browser (97.0.4692.71) on Mint 20.3. System specs: System: Kernel: 5.13.0-27-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: N/A Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7 wm: muffin 5.2.0 dm: LightDM 1.30.0 Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal...

One other way to test computer / laptop cooling issues, is to run the stress command. It's not installed by default on Linux mint, but easily installed by apt install stress Using this command you can fully load your cpu, e.g for my Ryzen 7 3700x system, 8 cores, 16 threads, I use stress -c 16 , and...

I can kind of see both sides of the debate. Flatpaks are somewhat larger, especially if it requires certain frameworks to be installed, e.g. Gnome or KDE stuff.More space is used if a flatpak requires a certain version of a framework, compared to another flatpak which requires a different version, e...

I've recently built a new PC and when I am trying to boot 20.2 from a USB I get hung up at the mint logo, it wont go past this part and just freezes. I've searched around and found similar issues but haven't found a fix yet. Ryzen 7 3700x AMD rx5500 MSI b550 tomahawk 16gb ram Interestingly, that's ...

It's currently Mint 20 Cinnamon edition I'm running, with the proprietory NVidia drivers for my Nvidia GTX1660 GPU. I don't game, but I use the GPU for OpenCL acceleration, Lately I've been finding Mint 20 a bit sluggish. Perhaps an install of LMDE may be better? Worth a try and some benchmarking I ...

I finished playing that not long ago on the PS4! Very enjoyable, as it was the first time I had played the Bioshock series!

conflict with the default installation of bluetooth app of Mint?

So far I haven't noticed any conflict, but I did remove the default bluetooth app from the Cinnamon applets.

Look under "Filters - Map - Resynthesize" That doesn't appear as an option in Gimp 2.10.24 installed via flatpak, but it is in version 2.10.18 installed via the software manager. Thanks. It's there under "Filters - Map - Resynthesize" but it doesn't work very well. In other word...

LM20 Cinnamon I want to add the "Send by Bluetooth" command to the context menu of Nemo. To do so, I added in /home/rost/.local/share/nemo/actions File name: SendByNemo.nemo_action File content: [Nemo Action] Name=Send by Bluetooth Exec=bluetooth -sendto Selection=Any However the context ...

I must admit I'm guilty of distro swapping at the moment, currently I'm running Kubuntu 20.04 Very flexible and customisable is the KDE Plasma desktop. But it can also be over complicated with endless settings for your options. Plus sometimes there are just tiny little paper cuts which add up to an...

I find Mint 20.1 Cinnamon logs in in at ~650mb on idle after logging in. I hope you mean for the entire system and not for Cinnamon itself. Cinnamon itself really shouldn't be that high. As for KDE I try it every once in awhile and find the performance really good. For me it's just a personal disli...
