Re: Latest Chromium "upgrade"...

Just got the update and not a lot different from the last version for me except the little conical flask offering 3 other features, of which one I might take them up on (saving tabs)

Re: Time to change browser?

I'm using Chromium Version 123.0.6312.58 (after new update today) and uBlock Origin 1.56.0 and works fine for me.

Re: Seeking HOWTO select minimum install from full download ISO

1) Don't think you can easily. Try different distro or xfce. Or install with persistence, uninstall the software you don't want. Not sure Ventoy (see below) supports persistence. 2) Try Ventoy. Once it is set up you can just copy over .iso images and when you boot from the usb drive it comes up with...

Re: seeking HOWTO get android phone notifications at Mint 21.3 desktop

Unless someone posts back with better ideas, you could try KDE Connect. Not sure exactly what notifications you'll be able to get though and it would be through KDE (if it does work) rather than the DE. Doing a quick search in F-Droid brings up a few nice things that may or may not work - at least t...

Re: Recover Deleted File on USB HDD

Sometimes. Don't use the drive at all till you are ready to run recovery. Obviously(?) What file system is on the drive? If it is NTFS or FAT, I would recommend using Windows recovery software on a friend's Windows (getdataback or similar.) You could try Testdisk/Photorec (from repository) if you ha...

Re: Confusion .... What don't I understand ?

Depends on how pedantic we are trying to get. Most people understand that Apple and Microsoft are different, but then we are also talking the difference between hardware and software - so people in the latter camp might not actually understand what an operating system is. A lot of people I know swit...

To add to what Spamegg said, Yes, but also people should be aware that a different operating system will be 'different' - doesn't matter whether you swap to/from Windows etc. Should they be made aware before installing a new OS. or does everyone assume that people just know that? It might not be tha...

Can you use the OS clone of device 1 for device 2?
Sometimes.

Depends how different the hardware is - if you have loaded specific drivers etc. Mostly might be a problem between NVidia and non-NVidia or some wifi hardware.

Try it and see - what do you lose? A half hour?

Do you mean that you need to type in the password?

When you open update manager, if there are updates and you click to install them, it brings up a password box. Is that what you mean?

Re: Confusion .... What don't I understand ?

Excellent.
As you have seen, Linux (and especially Mint) is all about choice.
No one will tell you what you MUST or MUST NOT have.

If you have any other more specific questions, probably best to start a new thread.

Good luck.

Re: Upgrading to LM21.3 Virginia

Unfortunately my upgrade (not a new install) to 21.3 didn't go too well. On rebooting after going through the fast upgrade process (4 or 5 minutes tops), the taskbar had disappeared. No Mint menu etc. At least could double click on icons that were on desktop and could rightclick to get into Terminal...

+1 to above 2 answers. You'll worry yourself to sleep if you start looking at those messages. Mostly they are the machine looking for hardware/configurations/other magical items, not finding it (because it isn't there), and telling itself that it hasn't found that item so it can continue to the next...

However - you don't say what hardware you have so if you have an internal spinny drive you are transferring to/fr...
