Linux Mint Forums

I was that non Linux user until three years ago when I adopted Mint. It wasn't the appearance of the OS that attracted me, nor was it the number of bells and whistles on the web site. In fact it was the very lack of such ephemeral nonsense, and the ease of installation & use of the OS that decided ...

Searching for Star Wars on Altavista.

I also have old laptops working perfectly. My main is a business class, maybe 7-9 years old(former Win10) running LM20 Cinnamon, my secondary is a Win7 era running LMDE. A third has XP on it, just for nostalgic reasons and running old games, its very rarely booted up though. Backup is on my NAS. HDD...

I've tried the oil as well, with no effect whatsoever.
No effect to pain or sleep.
Glad to see it worked for you though.

"Star Wars" that was in the early 90's. One of my friends is a tech head and the first I knew that had internet. He had an ISDN connection, which at the time was pretty fancy, because he could use the internet AND the phone at the same time. Pamela Anderson was often searched, also Gillian Anderson,...

I'd probably use Debian, I prefer stability over bleeding edge.

I did an upgrade on my main laptop and a clean install on my secondary with no problems and issues whatsoever ..

You also mentioned guaranteed not to be approved; self-build anyway Why would this be not approved in your country just out of curiosity ?...DAMIEN In Europe, all motorised vehicles must be factory made. So putting a 2-stroke engine on a bike, makes it a moped or a scooter. Then it needs a national...

Aaaawww! Thx Damien. I would trade it any day for your bike though.

Blackbirds singing.
The sound the water makes when I'm sailing or the sound of water lapping against the hull of the boat when I'm in the bunk going to sleep.

Wow! That's a very pretty bike, Might even go to "beautiful".
I've been building a pizza oven, I foolishly agreed to make a terrace with it and removed too much dirt and clay.
That needed to be filled with more gravel and sand.

It really depends on what your needs are.
I use MacOs for Xcode to learn how to make apps for iPhone/Pad and Logic Pro to make music.
For every other task, Linux is just as good. Albeit, it has another feel to it.
Linux is definetely cheaper.

My Desktop is a 2017 27" iMac, it works perfectly, for me at least. Only bad thing is, upgrading from Mojave to Catalina, my Apogee Gio hasn't worked flawlessly. Because Catalina doesn't support 32-bit HW. Mojave did. Most programs costs money, if you need other ones not coming with the OS it self. ...

My main laptop is 15,6", a Lenovo L520.
I use it mostly on the couch and have travelled with it too.
It fits me perfectly.

"I like big laptops and I cannot lie"

I see what you did there Sir Mix A Lot, thanks for tonight's ear worm

Yup! Its been in my head ever since I wrote that.

"I like big laptops and I cannot lie"
The bigger the screen, the better.

I tried Ubuntu Studio in a virtualbox for some time, before I landed on LM. I saw a video on Youtube where a professional studio used Ubuntu Studio. That got me interested. Anyway, I already have an iMac and two others in the band also uses Apple products. So we went down that road. So we use Garage...

I just watched WWDC 2020 Keynote(news from Apple) and they will ship Macs with their own "Custom silicon", so they are dropping Intel CPU's. Do you think that the "Custom silicon" will lock the device to macOS only? I certainly hope not, but that could be a problem when that device isn't supported b...

But this is basically to say that you should live with it... Ok, I can do that. :D I have searched high and low for a solution for this and can't find an answer. You need to look in your machine's manual for the answer. Specifically, boot order. Setting the boot order might settle the issue, but th...

Well ... It's not a problem as such, but it annoys me a bit. I installed a m.2 SSD and installed LM on it. The old spinning HD was wiped. The thing is, I'd like the SSD to be sda and not sdb. I have searched high and low for a solution for this and can't find an answer. All I found was something to ...
