Linux Mint Forums

All I did recently over there was asking "why a lot of Linux includes Ubuntu got hacked by Ransomware"
I was not trying to against Ubuntu at all, I just want to get some technical responses. Seem like admin would ban anyone over there as long as not saying Ubuntu is the best in the world.

Hi bally1001, I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well. There are many really good posts already in this forum on using Linux regarding online banking which in my humble opinion (IMHO) and others is much safer than other operating systems. But, that doe...

Does live usb version without latest browser safe?

Then I'd go for 64GB minimum, USB 3.0 or 3.1 if your system supports it. Otherwise forget it as running the distribution would be too slow. I used a Sandisk Ultra Fit to run Fedora for a while. That got exceedingly hot though because the internals were of course shrouded by the USB port itself. I w...

. ⋱ ➢The "best" will get some very subjective (fan boy) responses. :lol: ⋰ I have no idea what the "best" is; however, I have had good luck with the PNY brand. I have a variety of 16GB, 32GB, and 128GB devices. I bought them from Frys while they were on sale. You will notice the...

Most of the newer problems with dual-booting are solved by using an UEFI setup instead of BIOS. I've been dual-booting off-and-on since Windows XP/Redhat Enterprise Linux back in the early 2000's and have never had any major problems. Just make sure you're dual-booting for the right reasons - serio...

I thought about dual boot then found out this video. Sound like very bad. I am having Windows 10 in multiple computers and I don't need a pure LInux Mint machine. Install full Linux Mint in an USB stick is a good idea for my case?

I heard Sandisk extreme pro is the best but it is too expensive. Any cheaper suggestion? Thanks.

I am choosing between MX Linux and linux mint lmde 3 for my around 13 years old notebook T60 Thinkpad with just 2gb ram and the cpu only supports 32 bits, which one should I choose and why?

Will there be 32 bits version?

My old notebook cpu does not support 64 bits. Is the 32 bits LMDE good for long term use with support and update? Would 2gb ram enough for some smooth basic usage like web browsing?

Your laptop battery will be done very soon anyway if you keep watching video like this anyway.

For non-IT person, spend time to learn Linux may not worth it. For IT person this is a hobby and the knowledge that need to know.

Since Mint is based on Ubuntu, Mint is meant to be an improvement of what you get with Ubuntu. Otherwise, there is no point in making it (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). ... I don't think Mint was created as an improvement to Ubuntu so much as to create an alternative Linux distribution. ...

I am a little concerned about the effect of not being able to master Linux, is having on people. It has to be the most unintuitive learning process, I have ever encountered. Absolutely not one thing I have tried to achieve has been any kind of pleasure, everything seems to be a 'learn by stressful ...

I've tried both...that's why I use Linux Mint...say no more and the fact Canonical is partnered with Micro$oft would put off anyone.

With amazon river right?

Here are a few key differences.... Main Edition Mint is always based on the last LTS Ubuntu release (18.04). Both Mint and Ubuntu share the same apt software repositories. Mint also has an extra Mint specific repository - providing additional packages and modified or different versions of packages ...
