Yeah this is a known issue in Grouped Window List in Cinnamon, hopefully it will be fixed at some point.

Thanks. So I already had a startup script that sets the background for me that seems to do the trick. Anyone know why this is happening or have a better solution though?

It's a known bug that existed for a long time, I don't think it's something Mint devs can fix, it's from Ubuntu or maybe X11.

I've had this problem in the past, try this, it might work, or it might not: Go to Startup Applications, click the plus button and choose "Custom command" and put this command: sh -c 'for name in 'centered' 'zoom'; do { gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.background picture-options $name; s...

@Helpwanted
Try changing the "Preferred Applications/Removable Media" to "Do Nothing"

Most important is providing the output of the terminal command Paste it in between the code tags (the button that looks like </>)

You don't need current software for a rescue disk.
Moreover there are rescue-oriented Linux distros that are specially customized for that job, like Rescatux and others.

thanks, already done but it seems that only the terminal will adjust!

You can change ALL of them by adjusting "Text scaling factor"

Mint comes with Firefox, doesn't it? Why did you download and unzip some Mozilla thing? What is it that you are trying to run exactly?

You need to change your network configuration to allow those http sites. I believe the repos are not https for a good reason.

When you are installing Mint, choose "Something else" and go from there.

This might be due to incompatibility between the theme you are using and the Qt that's used by VB. For example even though I'm using a dark theme, I get this on VB: vb.png Try different themes and see if that changes anything. Otherwise there must be something wrong with the kernel modules for VB an...

You might have to enable Virtualization support in your motherboard BIOS. Also it could be due to the full system encryption too. I'm guessing it has to decrypt whenever it's trying to use the virtual drive. So it slows or sometimes freezes. You have to understand that Virtualization is not a perfec...

That's really messed up. Probably reinstall.

That's just a bug in VB. It happens with some other distros as well. There are a lot of open tickets on VB website about it. I remember checking. If it is set to start in fullscreen mode it happens. Go back to vanilla settings on VB and switch to fullscreen manually every time.

There is some stuff about black screen here:

Can you provide the output of the terminal command In the terminal you can select text with the mouse, then copy it with Ctrl+Shift+C.
Paste it here in between code blocks (click on the </> button on top of the reply box that says "Code display")

No, Flatpak applications are all in one packages, they include their dependencies within themselves. That's why they take up so much space. You can remove them without any problems affecting other stuff.

Personally I do not use any Flatpak at all.

Go to Update Manager / Edit / Software Sources. Take a look at your "Mirrors" section. Mine are "Main (ulyssa): http://packages.linuxmint.com" with an American flag "Base (focal): http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" with a British flag Update Manager asks you if you want ...

Well we can't really know this, they are your files after all. Do you think you missed anything? Did you put anything in other directories (other than the ones you listed)? In your File Manager press Ctrl + H to view hidden files. Do you see anything important there? Moving .mozilla is probably not ...
