Linux Mint Forums

Here's an explanation of how mirrors work from xenopeek: viewtopic.php?p=2422061#p2422061

To be fair, this is the "Chat about Linux" subforum where other distros can also be discussed.
Also it's a bit relevant since Mint 22 coming this summer will be based on Ubuntu 24.04.

It's "quick search" just like in a normal Nemo folder.
Your desktop is also treated like a folder.
So you can "jump" to a desktop shortcut by typing its first letters.
Instead of \, try typing a letter that is the first letter of one of your desktop shortcuts.

but when will Software Manager have it? That would be... never :lol: You'll have to wait for Mint 22 in July / August. That's why it might be a reasonable idea to do the manual install. You'll have to worry about it only for a few months. Of course, if you are planning to upgrade from Mint 21.3 to ...

Hello SandwormSlayer This issue and related Software Manager issues are affecting a lot of users, and we are trying to put some priority on Mint devs. Broadly speaking, Flatpak integration in SM needs a lot more work. Can you add your voice to the conversation over here on this issue? I'd appreciate...

They simply remove youtube ads, in front of any local adblockers (which youtube can detect, and which then violate terms of service, so they block you until you disable them). That is not my experience with Firefox and uBlock Origin extension. Youtube is working just fine for me. Youtube started do...

I'm not anti-update, but I do hate change. Especially when change is done for change sake, and the program is something I use ever single day. Well you are in for some pain then :lol: The GUI side of not only open source, but all software in general, is known to "change for change sake" a...

Welcome to the Forum.

Not on MATE as far as I know.
The only two desktop environments with fractional scaling are Plasma and Gnome, to my knowledge.

Cinnamon has experimental fractional scaling

Firefox update today was very fast indeed!

Have you tried using sudo?

Here is another case: 1. So, if I enable snapd and just install any snap packages, but don't use any snap commands or apt commands after that. Does it still replace the existing packages or update from snap in the background without me knowing? 2. If I disable snap after installing a snap package, ...

Edit the file /etc/default/grub You can do this with the following Terminal command: xed admin:///etc/default/grub Then follow the rest of the instructions. But, instead of using sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg I would use: sudo update-grub It does the same thing, but shorter and less err...

No, you can't install it onto the live USB.
When you burn the ISO image onto the USB device, all data will be erased.
All you need is a 4GB USB stick.
If I were you, I would not risk any other data / device / SD card.
Just order the USB stick and wait.

Excellent, hopefully people will offer some help.

You might want to browse the code repositories of other Cinnamon third-party themes and look at their code commit histories, to see how they handled the changes.

I guess you can just uninstall the Software Manager version and do manual install? https://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html
Does the latest version from its website have the fixed luatex?
(I'm a MikTeX and pdflatex user, have no idea about luatex)

Welcome to the Forum. It's natural that those commands are not accepted, because the code is outdated. Python 3.7 is no longer supported. It looks like the repository was last updated 5 years ago, and now it's archived. It's not being maintained / developed anymore. So... you should not be installin...

I assume it's possible to use PyEnv in a bash script? I am guessing that it's not. PyEnv switches your Python version during a Terminal session. This is done via something called "shims", they are like environment variables if I'm not mistaken. I don't know if bash scripts preserve a &quo...

Is there any up to date fast connection and with normal download size software package I can add to software center or use from terminal? No. Either old version, or big download size. If you are lucky, your favorite apps might have Appimage versions. (You have to search for it) They have smaller si...

Here is an unofficial appimage version of Notion, use at your own risk: https://github.com/kidonng/notion-appimage Here are Notion alternatives: https://youtu.be/P8accXNcwjs?t=229 1. If I enable snapd, and then when I run "Sudo apt update" command, does it replace or update all of the exis...
