If it helps my mouse is a XENTA Wireless Optical Rechargable Mouse.

I see. I think I was probably just overthinking the question and I'm pretty happy with that topic now. On the subject of colours in the terminal however. Are all these colours standard? Are they the same across distros? I noticed in the terminal preferences you can change colour palettes? It seems t...

Since it states

Files with SUID enabled are also easily distinguishable

maybe it's referring to the red color of a file with the suid set

I think this must be it. I did not realise files with SUID permissions were red.

Thank you. I will mark as solved.

Hi, I am doing the following tutorial regarding SUID: https://linuxjourney.com/lesson/setuid-set-user-id I am stuck on the exercise on the right. "Look at the permission for /etc/passwd in detail, do you notice anything else? Files with SUID enabled are also easily distinguishable." Looking at the b...

The thumb buttons on my mouse used for going back and forth when browsing are reversed compared to when I used them on Windows (Forward goes back, back goes forward). So I want to switch them around. In Preferences > Mouse and Touchpad > Mouse, does changing the scrolling direction help? Hi, Unfort...

The thumb buttons on my mouse used for going back and forth when browsing are reversed compared to when I used them on Windows (Forward goes back, back goes forward). So I want to switch them around. I did some googling and ran xev -even...

From what I've read I should always be looking in the software manager for applications ...

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Hi Karl, Thank you for Replying, So as I understand it, the Main will be downloading updates from Linux Mint and the Base will be downloading updates from Ubuntu? This will be operating system updates as well as software when I use my software and package managers? Before this when I'd read Linux Mi...

In Software Sources there is main (tricia) and base (bionic). What is the difference between these two? Also why are they called tricia and bionic?

In regards to the actual mirrors I've just chosen the fastest ones, is this okay? I assume all the mirrors are safe and secure.

Thank you.

Hi,

I've just installed Chromium and the browser extension Ublock Origin, both through the software manager. Chromium does not have Ublock on it though, how do I connect them?

Thank you.
