Though I would still like to know why using large SSDs is so slow. External and USB will always be slow. Plus you were making a file operation that is too large, that will always be very slow no matter what: SSD/HDD, Windows / Mac / Linux. This is because of a long queue of file system operations (...

1) You really can survive with a single Timeshift snapshot, so taking up space on your external SSD should not be that much of a problem, provided that you are only snapshotting your system and are backing up your user data some other way. My experience is that Timeshift and Deja-Dup (my backup pro...

Backstory: I've been having trouble with Timeshift, as for whatever reason trying to do a rsync backup to a 256gb Kingston DataTraveler SSD USB stick is excruciatingly slow. . . . So what do I do now? Is the best answer to just copypaste all important files and reinstall? I would also like to know ...

Backstory: I've been having trouble with Timeshift, as for whatever reason trying to do a rsync backup to a 256gb Kingston DataTraveler SSD USB stick is excruciatingly slow. As the GUI can't be opened while it is running, it has led me to just take out the stick to cut Timeshift. But for whatever re...

On the file manager when right-clicking on a USB flash drive, it says "Avaa", which means "Open". "Irrota" would be the correct translation, at least the closest I can think of. I have confused it for the same as opening the properties panel or in the Disks window and g...

Just little feedback on the 21.1 version. Launching TF2 I get a "program unresponsive" message without even pressing a button! From the days I used W10 half a year ago, it didn't do it until about 15 seconds of unresponsiveness from a game like TF2. But because some other games I've played...

Hello YusS FIN, I don't know if I have understood all, but let me ask some questions: Ever since I changed from W10 Do you have now a dual boot with Windows? 1st Problem: From your description it seems for me, that you could solve this problem with the equalizer from pulseeffects. Is that right? I ...

Well, now I discover Linux Mint 20.3 doesn't have full emoji support... Gonna find out a way to fix this and put a update here, just in case (expect if this reply goes against forum rules)

Hello, not a exact solution, but I have the same problem and just learned that you can right click to insert emojis to text editor or other Linux apps. I already had a shortcut to the text editor for other purposes and it works fine if you put emojis there and then copypaste it to another place. Sti...

I got spooked out of W10 to Linux Mint by that awesome popular Indian guy living in Canada on YouTube. Can say that I'm very happy with Linux, although I have some small problems
And as my poorly designed name says, I am a Finnish person.

Hello! I'm a new user of Linux Mint Cinnamon. Ever since I changed from W10, I have noticed a slight but annoying change in audio. I did my testing in Half-Life 2 and found 2 problems. 1st Problem: Quiet noises and loud noises have a very noticeable cap between them, where if I turn volume up to hea...
