Re: Foxclone support thread

Thanks to Foxclone and Clonezilla I have been able to clone many HDD's/SSD's and replicate my OS setups on other Desktops & Laptops saving me time & effort, although both are excellent choices, I tend to recommend Foxclone more because the instructions on the user manual and the GUI are easi...

Re: In Praise of "Kiddie" Distros

Ignore those idiots. Nothing will please them unless its something they did. Saying linux Mint is a "kiddie Distro" is a very stupid and unkind comment to the developers. Linux Mint is capable of doing anything the other distros can do. Its an extremely well developed flavor of linux and ...

Re: Mint 21 recommended NVIDIA 390 driver gives black screen

Your system will run slow due to the age, it's 13yrs. LM21 is for newer hardware, you could try LM21 Mate or LM20.3. Cinnamon is very resource hungry, stay with the default video driver LM install, Nvidia drivers are problematic. My HP Elite Book 8540p it's almost that old at it outperforms even ne...

Re: [SOLVED] Mint 21 recommended NVIDIA 390 driver gives black screen

I've done a clean install of Mint 21 Cinnamon on an old PC. All went well and it booted up cleanly and offered an update to the Nvidia GeForce GT430 to the recommended, non open-source 390 driver. Did that but it booted to a black screen. So purged the recommened driver and booted back OK to the no...

Re: Hard drive full won't boot. Can I access from live CD?

Is it possible to access HDD from mint live cd? Yes, boot your live CD. First run gparted to confirm that your / partition is full. You will find gparted on the admin menu. Drive selection is a drop-down top right. Timeshift appears to have been ruled out* and I assume you don't have a separate /ho...

As long as one doesn't participate in the cryptocurrency program (which is a joke; just look at Brave's user forum), brave is an excellent browser.

I have used that type of ram modules tests before, but I don't fully trust them, they have Marked as good some memory modules that were either dirty on the Gold contacts or damaged/bad, so that's why I don't trust them a...

LMDE5 - Nvidia GPU not working

The way I see it you got 2 options, install LM 20.3 for the time being or Windows 10 or 11, please do not blame Linux, it's not Linux fault is Nvidia's fault.
