Re: [SOLVED]¿How to use whatsapp messenger in linuxmint?
Noticed unable to use Desktop WhatsApp today, which I immediately suspected was due to constant updates to Linux Mint. My SOLUTION was to load web.whatsapp.com in the Firefox address bar.

Re: Folding@home-Team Linux Mint-76140
I installed folding@home today, and after getting everything set up I looked at what effect it was having on my hardware as I have it set the Folding Power slider set to Light (lowest setting).
