Given the newness of your hardware, I also recommend this:
Update Manager - panel: View - Linux kernels
Install the latest kernel of the 5.8 series. Then reboot.

Re: Hard drive making periodic clicking noise
It's probably overactive power management in the disk firmware, which is being moderated at the OS level in Windows, but not in Linux.

Re: Xfce4-weather-plugin (No Data)
Try this installer package, straight from the Ubuntu repo's (which is always the best option): http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xfce4-weather-plugin/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.11.0-1_amd64.deb Simply double-click the downloaded package in order to install it, just like you would do with ...

Re: Mint on a Celeron 3865U w/2M Cache, 1.80 GHz, 4 GB RAM
Too bad. If no-one else can help you, you may have to wait for an even newer kernel series (with a newer set of drivers); I expect such a newer kernel series will arrive pretty soon. Probably the 5.10.x.

Re: RANT !!! on Win10
I sympathize. Yesterday, I had to temporarily re-install Windows 10 on a Lenovo laptop, in order to be able to update the BIOS. Took me most of the day.... After downloading plain Windows 10 from Microsoft and creating a bootable USB stick, I discovered that plain Windows 10 didn't recognize the har...

What were some of your favorite Mint releases? Were there any releases that were especially troublesome? Or, have they all been about the same experience for you? I was just curious.

Re: Super green. No sound.
Good to hear that it works!

It's probably driver-related. The drivers are in the Linux kernel, so with very new hardware like yours, you need a kernel from a newer series than the default 5.4 series.

Re: System monitoring
I recommend Conky:
https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/conky.html
Note that all monitoring tools tend to be rather heavy on the system resources, when refreshing with too short an interval. So set the interval to 2 seconds (or 1.5 second at the utmost).

Re: caja and hidden files
Sounds more like a feature than a bug.... Usually, most people don't want their hidden files to be visible by default. So for them it's convenient that their one-time visibility isn't being remembered, unless configured otherwise in the preferences. Personally, I often forget to re-hide them after u...

Re: Monthly News – February 2021
Well, I think limiting Cinnamon's memory usage (automatic restart after reaching the configured max) is a pretty neat workaround.... If it can't be done the way it should, it should be done the way it can. A workaround, but an elegant one. I'll certainly use it myself, and I'll probably recommend it...
