Your BIOS is lagging a couple of versions behind. Update it and test again.

Every drive that you connect has its own trash can. Even things like SD cards and USB thumb drives each have one. This should get rid of the trash can in your home directory , including potentially root-owned stuff in it: sudo rm -v -r ~/.local/share/Trash For recreating it, you need to log out, log...

I understand that I need to do a fresh install of the new mint version but the thing is that I´ve already did a fresh install of 21.2 right after replacing the new hard drive and that´s the thing I just don´t understand. My computer has a new hard drive now, I didn ´t copy the old hard drive to the...

A reliable way of getting rid of these phantom files, is of course the nuclear option: a fresh clean installation of Mint 21.3. But as we're only months away from Mint 22, I recommend to hold out until July or thereabouts (many new Mints were released shortly before Quatorze Juillet), and do the fre...

I think that if your connection is metered, you're probably better off just ditching Flatpak entirely. Exactly. Procedure for that: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/clean-mint.html#ID6 (item 6) Furthermore, you can set Update Manager to only show notifications for security updates. And y...

This progressive scheme for controlling brightness might be of help:

Having two update managers doesn't hurt; it doesn't break anything. But it's confusing. I remember from when I struggled with the dependencies of ttf-mscorefonts-installer, that there were some annoying loops that I had to break loose from. Unfortunately it's rather long ago, so I don't clearly reme...

Hi Teach them to use: Ctrl + Mouse Scroll Wheel to zoom in/out Works in web browser and file managers. Yes, and simply Ctrl + and Ctrl - works as well. Do remember to exclude images from the resizing (because of distortion): First make the Firefox menu bar visible: Firefox panel - right-click on th...

Xfce is a bit more limited than Cinnamon, in this respect. But the increase of font size is the best option, which means that you do have to experiment a bit to find the "right" size.

Cinnamon offers these options:

Probe abbrechen nach ungefähr 10 Minuten (die Probe ist ewigdauernd). Gibt's Fehler?

Much easier to edit /etc/default/grub to show grub menu at every boot for just 2 seconds. Surely you can waste 2 seconds at boot to save a lot of palaver. Good point. Personally, I always set it at 5 seconds. However, it's good to know that there is a way of reliably getting the Grub menu to show j...

They're working on it (Mint gets its kernels straight from Ubuntu): https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-2201 Keep calm and carry on.... Security flaws are discovered (and fixed) on a daily basis. There's always a time gap between discovery and fix. Absolute security does not exist on this earth. Ev...

Look, this is getting a bit silly.... The only way to reliably get the Grub menu to show just once , is what I've described. Your method decidedly does not (and was defined wrongly in the first place). Finally: I'm not going to debate this any further, because I've more productive things to do with ...

Repeatedly tap the escape key during boot to bring up the grub menu for an UEFI boot computer. That won't give you the Grub menu, but a Grub command prompt. It depends on the timing of when you do it whether or not you get the grub menu or the grub prompt. If you do it too late, you will get the gr...

Repeatedly tap the escape key during boot to bring up the grub menu for an UEFI boot computer. That won't give you the Grub menu, but a Grub command prompt. At the Grub prompt, you then need to type the word normal and hit Enter. Then immediately start tapping the Esc key again repeatedly, until th...

Do yourself a favour and just dump that weak old museum piece. It's a waste of time and energy.

Will you refund the Mint developers the advertisement revenue that they miss out on then?
