Re: Linux Mint (Cinnamon) boot issues
Boot from the Mint USB stick, launch Timeshift and restore a Timeshift snapshot. Note that you'll have to launch the wizard(!) and select Locations in order to be able to select a snapshot on the hard disk.

Re: What if Cinnamon 21.3 is installed on 55.3gb space?
Stay clear of Flatpaks, Snaps and AppImages (remove the entire Flatpak infrastructure). And don't set Timeshift to make automatic snapshots; make just one or two snapshots by hand, and keep it at that. Furthermore, keep the number of installed kernels down to one active and one spare. Then you'll ha...

Re: Laggy system that freezes with frequent audio pops
Why did you choose zfs as filesystem, instead of the default stable and reliable ext4? On Mint and the Ubuntu that it's built on, zfs can be considered as experimental and even more or less abandoned: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/01/ubuntu-zfs-support-status This complication is also making it m...

Re: Problems upgrading Mint
What's the upgrade path you wish? In other words: which Mint version do you have now, and which Mint version do you wish to get?

Re: Error during boot and suspend heavy drain
Your BIOS is lagging a couple of versions behind. Update it and test again.

Re: How to hide files in the trash ?
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...

Re: How to hide files in the trash ?
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...

Re: How to hide files in the trash ?
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...

Re: Selecting which updates to install, metered connection
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...

Re: Two Update Managers in Mint 21.3?
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...

Re: suggestions for increasing readability?
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:

Re: Cannot get the grub menu
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...

Re: Cannot get the grub menu
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...
