Hello wpshooter,

are you looking for a digital photo camera or a webcam?

I noticed the last time that I installed Linux Mint mate 19.3, that there still seems to be some minor bug when adding applications found on the menus to the desktop. On some rare occasions when right clicking on one of the applications on the menu to place icon on the desktop for launching that app...

Are NTFS, exFAT & HPFS one and the same thing ?

The reason I ask is because when I look at the partition description of a hard drive that
I formatted as NTFS, the partition type is listed in Linux / Disk as NTFS/exFAT/HPFS.

Thanks.

I have had problems with constant blinking lights of a brand new external usb harddisc as well, when it was formatted in Ext4 format. However when I formatted the external usb harddisk in Exfat or NTFS there was no blinking lights problem. I now format all my usb sticks and harddisks in Exfat, whic...

I have attempted to rep...
