Re: 2FA authentication on Linux ?
Does anything other than SMS 2FA actually work in Linux Mint? Did you look at KeePassXC? Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I have installed KeePassXC from the repository and also the KeePassXC browser extension which appears to be essential. Although originally designed for passwords It does also pr...

Long-term support for Linux kernels is to get a lot shorter
The Register reports that long-term support for Linux kernels is about to get a lot shorter. https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/26/ ... port_2023/ . How will this affect Linux Mint and anyone who uses LTS versions?
Re: ChatGPT
I suggest you read this interesting article from The Register which describes one person's alarming experience with ChatGPT:

Re: Can BASH script remove from target files no longer on source?
Thanks for your reply AndyMH. I am not using rsync just a simple BASH script with a matching script to restore to another computer.. As I understand it rsync --delete only works on directories rather than individual files within directories. I am backing-up a few files from various different directo...

I have a simple BASH script I use for regularly backing-up important files from my computer to a USB drive. The problem is that files that have been deleted on the computer remain on the USB drive unless I manually delete them from there. I would like to amend the script to automatically delete file...

That goes to cover costs of official duties only, the royals have their own income streams from businesses and properties which they also have to pay tax on like the rest of us. So it's now at th...

I decided to not do an upgrade now and instead did a fresh install of Mint 21 on a test computer. My two Windows programs are both 32bit and I found that installation of wine32-preloader was necessary before successfully installing the programs with wine. (This is not installed by wine-installer.) M...

Mint 21 and Wine
Mint 21 has a later version of wine than Mint 20.3. Does the upgrade tool handle this successfully? Do 32bit Windows programs continue to work as in Mint 20.3?
