The exploit relies on unprivileged eBPF functionality. That is disabled on Linux Mint 21.x at least, which should make it less likely to get exploited. Check with command sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled that it has value 2: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.ht...

Add one step: create a new user account for each new DE you want to try, and only use that user account to log in to that DE. Else what happens: each DE stores its config, cache and local data files in the user's home directory. So if you try them all on your own user account your home directory acc...

Sometime around mid this year probably a beta. You can follow development updates in the monthly news. On the blog or here in the releases & announcements forum.

apt policy flatpak shows that package comes from the Ubuntu Jammy package base: flatpak: Installed: 1.12.7-1 Candidate: 1.12.7-1 Version table: *** 1.12.7-1 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Your link has Jammy as status "Needs tria...

For example 1: install the cinnamon-doc package (apt install cinnamon-doc). You'll find Devhelp in the Programming category in your menu afterwards. In Devhelp you can find the cjs documentation:

Yes. The UEFI, the BIOS, can only read from a FAT32 formatted ESP (EFI System Partition). Hence it's made a separate partition and it needs to be at least 512 MiB (=537 MB).

You don't need to downgrade. That's a bit knee-jerk. Open Edit -> Preferences from GIMP's menu, go to Interface > Toolbox on the left, then clear the "Use tool groups" option there. That's what you're looking for I think. Other 3 preferences I change to make GIMP nicer to work with (for me...

When you change it.

I am looking for Notion. And I couldn't find it. But it is available as a snap package. And, can you explain, if you don't mind, that why is installing snaps is like opening a can of worms? I know it is slow, other than that? The Notion snap seems not official anyway. Maybe you can give https://not...

So, the base repository in Linux mint is Jammy (ubuntu 22.x) right, so if something is installed from that repository using apt, will it trigger snap and then the snap package is installed instead? Since the base repo is Jammy, it's not possible to always stop installation or updating packages from...

Favorite and pinned are file metadata. That's stored in the directory ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata. It may also be stored in the filesystem itself, I'm not sure. Perhaps adding that directory to your home directory backup set is enough to make restoring the backup also add back the metadata. You can...

Bank transfer is only possible with PayPal, sorry. Thank you for wanting to support the Linux Mint developers.

Not sure if the situation is the same. I recently sponsored through this page on behalf of my company: https://linuxmint.com/sponsors_info.php But haven't got any link like what you have mentioned (and company name hasn't shown up on the sponsorship page either) If that was in the past few days all...

So, even if I enable snapd on linux mint, and run apt install firefox, it does not install firefox from snap and also does not replace firefox if it is already installed, right? Yes for apt install firefox ... with a but. apt install -t jammy firefox , apt install firefox/jammy or apt install firef...

And can anyone tell me, if I enable Snap, will it replace all the apt packages on the system instantly or when I run an "sudo apt update" command? How does the replacement work? Ubuntu has "fake" packages in their repository which if you install them actually install snapd and t...

On Ubuntu if you install Firefox, Chromium or Thunderbird (from Ubuntu 24.04) through apt it instead installs snapd and then installs the app you wanted from the proprietary Snap Store. Even if you enable snap I think this doesn't happen on Linux Mint because the apt priority of our Firefox and Chro...
