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...

We did eMail the contact we had on file November 21st 2023 at 3:03pm ET but never got a response. The online form for Sponsors allowed us to update some aspects of sponsorship but not all resulting in the branding mismatch. Hi, apologies you didn't get a reply on the email before today. We've updat...

So yes, physical installed memory is 16 GiB. But as free -m shows only 15798 MiB (15.43 GiB) is available to the OS. Translate from MiB to GB makes it 16.5654 GB so that's most likely the same thing System Monitor is showing — how much memory total is available to the OS.

With different levels of verbosity, the commands: sudo lshw -C memory sudo dmidecode -t memory should show the same the same installed RAM size as the BIOS shows. RAM sizes are a multiple of 1024, not a multiple of 1000. So 16 GiB of RAM is not 16000000000 bytes but 17179869184 bytes, or about 17.18...

Users can install KDE but I get your point; there no longer is a KDE edition while there was when that was written. I've updated it. Thanks!

The Edge ISO is Cinnamon only. From Linux Mint 22, due mid this year, there will no longer be a Edge ISO as with each new Linux Mint release each edition will get a new kernel. That doesn't help you now of course, but FYI. What you could do now is install from the Edge ISO and then install the packa...

het systeem eigenzinnig de toetsenbordindeling telkens op Qwerty (USA) zet. Ik sluit af met toetsenbordindeling Belgian en als ik de machine terug opstart staat hij terug op Engels (USA). Ik zou daar een nieuw topic voor starten. Dat moet oplosbaar zijn hoop ik. Vermeld dan ook of je Cinnamon, MATE...
