Linux Mint Forums

Here's one from last year: https://www.phoronix.com/review/fedora-38-encryption. Most of the benchmarks show almost no difference in performance with real world use. On modern hardware it shouldn't be noticeable. The CPU does encryption/decryption faster than the data can be written to/read from the...

Same as with Windows: if you don't use disk encryption, your files aren't encrypted and anybody with physical access to the computer can get your files. They do not need to know any password for that. Not on Windows, not on Linux. The Linux Mint installer offers full disk encryption (on the installa...

I've added a placeholder text when you make a new topic in the Hardware Support or Networking forums. In the area where you write the topic text it will now show this until you type something: Make sure to include your Linux Mint system information.

In filesystem metadata. You can run gio info -a metadata /path/to/directory to show the metadata for a directory.

I didn't know that the MATE edition also uses mintlocale https://github.com/linuxmint/mintlocale. That in turn uses iso-flag-png for the icons https://github.com/linuxmint/flags. For the minority languages, like Basque and Catalan, it has this simple code to make them use a different flag: https://g...

These forums are for users-helping-users with Linux Mint problems. It's fine to ask here if you only want to change the flag for yourself. If you want to change it for all Occitan Linux Mint users you'll have to suggest it to the developers of whatever is the "language support screens". If...

Linux Mint 22 uses an older, now unmaintained version of file-roller by default. As answered several times on similar topics, you can try if upgrading your file-roller to the Ubuntu 24.04 version solves the issues:

Er kan op 1 partitie maar 1 OS geïnstalleerd zijn. Zie bovenstaand output van lsblk; LM 22 staat op sda, LM 21.3 dus op sdb.

Je systeemschijf is de 120 GB schijf. De 240 GB schijf zou je opnieuw kunnen partitioneren met het Disks (gnome-disks) programma en dan er een nieuwe, lege ext4 partitie op aanmaken. In Disks de schijf links kiezen en dan rechtsboven de menu knop klikken en kiezen om de schijf te formatteren. Daarna...

No. Brave is not available from the standard repositories. You either installed it from Flathub or added the Brave repository and installed it from there. It's updated by Brave developers in either case.

Email is on the main website (top right corner email icon). Else if you're on Matrix you can try the development channel.

The blog is moderated by the developers. You'll have to contact them if this is a persistent problem. I assume comments with with example certain words, or code or with external links in them could require human approval and there may be times that takes longer. Beyond guesswork, you have to contact...

Very high load on the server is causing timeouts today. It's being monitored.

That's a nice improvement, well done. Most unit load in parallel, not sequential. So the above list of unit times isn't telling the full picture. You can run systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg to get a chart with more detail. It will create a file called "plot.svg" in the current directory wi...

For Linux Mint 19.3 Xplayer was replaced with Celluloid. In short because of the much better performance and (for laptops) battery life. It was detailed in the overview of new features for 19.3 and some more context in an earlier progress report (search for "xplayer" on those pages to find).

Thanks, that explains that line in the inxi output.

Ubuntu 25.04 next year will use a newer kernel, so 6.12 or even newer. That will again come to Linux Mint 22 after they make that kernel also available on Ubuntu 24.04. So it's coming eventually.

It seems long for a system with a decently fast 12 core CPU, 16 GB RAM and SSD storage. I agree with MiZoG, something else must be the matter. You might try if disconnecting all non-essential peripherals, like camera, make a difference for boot speed. Sometimes the problem is initializing such takes...
