Hi Renato,
Don't overlook the installation guide and user guides:

I also use TimeShift for system snapshots and Back-In-Time for backing up my data. I store the TS snapshots on a separate partition on my internal HDD, but every few days I plug in an external USB drive and run a script which copies the TS snapshots to the external drive, keeping all the hard-link s...

Here is some info on fstab - hope this helps:

I have a triple boot system (LM18.3, LM19.1, and W7). The two Linux Mint systems share a common Data partition where I keep all my personal data, so my home partitions don't need to be very large. The following layout has been working quite well for me: steve@steve-Z97X ~ $ sudo parted -l [sudo] pas...

I really like this book, and it is available as a free pdf download:

The Linux Command Line

First thing I'd try would be the "nomodeset" option. https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_tessa_cinnamon.php Scroll down to the section "Solving freezes during the boot sequence". On my Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, I have to use "nomodeset" at every boot, so I have modified my GRUB configuration to make it permanent...

Re: your question #6 - here's how I use Redshift: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=290451#p1610369 The temperature values listed in the linked thread work well for me, but depending on your room lighting, windows, window placement, monitor, etc. you may need to adjust the those valu...

I think run levels have been deprecated now that we are using systemd and I don't know diddly about systemd. But here are some links that might be helpful: https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-systemd-runlevels-and-service-management-commands https://www.tecmint.com/change-runlevels-targets-in-systemd/...

If you're talking about the grub menu, it's at /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but you shouldn't modify that. If you want to modify, modify /etc/default/grub or one of the files in /etc/grub.d, then execute which will generate a new grub.cfg file.

You probably don't need it, but my inclination would be to leave it alone on the chance that removing it might break something, and it probably doesn't take up that much space anyway.

...outside temp right now (1 PM my time) is 90 degrees farenheit,...humidity here right now is 16%..

Actually, swamp coolers work well in the right climate. I lived in El Paso for a few years when I was a boy in the late 50's and every house had a swamp cooler on the roof. I don't recall being uncomfortable from the heat there. Prior to that, in Oklahoma City, we had no A/C other than fans, and it ...

I use Cinnamon, but I assume the file manager in Mate is similar. In the Cinnamon file manager (Nemo) there is a way to display hidden files which have names beginning with a . (period). So you will need to display these hidden files to see the .thunderbird directory in your home. In Nemo, you click...

It's in the directory /home/<your user name>/.thunderbird. Look for an 8 alpha-numeric character name ending in .default, such as, for example, zsw2x4o8.default. If there is more than one, look in the text file profiles.ini in that same directory to find the active one.

Timeshift - a system image tool. Linux-only? Requires ext4 formatting. Can rapidly fill up the space allocated to it unless default frequency of snapshots is adjusted. Not useful for backing up personal data, it's a system-restore tool TimeShift will also work with btrfs format. I've never tried it...
