LMDE 4 is indeed a semi-rolling release: you get new releases of Linux Mint developed software such as Cinnamon, Mint tools and X apps as regular updates through Update Manager and you get new releases of programs installed as Flatpaks automatically, but for packages installed from the Debian packa...

How long will LMDE4 be supported?

Will it take advantage of the Debian LTS take advantage of Debian LTS and provide LMDE4 with 5 years of support?

I have Linuxmint 19.3 installed running kernel 5.4.0-48-generic I want to recompile the kernel to set CONFIG_HZ at 400 How to do it? Also how to use the file /boot/config-5.4.0-48-generic as the config file? Should this file be used or a new one generated? I actually want to only set the CONFIG_HZ o...

I have Linuxmint 19.3 installed running kernel 5.4.0-48-generic When I check the file /boot/config-5.4.0-48-generic CONFIG_HZ_250=y # CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set # CONFIG_HZ_1000 is not set CONFIG_HZ=250 clearly the kernel is configured with CONFIG_HZ set at 250 But when I check the output of this comm...

Which desktop? In Xfce you can install xfce4-cpufreq-plugin in the panel for that also in Mate there's CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor or you can install specifics tools for that in repository as cpufrequtils (look at this by example) and out there. :roll: Try cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq...

Installed Linux mint 19.3 but am unable to see which CPU scheduler it is using as the does not have cpufreq. sudo cat /sys/block/<DEVICE>/queue/scheduler Presumably <DEVICE> for you is sda . To change it, you need to set up some complex udev rules. I was looking for CPU Scheduler not the IO Schedul...

I have a machine with Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500 processor.

Installed Linux mint 19.3 but am unable to see which CPU scheduler it is using as the does not have cpufreq. So I am unable to change it also.

Does intel processor use another driver for it?

I am running Linuxmint 19.3 with Kernel 5.3 and AMD A4-9125 processor. By chance I happened to come across schedutil cpu schedular and decided to use it. I must say I am pretty impressed by it. I think its the best in performance and battery life and I do recommend it to be used in place of ondemand...

I do know the reason for LMDE existence.

The suggestion was purely from a point that since its based on Debian, the number would clearly indicate the Debian version its based on at the outset.

Just purely for claritys sake.

Should LMDE version numbering follow Debian starting with LMDE 4? At least the Major number?
Suggest LMDE 4 should actually be LMDE 10.

Also sugggest LMDE 10 could be both Mate and Cinnamon.

True ... But 4.19 Kernel is the attraction along with updated softwares from Stable.

Want to be TRUE to LTS STABLE theory in practice.

I am looking for LMDE with Mate and Debian 10.2 Guess will have to wait ... Yes can do partial upgrade etc. but will prefer to wait ... The reason is that it will be a 5 year LTS as the underlying Debian 10.2 buster will be supported for 5 years and so will want to load it onto one of my daily use m...

So then what is LMDE3 based on currently???


Wouldnt it be nice that LMDE based on Buster comes in?

Especially since Buster will now be supported for 5 years as per this press release ..

https://www.debian.org/News/2019/20190706

When will LMDE release version based on Debian Buster 10.2 which is latest debian release?

Is LMDE 3 Cindy updated to Debian 9.8?

Does LMDE 3 have Cinamon or Mate by default?

In either case just wanted to know reason for the choice.

What is the HZ setting for Linux Mint kernel? Is it Tickless or Idle TIckless? Is it voluntary or full tickless kernel?

You would have to install it yourself, and it would likely break your system. Perhaps the best alternative is to look at a distribution geared to old hardware, Antix or MX Linux, for example.

Well mxlinux has 4.19 and ditto antix ...

Is it possible to install kernel 3.16 on the Mint 19.1


I have older hardware for which drivers orsource for drivers are available for 3.16 kernels or in gemeral < 4.0 kernels.
