Update manager flaw

Post by lotech »

Hi there,

I have been using LMDE 2 for years now and I find one problem, is not huge just cosmetic. There is an OK button on the right of the front page to allow switching mirror, which works like a 'click bait' to me for apply settings, it should put elsewhere that not obvious and misleading.

Go into Edit/Preferences in the manager and tick the 'Don't suggest to switch to local mirror' box
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.

It is the idea, that this bar gets displayed prominently. Usually it is an advantage - both for the user and for Mint - to switch to local mirrors, but obviously the local mirror cannot be the same for all users in the world. So it has to be done by the user.
