LMDE Advanced Hardware Support

Post by gnuser_deb »

Greetings,
Enjoying LMDE so far and i read some posts about "LMDE main focus" or "rolling". I started using LMDE with debbie but i read it was a rolling distribution before then developers noticed it takes hard work for keeping stability. My question is Mint Team can provide some specific packages beside updated cinnamon ? packages are like linux kernel mesa and amd-intel firmwares. Packages are like for users who have newer hardwares. There is only one distro which tries to do that as i see right now but i think Mint could take this experience one step further.
Thanks

Hello, currently only Mint 20.1 Edge and MX provides the advanced hardware support.

In my case, for full compatibility of my hardware on LMDE4, I had to install the latest stable kernel in date and the latest firmware.

While waiting for an Debbie Edge version it's always better than nothing.

Thank you that could be useful for amd ryzen 3000 users like me. But my graphics card based on RX 5000 series, in this case can we get the latest mesa in LMDE 4 ?

The only option you've got here is to... follow what the person before you said.
Anyways, most users then want the easy part and that's going the Ubuntu based Linux Mint and perhaps even take the Edge edition of it like suggested.

I understand you are correct thanks chalarm. I guess that proves LMDE has more potential users than now and LMDE user base expects easy newer cpu and gpu(latest packages for hardwares) packages then probably it would be on par with ubuntu based mint distribution which is a big step for LMDE the debian based distribution also that would be a significant support for Mint team's "alternative" opinion for being debian based instead of ubuntu based.

Open the terminal

Code: Select all

    curl 'https://liquorix.net/add-liquorix-repo.sh' | sudo bash   

Code: Select all

    sudo apt-get install linux-image-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-liquorix-amd64  
Reboot the machine, then sudo update && sudo upgrade.

See whattcha got. Every time you do a regular uptdate it will auto update the work liquorix has done too (not too often)

Not bad the idea of the liquorix kernel.

Next time explain how this can be beneficial, a story that laymen can judge whether or not it is useful for their needs.

Liquorix installs 2 packages in addition to the linux-image (libelf-dev - zlib1g-dev), these 2 packages corrupted the installation of wine following the activation of the i386 repositories, with the impossibility of repairing the broken packages, hence the interest in taking a snapshot before such an installation.
