Please...sincerely..tell me that is a joke. Or that " snapping" doesn't meant Window snapping....as in win logo button + arrow keys to move and snap windows to any of the sides and corners of the screen just like in Windows 10. That is one of the main thing I most often use...daily in LM Cinnamon and why I chose and continue always sticking with it and coming back to it from trying other distros.Snapping has been silently removed, one of the regressions in LM 21 Cinnamon

There was two modes - tiling and snapping. If you mean tiling - it is still available. What was removed is snapping - if you have, for example, two maximized windows, and snap one of them (move to side with ctrl button holded), the other window will automatically be snapped on other side (both windows will take half screen). If you resize snapped window, the other window size will be automatically adjusted and so on. It's really useful feature and probably quite unique in regular, non-tiling Linux window managers. For me personally it is reason to skip Mint 21, but I really hope it will be re-implementent in one of next point releases... (maybe dev team just doesn't have enough time to add it in new Muffin version).motoryzen wrote: ⤴Wed Aug 03, 2022 10:24 pmPlease...sincerely..tell me that is a joke.

What about using the Super Key (formerly known as the Windows key) and the arrow keys to move windows to one side or the other or up and down?apawelec wrote: ⤴Thu Aug 04, 2022 4:47 amThere was two modes - tiling and snapping.

Of course you can do it that way, but whole idea of snapping is doing this automatically for you. And if resize one of these windows, the other will stay intact. I realize that this isn't absolutely must-have feature for most users, I'm just saying about my personal preferences.Lady Fitzgerald wrote: ⤴Thu Aug 04, 2022 5:18 amWhat about using the Super Key (formerly known as the Windows key) and the arrow keys to move windows to one side or the other or up and down?apawelec wrote: ⤴Thu Aug 04, 2022 4:47 amThere was two modes - tiling and snapping.

I'm enough of a non-GUI person that I frankly still have no idea what this is about but I saw a YouTube review someone linked here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnEo_rkamqQ, and I take it then you are not talking about the annoying window flipping stuff at 3:00? Is it only a then supposed keyboard vs mouse method? Or...?motoryzen wrote: ⤴Wed Aug 03, 2022 10:24 pmPlease...sincerely..tell me that is a joke.

The update tool is always available later than the release--weeks later not days later. It has been less than a week since LM21 was released.
I wonder, can Linux Mint be updated the way Debian is usually updated (by replacing the 20.3 repositories with 21 repositories), without using the Mint update tool?SMG wrote: ⤴Thu Aug 04, 2022 2:05 pmThe update tool is always available later than the release--weeks later not days later.

When the tool is available, the information will be posted on the Linux Mint blog. Asking about it here will not make that release happen any faster. This is a user forum where users help other users.
The Linux Mint developers would know the best way to properly update Linux Mint and they have never recommended doing what you suggested doing.Chrysolite Azalea wrote: ⤴Fri Aug 05, 2022 2:35 amI wonder, can Linux Mint be updated the way Debian is usually updated (by replacing the 20.3 repositories with 21 repositories), without using the Mint update tool?
