So, generally #linuxMint cinnamon does a great job of staying out of my way. However I am starting to dislike Nemo, the file manager because it does not update the contents of whatever folder is displayed until I manually navigate out of and back into said folder.
Anyone know how to make Nemo actually, accurately show what's in the folder in realtime, or should I try to find a diferent file manager I dislike less?
Mint has a weird bug rn where it doesn't charge when I plug it in, but once I remove the plug, it pretends to charge??
GMs of the fediverse, I need your help! I'm trying to find a piece of software that will enable me to play my own custom music and sound effects online for the players in my TTRPG campaigns.
It needs to be linux-compatible, and let me play my own stuff - not stuff streamed from YouTube or any other site. Does such a thing exist?
Microsoft will officially end support for its most popular operating system - Windows 10 - later this year, on the 14th of October 2025 to be exact, here are 5 options on how to deal with this. For me it already has been "option 3. Ditch Windows completely", in favor of Linux Mint.
Another angle of security: It is time to create a "Euro-Linux" and to make its use mandatory within EU (esp. for government staff and schools). The development should be distributed among EU member states and their best IT departments (at the universities). The developers should be employed full time and Europeans.
#linuxmint could be a good starting point.

I love #linuxmint now. So easy to reconfig #cinnamon to make a nice desktop. Modelled mine on my Mac. Didn’t want an exact copy, but like to find things in a similar place.
Will have to set up #mastodon there so I can share a screenshot.
Finally (finally…) dipping my toes properly into the waters of #Linux*. I’ve gone with #LinuxMint as a beginner distro and so far so good.

*This is not exactly true. I did attempt to use one of the Red Hat products about 25 years ago and, well, let’s just say we weren’t the best of friends…
My mother-in-law brought me her computer to fix. It’s a seventh GEN Intel processor running windows 10. She’s retired and I think just uses it for Netflix so it’s probably gonna get Linux mint.

#linuxmint #linux Good afternoon folks. I have Linux mint now installed, dual boot, on my laptop. Resolved the issue with the mouse crossing to the 2nd screen.
New problem. The laptop is connected to the Dell monitor t. When I switch on the laptop it hangs at the Menu to choose operating system UNLESS it is also connected to the switched on DELL monitor. Switched off monitor/disconnected from the monitor it just hangs.
Suggestions please? The laptop is designated as primary monitor.
Als ich auf meinem Ubuntu PC #Steam installiert hab, hat es mir erzählt, ich muss noch einen 32bit Treiber installieren und mir genau gesagt, welchen. ich musste die Kommandos nur noch in die Kommandourteile copypasten.
Der #LinuxMint PC der Tochter meckert auch, dass Steam nen 32bit Treiber haben will, aber wie der heißt muss ich wohl ne Hellseherin auf'm Jahrmarkt fragen. Oder das Fediverse.
Wie find ich das raus?
This is the story of how a routine update of my Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon box turned into an unplanned upgrade to Mint 22.1. It ended well.

@MKueppers Probier mal #LMDE (#LinuxMint #Debian Edition) oder #EndeavourOS
@MKueppers #Ubuntu ist der Unterbau (so wie auch bei #LinuxMint). #Ubuntu hat einen nicht sonderlich guten Ruf in der #OpenSource Community z.B. https://thelinuxexp.com/Ubuntu-hate/
Mein Tipp für #Linux Anfänger: #LMDE (#LinuxMint #Debian Edition, d.h. #LinuxMint OHNE #Ubuntu)
Und für Semi-Profis mit Ambitionen zum #GamingOnLinux: #EndeavourOS
I try to install Linux Mint from a Usb stick. Now I have this box on the screen. What shall I do from here

Ahead of Microsoft's plans to stop supporting MS-Windows 10 in October, and as I didn't want to install the extra-heavy and not so reliable Zindowz 11, I got rid of it and installed Linux Mint on the multimedia PC that I use on my TV (a small customised Intel NUC).
So far, it's just excellent, very stable, fast, easy to install and with a slick interface. 
What else?! 
Linux rocks!
