I can change the date format on the panel, and on the popup tab. But not on the calendar itself. It's a small thing, but as a non-American it's also a bit maddening. Like water torture.

Changing the locale makes no difference. Am I overlooking something obvious?

I'm dual-booting Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.3 with Windows 11 Pro. It's easy enough for me to change things up, so I wonder if making the change from EXT4 to Btrfs is worth the effort.

If anybody is using the Btrfs file system with their Linux, how are things going?

Just installed Linux Mint yesterday. Some of my apps have gotten stuck on minimize mode, including Discord. What can I do to fix this issue?

Wrote a small work around in order to get my Broadcom WiFi to not automatically delete itself every update

Es una broma, acabo de pasarme a linux...

Bueno el día de hoy oficialmente acabo de pasarme a linuxmint, se siente irreal, se siente demasiado suave, perdon por esta comparación pero se siente como el trasero de un bebé.

Estaba cansado de lo incomodo de Windows, que te pide pagar por todo, es demasiado lento y etc.

Asi que hoy mismo me instale linuxmint xcfe, he ido familiarizandome un poco y no es nada dificil.

Pero quería saber, hay algo que deba descargar? Algun programa o hacer algun ajuste para mantener optimizado mi sistema y el rendimiento?

Leí por ahí de blachbit o algo asi que es como un limpiador. Pero no se exactamente que casillas marcar o si se puede programar la limpieza automaticamente.

Estoy entrando a este mundo del linux asi que me ayudarian un monton si me pasan algunos consejos, tips que debo tomar en cuenta y que no tocar para no arruinar todo.

Mi pc tiene 4 gb de ram y es antigua.

Por cierto trate de descargar wine desde la tienda pero parece que no va, no se que hacer. Es para jugar al counter strike 1.6 jaja.

Hello, I have been using Linux Mint for over a year now and I am extremely happy with it. However, I have a small problem with freezes, especially when I have several heavy sites open and use them at the same time. I have changed several browsers in an attempt to solve this, but I have not been able to. I am currently using Chrome and Mozilla, I am testing and daving, but the result is the same. I have tried all kinds of browser and graphics card settings and all kinds of commands/combinations for power. The picture shows the parameters of my desktop computer. My card is very old and I think these freezes are due to it.

Can you tell me how to fix this, or should I just continue with this compromise until I buy a new card?

Also, would xface solve the problem?

Any advice is infinitely valuable.

Thanks!

I wanted to let everyone here know what a wonderful group of people Linux users are. I've had windows products since 1991 and last year I transited over to Linux mint and, while I've had some struggles, I've NEVER had the problems for longer than a few hours. Y'all are so generous with your suggestions and help I feel very supported. Thank you again. :)

So after closing down the screen of my Laptop (not doing a reboot or a shutdown) and then reopen it the screen stayes balck and dont work yet the mashine is working and the keyboard lighting green. I will need to do a force shutdown for it to work agian anyfixes? pls

When trying to start windows says device ran into problem, resets, same screen, resets, same screen, restart, sa- ok u get it. When using usb stick with a previously checked working Linux mint iso and trying to install, after setting my region there’s an error message saying “input/output error during write on /dev/sda” tried to retry, install started, error “failed to create a file system” “the efi file system creation in partition #2 of scsi2 (0,0,0)(sda) failed.” Pressed ok, the loading bar in install window disappeared, cannot close it, I’m new young and stupid please help

I want the most performance I can get on my PC with 3060 ti 48gb ram and i5 9600kf.

Should I really change or not worth it?

from windows*

After my successful test with the Forbidden HP, I installed Cinnamon on my 7290. It’s taking some time getting my head around the terminal, but I love the flexibility in the OS. I really don’t think Windows has a place for me at the moment, but time will tell whether everything I need is supported on the platform.

I got a warning that I had 0 space left in /, but that's not what 'df -h /' says. Edited: Correction, lsblk says 29G, du -ch / says 23G.

I have a 32” ultrawide and a 24” secondary monitor. I can’t get the system to recognize the 32” unltrawide as monitor 1. Which is causing my games to load onto the 24”. I have set it as the primary.The only way I can get it to recognize it as monitor 1 is to move it, in the layout box, to the right of monitor 2 which means I have to pan to the left of my main monitor to get the cursor on the monitor to the right. I have had to unplug my secondary monitor, load a game then replug it in, and that’s just not a long term solution for me.

Can someone help me out here? Thanks!

I'm gonna be honest, the Mint Notificationcenter and the settings regarding it could be better.
does anyone have a good alternative they can recomend?

So i did a stupid thing which i dont even know why i did while decreasing my partition so i could put some gigabytes on a separate smaller windows partition I did the stupid thing and x’ed out of gparted while it said something like ‘moving partition x to the left and copying x amount of gigabyte’ I don’t really remember what it said but it was something along those lines. Now I’m guessing it’s over so I just wanted to know if there is anything I can still do or should do at this point.

I don’t know how to add a photo in here so I’ll just send it in the comments if that works

Edit: this might seem dumb but I can’t upload a photo on here nor the comments and if I just don’t don’t know how please someone tell me on how to add on using your phone

bcz of some issues like my eyes(this is why I need the fractional scaling) for example, I switched from Mint to Kubuntu. I'd like to ask(if it's possible to know) what will we have in the 23 version, which should come in the December? Just I love Mint for using everyday things, but unfortunately it's uncomfortable to use for me now

Since I started dual booting Linux, I've rarely went back to windows, might give it all to Mint atp, smashed together some youtube tutorials and ended up with whatever is this. Should i erase Windows 11? I really only used fortnite and i can install it on xbox

Actualmente solo puedo usar el equipo y no tener kernel panic si inicio con el kernel 6.14.0-37-generic

si alguno me puede ayudar genial.

gracias,

Saludos

I did a fresh install of Linux Mint. My master volume remains permanently stuck at 46%. Whenever I try to set it a different volume, it will briefly be at the selected level and then immediately revert back to 46%. It does this no matter what method I use to change the volume, whether it be through the actual volume bar itself or through a command.

Any idea what might be going on?

Hello dear mint Community,

I am a new mint user and have problems setting it up. After a clean install of mint 22.3 cinnamon I was asked to update various packages. In the end an error popped up stating that different packages could not be installed. Then I was asked to reboot. While rebooting the screen went purple and showed "Kernel Panic".

What I did: Create a new bootstick, check it via the checksum and freshly install mint. Same errors occured. Did that 3 times.

Thanks in advance for your help. Please tell me what information would be helpfull.

I did not include the error code since reddit doesn´t let me something that long :/

EDIT: I am running it on a Macbook Pro Intel
