What do you have in those spare drives!!!

Edit : i'm an idiot i didnt notice we cant post images

Hola que tal, ayer me cambie a linux por primera vez y mi red esta inestable y lenta, al menos cuando hago videoconferencia mediante meet, es muy lento, y aveces deja de funcionar el firefox por la red aunque tengo casi las 5 barritas llenas.
Alguien sabe a que se puede deber esto y como podría solucionarlo? Nunca he usado linux antes asi que estoy familiarizandome un poco pero por ahora estoy bastante a gusto porque va mucho mas rapido, el unico problema es la red :(
Mi laptop es una toshiba satellite con 4gb ram. Por momentos me va exelente la red pero avveces pasa eso.

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.

Do I need to change anything?

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

I asked AI to generate conceptual desktop images for Linux Mint to inspire me in customizing my OS. And these were the results. The first one used Qwen, and the result was strange, kind of saturated. But the second one used OpenAI, and it came out gnomed. lol

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*

The straw was when I tried changing the system font on windows but then I find out that I have to go into the registry editor to do so.

so I swapped lol...

Evening all.

How important is it to verify the ISO image?
I’ve had a go a few times and I’m not quite grasping it. I’m not new to computers but I’ve never done anything like that. I’m gonna use the university of Kent mirror.
Does anybody still do this or not bother.

I am looking for a second hand, very affordable laptop where I can install Mint Cinammon for my son. I am utterly clueless about models, brands, specifications. Any tips on which models I could look for, or on what are the specs I should look for? Any feedback is welcome.

i love mint but the performance is not that good when im playing games is there like apps that fix this or like some system tweaks i played the games on faugus

edit:alot of people said that my specs where bad for not specifying the games i play and rightfully so these specs are ass but like not cant even handle low end indie games level of bad maybe it might be faugus or the version of proton sorry for not specifying :[ i made a similar post on r/linux_gaming and made this post here to make sure its just an issue with mint or something

system specs:

8gb ddr3 ram

AMD A10-9600P RADEON R5 4C+6G

AMD ATI Radeon R5/R6/R7 Graphics (+integrated graphics totaling 1 gb vram)

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 installed GRUB as a flatpakj and it works fine :D

alr this is just a joke there is no GRUB flatpak

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.

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

I am a musician/producer and I am using Linux Mint.
It is working great.

Hey guys,

I use Linux Mint as my main OS and have a bunch of wireless devices on my desk. I got tired of checking battery levels in different places (or realizing my headset was almost dead when I needed it), so I ended up building a Cinnamon desklet for it.

I called it PowerPulse.

It basically sits on the desktop and shows the battery level of my laptop, keyboard, mouse, headset, etc. Right now it gets devices from UPower and I added HeadsetControl support because of my Logitech G933.

You can click on a device to see more details, and there are a few other things like low battery notifications, sorting, light/dark themes and some customization options.

I’ve been using it on my own Mint setup for a while and decided to clean it up and share it in case anyone else finds it useful.

Here’s what it looks like on my desktop:

It’s free and open source, so feel free to try it out:

GitHub: https://github.com/vicman/PowerPulse

If you’re curious about some of the other Linux stuff I’m working on, you can also check out https://vicman.app.

Feedback is very welcome, especially if there’s a device you’d like PowerPulse to support.

Also curious: what wireless devices are you guys using on Mint that are a pain to check the battery level for?

Linux Mint Cinnamon on my 2015 MacBook Air with an upgraded Intel AX210 wifi card. All hardware works out of the box except for the HD FaceTime camera. Since the camera uses PCI instead of a USB device, I found a fix in the Linux Mint forum, which involves running a script that downloads and installs the OEM drivers. https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=445168
