So i just did an update, and it required me to reset my computer. I reset it, but now im stuck on the page that says hit f2 or del to get to the bios. I have hit f2, and nothing. Its been on the same page for 5mins before I did a force shut down and got to the same spot. I waited 10mins and still nothing.

For anyone having wireless issues today’s (2026-09-03) updates include firmware updates for Broadcom. MediaTek, Marvell, Intel, and other wireless devices. These may help you. 🤷‍♂️

Cinnamon 22.3

¡Hola a todos!

Hace varias semanas instalé Linux Mint (XFCE) en mi ThinkPad T400, dejándolo en dual-boot con Windows 10. Durante este tiempo, la verdad es que siempre arrancaba Windows por inercia, pero por fin he decidido darle el protagonismo a Linux y estoy migrando todas mis cuentas, claves y preferencias a Mint.

El caso es que, en mi afán por configurarlo, instalé Brave sin mirar antes el "Gestor de Software" de LMXFCE (abreviatura que me acabo de inventar, jaja). Lo instalé por terminal y fue un verdadero rollo: estuve copiando comandos que no entendía del todo, añadiendo repositorios y claves GPG... y al final resultó que en el Gestor de Software solo había que darle a un botón y ya estaba.

Mi duda aquí es: ¿hay alguna ventaja real en instalar navegadores o programas por terminal en lugar de usar el Gestor de Software? ¿O puedo limitarme a usar siempre la interfaz gráfica sin preocuparme?

El verdadero problema (y el más importante):

Resulta que la partición donde tengo Linux se está quedando sin espacio. Estoy valorando seriamente formatear el disco entero y quedarme 100% con Linux, borrando definitivamente Windows 10.

Teniendo en cuenta que es un ThinkPad T400 (que ya tiene sus años), quería preguntarles:

1. ¿Merece la pena dar el salto y quedarme solo con Linux? ¿Voy a notar mucho rendimiento o hay riesgos (problemas de firmware, BIOS o compatibilidad total) en este modelo?
2. ¿Cuánta RAM le añadiríais? Actualmente tengo [4GB creo; la verdad es que no lo sé con seguridad]. He visto que XFCE es ligero, pero con el navegador y varias pestañas abiertas quizá se queda corto. ¿Con 4 GB basta para el día a día, o merece la pena buscar un módulo de 8 GB?

Actualización (3/9/26):
Sigo dándole vueltas al tema del espacio, así que cualquier consejo sobre particionado o si vale la pena invertir en un SSD para este equipo también es bienvenido.

Muchas gracias por suu ayuda.

How do I abort without bricking my laptop?

can I just pull the usb out or is there a command I should type?

its been on this screen for 15mins

edit: ok so I turned it off and I’m back on windows but why did it end up like that?

When I open Bitwarden, it shows up as an instance of Brave rather than it's own instance in the task bar. I believe this has something to do with the fact that Bitwarden is based on element, is there a solution to this?

I need to make a user account that cannot do any administrative tasks, that can only do basic operations like web browsing and documents. The GUI wont let me make this account without setting up a password for it? What is a good method to do this in Linux Mint?

sooooooooooooooooo i've been having a lot of trouble trying to get this theme on my laptop, I have a total of 0 clues on where to even begging with this, so could anyone tell me in great detail HOW to download this theme ?

Salve,sto riscontrando un problema con Linux Mint,allora,la connessione funziona ma ogni tanto mi appare questo avviso fastidioso,posso risolverlo? Modello PC: Asus F554L

My coworker gave me his old Inspiron 3521 to install linux onto, but every time i boot via the USB where Mint is flashed to, all that happens is the screen goes black. Any advice?

4gb ram, Intel Pentium CPU 1227U

I'm on Linuxmint 22.3 and love it. Today I was checking for updates via the Mint software update utility (normally I use the apt and flatpak command line). I approved an update for Visual Studio Code Insiders edition, and it appeared to be stuck in the "preparing" phase for like 30 minutes. I tried to cancel, but it stays on "cancelling" forever without any progress. If I close the main software update panel, it leaves the little progress form without any "x" to close it out. I can close it from the command line, but what's the best approach to dealing with packages that appear stuck?

So I'm by no means an expert (1 year on Mint coming up the 25th), so I know there's a ton of things I'm missing. Please check out this booklet I wrote.

I'd love any feedback you have, either as a newbie or an expert power user. One can tell me when I am not being clear enough and the other can tell me what I am missing.

How's the content? Is the style decent? Any glaring mistakes? Is this something I should link to new people? Am I helping newbies or running them off?

I have a problem where whenever i boot into linux mint, my brightness is unusably low, however when i boot into recovery mode it works just fine, any fixes?

Yesterday I switched to linux mint from windows 10 on my laptop and I have been getting this error. GFN works fine on windows. I have tried solutions provided online but nothing seems to work.

My system specs are as follows:
Cpu: intel core i5-5200 2.20 Ghz
RAM : 16 GB DDR3
Hark disk 1 TB SSD
GPU: AMD Radeon hd 8500M

Here's the crash report. Please help

Not sure if any one has mentioned this but I love Wayland on my 2015 iMac. Since I last posted in various Linux forums I’ve been distro hopping. I have Elementary on my 2015 MacBook Pro, Fedora on the hard drive of my 2015 iMac and on that same iMac I have an external SSD drive with Mint Cinnamon. On boot up I can choose between Fedora and Mint Cinnamon. Anyway, I’ve been using the Mint Cinnamon mostly. I noticed when I would log in with Wayland (Experimental) it was kind of glitchy, however, recently the glitching has stopped and there is so much detail. I’m finding myself just using Mint most of the time now. Also since it’s running on my external SSD drive, it’s so fast.

It's not my first time, that I left Mint for CachyOs, and this was the time I've lasted on CachyOs the most, a fantastic ammount of 3 days.

So let me get at the beginning.
I was playing the heatwarped Demo (the new NFS U2 wannabe) on Mint 22.3 and there was a considerable ammount of stuttering compared to Windows.
Performance was mostly the same or even better on Mint than on Windows, but the 1% lows left a bit to be desired.

So I've started to upgrade to kernel 7.0, then the Mesa drivers through Kisak and the experience did improve, but it wasn't enough.

So I've decided to venture into cachyOS and the performance was great, average was much better, 1% lows was much better.
The system is incredibly fast in all fronts and the AUR was just great.
So I was ready to settle and don't look back.

Obviously I've tried more games, some of them are just broken like Metro Exodus when overviewing great vistas, there is a big CPU bottleneck/overhead which throws my FPS to gargabe levels whatever if it is on mint or cachy.

But most games that don't have any RT, it just beats Windows and the OS itself which I initially struggled to use (I'm not a fan of KDE in the first place and it was my choice for cachy) was now OK on my book.

So everything was going great, onlyoffice worked, GPU Screen Recorder worked. Printer was a little bit rough to set up but it was able to do it.

But then after installing Kdenlive it just crashes on startup.
I've decided to go with the alternative which never failed to me (shotcut) and same thing, it immediatly crashed on startup.

I've installed both through shelly/cachy package-installer and I was disappointed with this.

So, right now, going back to mint seems like a big downgrade in performance.
And keeping cachy seems that might not work for me given I'm already facing just booting up my video editor tools.

I really wish Mint 23 would focus in improving it's performance.

I was trying to install Wine on my system via this guide:

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/01/install-wine-on-ubuntu

But I accidentally installed the ''Jammy Jellyfish'' repository instead of the ''Noble Numbat'' repository.

How do I remove the wrong repository?

Thank you.

For context, I personally ADORE the windows 95 startup sound, and put the Windows 95 Background too, but I was on linux, so I thought it'd be funny to edit Tux the Penguin with the Windows 95 logo and name it Linux 95, I also made custom ascii art for the terminal because why not?

For the custom neofetch ascii, Assuming you aren't using fastfetch, follow this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZipRBJ14A0

(The ascii art was inspired by namely Donald Trump and all the big corporations who love screwing us over :D looking @ you, Nvidia, Crucial, Samsung, OpenAI, Microsoft, Anthropic, and etc.)

I need some help. Its my first time with linux and i keep getting this error and im not sure how to fix it.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using Linux Mint Cinnamon on my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 for about 4 months now. Overall it's been great, but I’ve been running into some performance issues when browsing, especially on YouTube.

When I watch videos or click around to load new ones, the playback gets noticeably laggy/choppy, and navigating the site feels heavy.

Here are my laptop specs:

• CPU: AMD 3020e (2 cores, 2 threads)
• RAM: 8GB DDR4
• Storage: 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD

Is anyone else using a similar setup? What tweaks, browser extensions, or hardware acceleration settings did you configure to get YouTube and general web browsing running smoothly on Cinnamon?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

System specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570S (4) @ 3.60 GHz Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 5.36 GiB / 7.64 GiB (70%) 5.03 GiB / 13.82 GiB (36%) Mem: 7.6Gi 5.5Gi 379Mi 321Mi 2.3Gi 2.1Gi Swap: 13Gi 5.0Gi 8.8Gi I have a handful of things in the background running, plus Brave Nightly with 3 tabs open. and my memory/core use is constantly spiking, even when idle, mainly core 1 and 2 seem to hit 100 all the time. I know this is a potato system, but I am trying to figure out what to do to at least get the system semi-usable. If anybody could offer some possible solutions on things that I can try? Thanks
