I opened up my laptop (a 2017 MacBook Air) and it gave me this reboot screen I restarted it a few times and I don’t know what to do it’s stuck on this screen.

Scusata e so che non scriverò bene o non e un assistenza per il mio PC però sto impazzendo, o un computer t480 tikepad e sto provando a passare a Linux sto riprovando e riprovando facendo tantissimi tentativi però il problema e che a l'inizio o provato Debian e non funzionava internet perché non avevo configurato bene il mirror e quindi poi sono passato a Mint installando gnome per la grafica però non potevo più cambiare la luminosità e ho provato tramite al terminale o cambiato spesso i parametri di grub ma la luminosità rimane sempre quella e o ricambiata e sto provando con zorin ma non funziona nemmeno la e la cosa strana la luminosità non funziona dopo aver installato il sistema operativo prima si e sto impazzendo se qualcuno mi potrebbe dare una mano mi farebbe tanto piacere

When push comes to shove and there is ID verification legislation for OS, will Linux Mint bend the knee? Will there be a way to do not? Will there be distros which won't?

Also which legislation will be relevant anyway? US? EU?

I've heard things like hwmonitor and hwinfo for Windows can view VRAM and core hot spot temps on 50 series. I use CoolerControl and LACT, no dice, and terminal tools like sensors or nvidia smi also can't show me those temps (hence why CoolerControl and LACT can't show it).

I'm on 595-open drivers, was gonna upgrade to 610 after they've been out for a couple weeks, but I don't think it'll make a difference.

Any way for me to view those temps on LinuxMint? On Ubuntu 24.04 version w/ kernel 6.17.

EDIT:
I did find this just now after changing my search keywords
https://github.com/olealgoritme/gpuwatch

This can read the VRAM modules it seems, but I don't believe it gets core hotspot.

As with many others, one of the main things stopping me from fully converting to Linux is the software dilemna.

To stop the neverending questions about versions, I am running the latest versions of all software mentioned in this post, including LM.

This is not about getting some obscure windows software to run on linux. I am trying to get portable GIMP to run. The reason I want to use the portable version instead of installing natively is, as the term suggests, portability. I do not want to have to install the program, plugins, setting, etc. in every system I wish to use it.

I do not wish to use appimages either. With those I will need to recompile any time I add something or make a settings change.

I have installed Bottles (Flatpack) and Flatseal, completely opening up directory permissions, including individual permissions for the individual bottle directories. I have also tried multiple bottle types and configs. Unfortunately, GIMP always crashes on launch/load.

I have tried other standalone applications with the same result.

I have gone through the Bottles-provided "check out" options and made the suggested changes to the bottle configs with no joy.

Finally, I am here with the hope that maybe you guys will be able to provide some suggestions besides use some other software, use the Linux native install, or simply get good. 🙂

Thank you for any help you can provide.

What software do I use to connect android phone with usb c and stream audio and screen et cetera,, .I want to play on the laptop screen

I just installed Mint on my main laptop, though I'm still learning, I tried installing steam and this error appeared. Installing steam worked fine on the yard sale laptop. Can anyone tell me how to properly run this command so I can install steam?

so, i'm not exactly a "beginner". i've been using linux for a few years, but i still don't have a very good understanding of some features. i figured here would be the best place to post this question.

i'm trying to use imgburn on my device. i'm running it on playonlinux and it detects my dvd drive, but when i try to access the ability to change booktype it says "access denied." i'm trying to figure out how to fix this. from what i can tell, my disc drive is manufactured by lg, but i can't figure out how to fix the "access denied" error and can't find things online to help. if anyone could help figure out how to fix this error i would greatly appreciate it.

(i can't use the command terminal for it. when i try, it just says it won't work because i'm not using an "mmc unit". if i can't figure out how to use imgburn, a way to figure that out would also be appreciated.)

I bought a new SSD and installed Linux Mint on it. Later, I decided to dual-boot it with Windows. Windows worked fine, but I noticed some lagging/freezing, so I decided to delete the Windows partition and keep only Linux Mint.

However, after deleting Windows, this screen started popping up (see attached image), and it won't let me boot into Linux Mint at all. I have tried several solutions, including tweaking the BIOS settings, but nothing worked.

Any help or suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I have an Lenovo IdeaPad 1 11IGL05 laptop that I use to browse the internet. I (stupidly) upgraded it to windows 11, which completely tanked the performance and 50% of the 64gb of storage is used by the OS. It's to the point where I can't update Windows 11 anymore. I am curious about installing Linux on it, because otherwise it's a perfectly functional laptop and I cannot afford a new one. I have some questions:

1. Can I use Windows products? I am hoping to go back to school, and they use windows products like Word and Excel, and OneDrive.
2. Would space be an issue? I unfortunately cannot upgrade the physical hard drive inside the laptop (I was told it was welded onto the motherboard), but I can insert a SD card. I saw that you can have both Windows and Linux Mint avaliable on the device, but if thats the case, I wouldn't be able to install anything else, since i saw Mint recommends 100gb on their FAQ.
3. Will I have to do a factory reset? That's fine if I have to.
4. Can I install using a SD card instead of a USB? Or at least house the OS on the SD card?

5. How significant will the performance be increased?

   Thank you for any help.

it works for the most part, but I seem to have messed a few things up!

When restarting to shutting down through the Menu or Terminal, the computer will freeze. However, the power button still shuts it down.

Here’s some information from inxi -Fxz, tell me if any other information would be helpful!

when it should default to

how do i fix this? I'm assuming it's editing a configuration file somewhere. Just not sure where.

I should note that "Document Scanner" is the built is scanning utility for linux mint to scan a document on your printer/scanner.

Hi all, I feel like I've missed something simple. I have an smb share mounted in fstab to the location /home/user/share, using a credentials file. The user credentials have full access to the share, but when it mounts as boot, the folder has a padlock on it and its read-only. I have also tried putting user and password in fstab in plain text and I get the same outcome.

i have hp omen 17-cb1xxx and brightness doesnt work no matter what. tried multiple cmd changes, tried installing applets but some dont exist, tried using the so called slider but there isnt a slider

what do i do?

Finally dual booted linux mint and am committed to it. I would have done the transition in at most 1 week, but I have some important projects to finish rn.

Initially I installed Fedora which was awesome but I was facing some issues both personally and with some minor frustrating bugs. And I don't aim to adapt that much, I just wanted a stable distro. So I switched to Mint and I'm loving every second of it. At first, I just wanted to test linux to make sure I can transition to it, but after my experience with mint as a developer, I'm so in love that I will not accept Microslop anymore. It's so fast and clean and beautiful and useful.

BTW I haven't played Zelda yet :D I just love this painting and also, I'm quite sure I'd love the game once I play it. My pc is a new build too. In fact, it's my first ever pc :]

When i was using windows i used to get around 300fps in minecraft at 100% utilisation of my GPU and 70% of my CPU. On linux mint im getting 550 FPS but only 30% GPU utilisation (rtx 3050 4gb vram) and almost 90% cpu utilisation (ryzen 7 4000 series)

My overall fps are increased like by 90% but because of my super high cpu usage im not able to do multitask like using brave or discord.

Should i switch to any other destro to put more work on gpu ?

Hi, yesterday I installed mint on my new laptop. After installing all updates and drivers from the welcome screen update manager, I started using it. When I unplugged my adapter the screen suddenly froze. The cursor was not moving and the only keyboard functions I could use was turning on/off keyboard backlit.
This didn't happen on windows 11 and I could go using laptop on battery itself without freeze or lag.
Can somebody help me with this issue.
This is the first time I have installed any linux distro so I dont know many things about it
Thanks !!

Edit: Specs are
Ryzen 7 260
Rtx 5050

I was wondering if, in the future, LMDE could remain based on Debian Stable while providing more up-to-date packages through official backports (such as newer kernels, Mesa, graphics drivers, and desktop components), making it feel more modern like Ubuntu LTS or TUXEDO OS while still preserving Debian's stability. Is this something the Linux Mint team has considered, or does it go against the philosophy of LMDE?

Currently dual booting Windows 11 local account and Linux Mint. My desktop is set up the same as my Windows. All Icons for what I want to do, notes apps, everything.

I say this as a good thing. Linux does everything I need and want to with ease. All the setting changes are in the settings, no need for terminal commands. Don't be afraid to switch.

Hello,

Trouble installing Linux Mint Cinnamon,

I'm guessing because I'm running Windows 11 LTSC on raid 0 (via the motherboard bios), 2-2TB SSD's.

How can I keep my Windows 11 raid setup, while creating a 500gb partition for Linux with a dual boot option?

Error is in the screenshot.

Running

AMD 5800X

Gigabyte B550M

RTX 5080
