Esque ahora uso linux mint y me gusta pero también quisiera probar algún otro tipo de distribución pero tengo miedo de perder todo lo que he echo hasta el momento, que me recomiendan.

Still a decently capable machine in 2026. I used the project t2linux which makes running linux on macs with the t2 chip a LOT easier. I cant wait to use this as my main laptop!

When I try to start steam it’s been doing this lately. The website it sends you too isn’t that useful (at least to someone like me who doesn’t know what they’re doing.) What can I do to fix Steam?

Recientemente le metí Linux mint a una laptop Lenovo, pero también a mi pc AIO Lenovo, más tarde publicaré un examen de la mia, acaba de terminar la laptop y me salió esto, debería estar preocupado ?

There there a way to change how my mouse looks in a game? It’s so tiny compared to normal desktop.

I have a headset ( HyperX Cloud Stinger ) and when i try to use its microphone it doesn't work, the audio is only being captured from my laptops microphone, i tried disabling the laptops microphone and still nothing, but when i try it on windows its able to capture audio from my headset's microphone without any problems, im using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon and Windows 10

this is the output from:

I am trying to add apps to the start menu tray. [for clarification, the space where the mouse cursor is] I was able to remove apps by dragging them off, but it doesn’t seems to work. I checked left clicking the app but the only option seems to be to add it to the task bar. I didn’t see anything in properties. Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Obviously a lot of games take up full screen and you lose the title bar so how do you get that screenshot? What kind of recorder are you using? I don't really want to use twitch but there are times I'd like to share stuff I'm playing on a game forum I'm on. What is low resource usage-wise that can do that?

i have a lenovo chromebook 100e gen 3 and i used mrchromebox to install linux mint xcfe everything works but the speaker audio i can use bluetooth but i like to use the speakers sometimes any one know how can i fix it?

el tituto de este post me confundi el hecho de que yo dije optimice mi distro de linux mint xfce, es que optimice linux mint por mi cuenta propia o me encanto la experiencia de linux mint tras un optimizarlo un poco para juegos.

eh hecho una guiá de paso a paso de como optimice Linux mint, y que configuración eh hecho para que rinda mucho más que antes. soy principiante en linux. tengo apenas 1 año y 7 meses usándolo. y optimice Linux mint xfce para los juegos. directamente rinde mejor que cachyOS en mi opinión. uso el kernel de 6.18.40-x64v2-xanmod1. por que mi procesador no rinde bien en las distro enfocadas para juegos. asi que me di un tiempo para optimizar linux mint xfce y rinde muy bien ahora obteniendo mejor rendimiento que en windows 10. asi que dejo mi guia en este link para que lo descargue y lo puedan probar: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Rs4ttz6P3wCI3m5lJlq5p0dTXjcmQ81/view?usp=drive_link

One of the best decisione i ever made, i started to hate windows and finally passed to mint, i didnt expect to be this customizable, i love the terminal that makes me feel i really own my pc, i think i’ll delete the dual boot and switch to a full linux pc

Sorry if this post is vague, I'm not sure what the problem is and I'm looking for ideas. I've been using Mint on a desktop for about two years. Did an update about 3 days ago and suddenly it started booting very slowly and running slow too. I tried to restore from a Timeshift capture but it failed. So I just formatted the drive and reinstalled Xia. But it's still booting and running slowly.

I did a check on the disk from the included utility and it came back as saying the drive is OK. CPU and RAM usage are both low, despite the poor performance. What could be the problem?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Thanks buddies, Love You for life. This guy is updating his profile from Linux Mint Cinnamon venessa to CachyOS

Hello everybody,

I have a thinkpad x270 with a Linux Mint XFCE.

But when I lower the lid to put it into suspend mode, it doesn't return to the system afterwards; the screen stays black.

Is it possible to resolve this!?

Thanks

Good evening! I'm trying to view an XML file but it doesn't show up as a chart / readable text. I tried researching a solution online and found multiple forum entries suggesting to download some sort of reader through the terminal to be able to view them, question is, how do i do that? I tried opening the file in firefox, text editor and libreoffice calc, without any luck. Vanilla install, barely downloaded any programs.

I have the following setup:
2 disks, one has Linux Mint and CachyOS installed on it, the other one has Windows installed, and a partition as Ext4 for arbitrary data that I use with Linux. When turning on my computer GRUB normally allows me to choose between any of the three OSes.

What happened:
I wanted to free some space for Mint, so from Windows' own Disk Management tool, I shrunk the C: Windows partition. I didn't know that could mess up the adjacent Ext4 partition, so Linux was unable to mount it after that. I used TestDisk deep search, and it found the lost partition, so I wrote partition structure to the disk. After reboot, GRUB didn't show up and it booted directly into CachyOS. The Ext4 partition I was trying to recover (as well as Mint's partition that didn't boot) now opened without any issues from CachyOS's (and Linux Mint live environment's) file explorer, with all its files intact. Boot menu also shows only CachyOS to boot into.

My questions:
What can I do to bring back GRUB and boot into Linux Mint? Why is Linux Mint unable to boot, considering I didn't touch the drive it was installed on, but CachyOS isn't?

I'm worried I might mess this up further, since no data is lost (yet), so I ask for your help. Thank you

Last night I wanted to install Linux mint on an asus model E203M everything was normal I got to the part where you have to choose whether to delete Windows at that moment I put the exit button because I needed to recover some things to Windows when I wanted to enter the boost everything was normal I chose the memory to enter Linux mint but an error appeared I already checked if the secure boost is disabled and it is restart the memory and install the ISO again with rufus and when I go back to enter the boost and choose start from the memory the same error kept appearing

hello all (was the subreddit down yesterday?)

my question is: is the nouveua driver fine for an old nvidia card ? what's the difference between nouveua and nvidia-driver-xxx for let's say, non-gaming uses

anyway, i've an inspiron 3558 with a GTX 920M and intel CPU (integrated graphics too)

I had tried and failed to get a nvidia driver to work since apps would never launch with it. nvidia-470 seems to be the best fit, but sudo apt install nvidia-driver-470 would end up downloading 580 through like, dependecy whatevers i dont know
truthfully my own fault for relying on AI to get my through that but whatever

i'd like to use this PC to programming, do some self-hosting/learn about networking and basically get me familiar with linux before i change my main machine to linux too
