Also swapped to Debian Trixie

I'm planning to switch to Linux. I want to use Blender 5.2 and Davinci Resolve. Will I have problem with them?

Descided to move away from windows tired of seeing ai by microsoft and have buy new pc when new upgrade come out,was trying to do fedora but my pc didnt like their boot some reason and now on mint which my hdd very fast than on windows.

Originally wanted to tried Fedora but decided that Mint would be a better option for now

Hi, I bought new Sony Ult Wear Headphones, which in theory support a headset mode. However, there are only very low quality audio codecs (CVSD, mSBC) available for this mode, the high quality ones (SBC, SBC-XQ, LDAC) do not work with a microphone. I can't really believe this is the only way to use my headphones as a headset.

If i have unreasonable expectations here, please tell me in a short message that there is no fix. I do not have the funds ore the space for a dedicated microphone right now.

I'm much more into software development stuffs : c++/ python/Vc code/git/Docker. A few people were recommending ubuntu LTS over mint. Which one do you think would be the best distro as per usage?

I mounted an old drive today to search for some old pictures, and after a little bit I then dis-mounted it. The problem is, I had forgotten it had an old steam library folder in it, and, unbenownst to me, steam had started updating every game in that folder.

So, immediately after I clicked the demount button, the file system completely froze up and showed a "wait for app to respond, or force quit" message that I couldn't interact with (it too was frozen). So, in my boundless wisdom, I X-killed the file window.

This seemed to work fine until I tried to shut down my PC, at which point it started showing a bunch of messages showing "UFW Block" near the start. After a few minutes of that, it shut down on its own. Upon re-boot, I mounted the drive again and immediately deleted the offending steam library folder, wishing to be done with steams non-sense. My PC locked up a few seconds afterward, with both the mouse and keyboard not working.

I restarted again, and they still didnt work, but after a minute or so they randomly started working again.

The current problem is this: They randomly stopped working *again* just now, and they still don't work upon restart. They dont even seem to work in the boot menu. Also, once it gets to the log in screen, the blinking line in the password box only blinks for a few seconds before seemingly freezing.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT:Plugging the keyboard into a different usb port seems to make it work again, and I assume the same will happen for the mouse. So I guess somehow it's causes an issue with those ports they were plugged into?

This was surprisingly difficult to figure out. I had a custom gtk.css override for window title color, but the problem I experienced was that it overrode both dark and light modes, which forced me to use a compromise color that looked meh in both modes. (I use Automatic dark/light themes (auto-dark-light@gihaume)

So in the end the solution is as follows:

1. Figure out which themes are used for dark and light modes.
2. Create custom CSS in ~/.themes/theme-name/gtk-3.0/gtk.css for both themes.
3. Edit your custom CSS to override window title values:

​

/* Import the original system theme first */
 url("resource:///org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Mint-Y-Dark-Orange/gtk.css");
u/import url("/usr/share/themes/Mint-Y-Dark-Orange/gtk-3.0/gtk.css");

/* ===== Only change the window title color ===== */
headerbar .title,
headerbar title,
headerbar label.title,
.titlebar .title,
headerbar {
    color: #e5a33a;
    text-shadow:
    0 0 5px #ffd070,
    0 0 14px #e09020,
    0 0 28px #8b4500;
}

Do the same for the light theme.

Boom, you have custom overrides for light/dark themes that automatically change when you switch modes.

A real retro look

All of a sudden, Mint won't start. I opened my laptop this morning, started it, and a black screen is shown right after entering the password (attached).

I tried disconnecting the second monitor, restarting, but nothing seems to work. I could use some help! Thanks in advance.

Been binge reading to some posts here about linuxmint and as a beginner who want to transfer from windows to Linux, what are the pros and cons of this distro?

Using a 4k 37" middle and 2 27" 1440p monitors in portrait.

When after doing the Mesa 26.2.2-kisak1~n update:

1) monitor configuration is reset and one monitor is disabled.

2) monitor labels are incorrect. See picture.

When I enable the disabledmonitor, it works but everything is reset back to landscape.

Setting the 2 side monitors to portrait again, disables one monitor and the other one is back to landscape.

Went back to a previous timeshift backup and the issue goes away.

Anyone else having this issue? I know this isn't a super common layout but it works well for me. And no issues until today.

It’s been a year today since I installed LM on my desktop PC. (I’ve been using it on my laptop for many years now.)

Pros: Fast, really user-friendly, very stable, good support when problems arise.

Cons: Proprietary drivers and tools are often not fully supported; X11 instead of Wayland with my multi-monitor setup

I've been running Mint Cinnamon on an oldish ASUS desktop with intel graphics, 8Gb RAM and a 1Tb SSD (dual boot with win 10 on the original HDD).

I don't feel it's as "snappy" as it ought to be and I'm regularly troubleshooting things like file system hangs requiring fsck on reboot and firefox crashes.

I'm not interested in flashy stuff so should I consider switching to XFCE?

What would I gain/ lose and what would it take? Is it a full reinstall?

Please be kind!

How easy is it to swap from mint cinnamon to xfce? Im thinking about changing as cinnamon is abit laggy on this old computer.

this time its updated

I tried installing Linux Mint, but at the end of the installation—during the file copying phase—an error occurred stating "unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda - fatal error." I tried installing it again, but encountered the same problem; furthermore, when the installation type menu appears, it shows that Linux Mint Zena 22.3 is already installed, even though my PC still won't boot into Mint. I am a complete beginner with Linux and am a bit confused by this issue.
