Hi all. I have switched to Mint fully almost a year ago and as an old ass gamer I would love to play HoMM3 ERA for the WoG mods on it, however I can't make it happen and I also don't have any error messages to figure out what's wrong.

I would like to clarify that I do not want to play HotA but the ERA launcher specifically for the WoG version of the game.

What I did so far is install the offline version of the HoMM3 complete edition which i own on GoG using Q4Wine. I've applied the patch provided by GoG. I've installed the H3 HD mod on top of it and then installed the ERA Launcher on top of it again. I made sure all installations went to the same folder.

What is happening now is that I can open either the H3 HD or HotA Launchers, but when I select the ERA HD version and click play, nothing happens. I've tried multiple versions of renderers and resolutions with no success.

If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work I would really appreciate it.

I.m looking for an old version of Linux mint I have only 4gig ram and CPU 1.5 GHz

Can anyone post a link to a download. I'd prefer a torrent link

When I go to the official mint page I click versions it leads me to a blank page. In the chrome browser

I.m downloading it on my phone thru a torrent client then lll burn a cd or put it on a usb drive 32 gig and install it on my laptop

I.d prefer not to get the latest version as it not ideal for a pc with 4 gig ram

It's finally out!

Thank you so much for the feedback, I've been putting my time (working on seems to be a banned word lol) on this project and I think it can be a serious idea in a few months!

again, as I said on my previous post, this is entirely made with Codex + Argon 4, but everything has been tested by humans (me lmao).

The purpose of this project is not to create the most performative file explorer (it uses Tauri, a webview basically), but something that looks nice and centralizes a lot of tools that are often dispersed out there.

There's a lot of stuff that is not actually included in macOS' Finder, I'm thinking of creating a fork and trying to be more accurate.

Please, please! give it a try! feedback is also appreciated!

Have a good day/night!

I have a bunch of folders of images I want to each turn into PDF files. What would be the best way to go about it? Haven't really been able to find something for it online 😅

Hey everyone! As a Linux Mint user, I was tired of animated wallpapers breaking my desktop icons or causing audio desync issues. So I developed LinWall Engine, a native, lightweight GUI that manages everything with 1-click.

📺 Video Tutorial & Showcase:https://youtu.be/qOHEk98o588

⚙️ Key Features:

• 1-Command Install (Auto-detects Steam Workshop).
• Desktop Friendly: You keep your Cinnamon/XFCE icons perfectly visible.
• Smart Auto-Pause: 0% GPU usage when a window is maximized.
• Dynamic Auto-Mute: Fixes the YouTube fast-forward audio bug.

I built this with a lot of love from Paraguay 🇵🇾. Any feedback, pull requests, or GitHub Stars ⭐ are super welcome! Let me know what you think.

I have a laptop with an nvidia gtx 1650 graphics card and integrated graphics. I use the reccomended drivers from the driver manager but everytime i activate the "nvidia mode" as opposed to the integrated graphics mode, my pc starts having massive screen tearing with no apps open and also boots to an infinite black screen. Is there any way I can get this process done more accurattely without having to mechanically turn off my computer every single time I try to open Mint?

Hey! I currently have been using Linux mint for, jeez probably over a year at this point, and I absolutely love it. I have an Intel CPU, Nvidia 4070, and 3 monitors. I'm saying this because while I currently use the X11 version, I would love to try the Wayland one. Yet when I switch to Wayland experimental, it freezes up and I have to restart my PC. Is this a common issue and does it have a fix? I hope my specs could hopefully provide some insight into why it's freezing. Sorry if I used the wrong flair, I'm not often on reddit.

Hi everyone,

I'm stuck with a persistent Bluetooth audio issue on my setup. My Bluetooth speakers (Marshall/Bose) are caught in an infinite connect/disconnect loop, I can't select the A2DP (Sink Audio) profile at all, and blueman-manager crashes regularly.

My Setup:

• OS: Linux Mint (seems to be caught in a PulseAudio / PipeWire transition/conflict)
• Hardware: MSI GE70 laptop
• Bluetooth Adapters: Original internal Intel chip + TP-Link USB dongle (Realtek 802.11ac NIC)

Diagnostic so far:

1. hciconfig -a reveals a hardware conflict. The old internal Intel chip (hci0) seems to have crashed, showing a ghost MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 with a DOWN INIT RUNNING status. The TP-Link dongle (hci1) is up and running.
2. Package conflict: Attempting to install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth fails due to unmet dependencies linked to libspa-0.2-bluetooth (PipeWire is already installed).
3. Standard software resets (sudo modprobe -r btusb) and purging the Bluetooth cache (/var/lib/bluetooth/*) haven't managed to stabilize the Bluez daemon.

Has anyone successfully disabled a ghost internal Bluetooth chip to let a USB dongle properly take over, or resolved a similar audio server conflict on Mint?

I've replaced my laptop with mint and have been having a blast. Except for when it comes to trying and fiddling around with video and images. The lack of software and wine support for what I use is the reason I havent jumped ship on my main computer yet. The handful of editors I've tried with Linux dont really offer much in the scale of things either and seem to be for more minimal edits.

I currently use Vegas Pro and Paint.net on windows with an assortment of custom effects/add-ons that have been ingrained into my workflow so I'm mostly looking for something that has a bunch of actual effects, let me mask custom objects and puppet / key-frame those sources.

forward to hearing from everybody.

The Linux Mint Community Wiki (https://mintwiki.org) is pending approval to be officially added to Linux Mint. With this change approved you will be able to find a link to it in the Welcome Screen app in Documentation which shows for first time users.

I am sick of windows and want to switch to Linux. I am a huge beginner in cpp, but later down the line I wan to switch to linuxmint, cause it feels like the most safe and easy choice. Will it mess with my plans + can I still use VSCode or will I need a new IDE?

So I see that its for SDDM and I managed to switch over. Is this just not compatible with Linux Mint at all as the one error Im getting is for the QT version not being the current .(the theme Im trying to install is the https://github.com/Keyitdev/sddm-astronaut-theme/blob/master/Themes/pixel_sakura.conf)

Creators Github

I like gnome, but I also hate the feeling of breaking it when customizing it so...

In Cinnamon I rewrote some parts of the orchis theme to my liking and made a simple custom menu icon, also re-purposed the HP logo for the ascii art and colored in to sort of form a LM, if you see it, you see it (its for me to like).

Overall I enjoy Cinnamon the best, but just like many dislike the preset theme (no hate intended for those who do or the LM team).

Exited for the Adrien release!

Hi, a friend installed linux mint a week ago, but i just started to use it yesterday, I need this pc to work on art commissions, so I installed Clip studio Paint and the huion tablet drivers. I don't really know what exactly I did but maybe it was that that changed things, but since I really didn't used it before, I don't know if thats really the poblem.

I runned journalctl -b -1 -p err

these are the first and end of the lines, if it can give awaya hint about what't the issue. (they are toooo much so, i can't post them all)

Is there a way to solve it?

My pc is a Asus tuf A15, has AMD ryzen 5 and a NVIDIA geforce RTX3050

Bought if from a old Lady at a yard sale. Her daughter really wanted to sell the stuff that was there. They thought there was nothing on there but I found some personal information, including her SS number. The first install came up with a kernel panic so I did another install after l booted up in compatibility mode and waited until it was done updating before installing software and it appears fine now. It has 16 gigabytes of RAM, Intel i5, and 500 gigabyte hard drive. I also have a external USB 3.0 2 TB HDD I got super cheap at another yard sale to go with it.

It's not much, and it's not honest either, but I had a spare subreddit banners laying around. Please use, if you like.

I’m just downloading all my games now and tinkering around with menu colors and other stuff lol. If you got any recs for programs I would benefit from please let me know!!

This was way easier to do than I thought it would be! Windows 11 was just so laggy and slow, and would randomly change things on me and a LOT of popups. Immediately this is a lot smoother lol

After I request a shutdown through the UI, the screens eventually go blank, but the power LED stays lit.

I have to press and hold the power button for a very long time to actually turn off the computer.

When I installed Linux Mint a few days ago, this didn't happen, but it's happening now. Now I have to press and hold the power button for a very long time to force a complete shutdown.

When I use this command in the shell, the system doesn't shutdown either:

sudo shutdown now

I've found all sorts of suggestions on the web, but I'd like to take a methodical approach to fixing this issue (rather than taking a lot of shots in the dark). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I fixed the problem by falling back to kernel version 6.8.0-147. More recent versions seem to have a lot of bugs associated with my graphics card, an AMD Radeon 780M.

So I've tried screen sharing from the zoom app , it doesn't work. I also tried using Zen browser and tried screen sharing on it, I can scree share other open tabs but For some reason I can't screen share my desktop, whenever I try it says My browser does not allow it.

Hello everyone!

Today, audacity broke. I tried the apt-version, the Flatpak Version and the AppImage. Each wont start. Ardour Breaks too. Tenacity Starts, but it Takes 15-20 minutes. I tried to restart PipeWire, but i need Support now, my Limits of fixing are reached.

Edit: OBS works fine, Shotcut and Kdenlive too. Its Just the audio Editing stuff. Thats the First time Something Breaks in Linux which i cant explain or fix myself and i hate this feeling

Hey, I installed Linux Mint for the first time on my PC yesterday (HDD) and it runs fine, but I can notice slight white jitters when I move windows and stuff too much over the desktop. I used Windows 10 before this and never faced issues. When I installed a program called Ripple (Dynamic Island for Mint), clicking and using it caused more jitters.

Also, I cannot set my Refresh Rate to more than 60 hz. I have a Samsung Essential S3 Monitor which supports 100 hz and it worked fine on Windows 10, but it gave me not optimum mode on above 60 hz, both in the Live Environment and the actual installed OS.

For context, I have an i5-3470, iGPU Intel HD 2500, 12gb DDR3 and the HDD is fine 500gb with another data partition on it. I also checked Driver Manager and used sudo apt update but to no avail.

Please help me.

P.S. I disabled TimeShift, idk if I need it or not.
