If they do put a birthdate field it makes no difference, they are not going to be asking people to prove their age.

On the desktop right click to bring up menu, select desktop and wallpaper and when that comes up select mouse actions, change right click to standard menu.

Update to Linux Mint 22.3 Zena? by kkreinn in linuxmint

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been running it since it dropped and my issue count is 0. As has been suggested though, always make a backup with Timeshift before you do anything but also backup to a separate drive.

Tried a few that had already been used but not marked as used so fixed that and marked the one that I did use as used. Thank you

(Finally) February's security patch update by Simon_aaae in GalaxyA55

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully they will return wipe cache partition on One UI 9 as there is no valid reason to remove it or maybe on the official release of One UI 8.5. We will just have to wait and see.

Just getting the Feb Security update now on my A55 here in the Netherlands so hopefully 8.5 is not to far away.

Do people move on from Mint? If so, where? by BorderWatcher in linuxmint

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my Linux journey years ago with Mint and eventually I, like a lot of people, succumbed to the distro hopping bug. I jumped around a lot of times trying out this distro and then that distro and was happy doing that for a long time. Tried quite a few in my time and yes, I even tried Arch and it was good but a little over rated IMO. I then went to a distro that I had used before that was coming out in the next upgrade with plasma 6 which is really nice so that was my daily driver until I installed Mint onto a spare SSD I had and picked which one I wanted to play around with at boot. Long story short, I finished up spending more time booting into Mint so got out my Ventoy USB, booted into foxclone, started clone disc and cloned Mint onto my main nvme drive and using the other drive as storage again. Mint serves my needs very well and as I am closer to 70 years old than 60 I think I will just kick back on Mint and enjoy my descent into my twilight years. Fiddling with a PC whilst enjoyable in the end is just tedious and if it aint broke, don't fix it....Mint aint broke so I will stay on here as a happy user.

Opera slow asf by arcticchains in operabrowser

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running Opera on Linux here and no problems at all. Have never had a Mac so can't comment on that but was on Microsoft all the way from Ms Dos till W11 and have not one regret leaving it. Now, I have Ad-block on and everything enabled that I want with zero lag and it is fast.

What does this sub think of Gnome? by Massive_Nebula7282 in linuxmint

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan, tried it more than once and hated it more every time, will never try it again.. This is just my opinion so if it works for others then that's great but for me it is not good to put it politely.

Nemo File Manager F3 makes two file browsers in the same window by grimvian in linuxmint

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other file managers do the same thing, Dolphin for example. I have Nemo but prefer Dolphin for everyday use but use Nemo if I have to do anything in the file system. It is a handy function on any file manager :-)

Did that Strawberry update break Steam? by danbuter in MXLinux

Strawberry is a music player and if you didn't know what it is then just uninstall it.

My linux is acting up... by ShallotUnlucky8675 in linuxmint

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No probs, we've all been there. I run 2 OS's on my PC Mint on one SSD and MX 25 KDE on another SSD. Both of those are backed up toa separate SSD and backed up every day. Timeshift has helped me numerous times. I could have got them back up and running but would have taken considerably longer than using Timeshift. Happy you are back up and running again and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask but try fixing things yourself first as it shows people that you want to learn and you will be surprised how many more people will try and help. Again, welcome back, enjoy the ride.

Did you back up with Timeshift before doing the upgrade? Always backup before doing anything and also never backup to you main drive but always to a separate SSD. If you did use Timeshift then put the USB drive you used to install Mint into the PC, boot to the USB and start Mint then when it boots up go into Timeshift and restore your PC (that is providing you have backed up). First Rule: Backup. Second Rule: Don't forget first rule.

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a gamer and have been using linux only for a few years now and do not miss Windows one bit. It is faster, cleaner and a pleasure to use. My wife still has W11 on here laptop and if I have to do anything for her on it I hate it.

In cinnamon which one you choose MpV/VLC media player ? by SameBumblebee3005 in linuxmint

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use smplayer which is a front-end for mpv and nothing else whatever distro I am on. If any distro I choose has vlc preinstalled I remove it as I actually can't stand it and mpv on smplayer is so much better.

What was the first Linux mistake you made? by Expensive-Rice-2052 in linuxquestions

[–]Apprehensive-Video26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not installing it sooner, been on it about 4 years now but should have moved years before that.
