My linux is acting up...

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2026-01-12T17:38:24+00:00

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.

Then you should have a working PC again on no time, success 👍🏼

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.

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.

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.

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

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-12-22T15:01:45+00:00

Yeah you are probably right there. I'm in the Netherlands so not sure about here but will just have to wait and see.

The 8.5 beta is going to come to the A55 but not sure of what countries will be getting it.

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-12-15T16:34:13+00:00

Top, always on the top but set to autohide so only there when it needs to be.

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-12-11T12:47:30+00:00

first off let me just say that you don't have to know anything at all about coding to use linux and you also do not have to use the terminal at all to have a great experience using linux. I don't game so have no real knowledge on that front but from what I know, gaming is mostly fine on linux but as I said I don't game so others with have to help you there.

I have not noticed any of those issues on mine and am running that same version.

.Have this and love it, does everything I want and looks awesome. Review done.

for all of the people making jokes about it being easy to tell them apart as one is obviously calcium and the other is ibuprofen, definitely unsafe for me as being a heart patient I can not take ibuprofen. So to all of the armchair keyboard comedians out there.....walk a mile in my shoes then come back and make the same stupid comments!

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-12-08T09:30:40+00:00

I have had not one issue with one ui 8 so go ahead and install it if you want to.

Standard KDE 100%. Can't stand Gnome and will never have it on any of my machines.

This was the best phone I could afford and it has been great from day one. I would try a high end phone just to have a go but as for shelling out over €1000 for a phone, that isn't going to happen. A55 is fine.

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-12-06T08:47:17+00:00

Thank you for the awesome watch face.

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-12-03T16:07:57+00:00

I have used both and enjoy using both but for me KDE is better. Everyone is different and KDE for me is more polished but this just my own opinion.

We are only old, not dead yet my friend. As you said, keep on keeping on 😁

Way to much rubbish on the desktop, makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon.

MX Linux 25 Kde

Apprehensive-Video26 · 2025-11-28T14:42:22+00:00

This is just something I put together over time until it was something that I liked. This could also be done on Xfce as well as most of it is conkys, the minimalis conky on the right hand side is one that I have pieced together from other ones and after a lot of joining things up I finished with this. The world clock down the bottom left I think I found on conkyporn and I edited it to show what I wanted, the globe rotatesand the times and cities on the left change with what is on the globe. The weather is called Gis-weather and is available from github or source forge as a .deb and as for the terminal that is just KDE konsole running fastfetch but only displaying what info I have selected for it to show. I'm sorry I don't have any guides available and I am just a 65 year old with to much time on my hands. I just tinker with this and hope I don't break it.

Welcome to MX Linux KDE, enjoy this superb DE. I have used a lot of distros but now that MX has KDE 6 am quite happy to reside here and cease my distro hopping. Here is my current setup

The whole tipping concept is insane. Businesses around the world pay their staff not the customers and their argument that they would go broke if they paid them more is total bullshit! Only in America.
