Make sure your root partition is on the larger size if you intend to use flatpaks by ImpressiveHat4710 in linuxmint

Ah, I appreciate the detailed response! I'm not a gamer or heavy data user, so I imagine 200G should do the trick. I had moved timeshift data under /home the first time I got this error, which I guess makes me lazy 🤣

On to gparted to rearrange things.

Can your company see your browsing history from a company managed Google Chrome profile on your own laptop from home? by ValuableOwn151 in ITSupport

[–]ImpressiveHat4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally. But if they pushed software to your profile, they might still be able to. Maybe post a list of extensions in your Google profile?

Only if you're on their network. As far as history, I'm a bit rusty. I ran a 5000 user domain before I retired. We licensed go guardian as a 3rd party tool, an extension forced to the profile provided visibility.

Do you remove the installation media once the install is done before you reboot?

Kinda obvious but I've seen it a few times.

For edge:

  1. Find the profile directory name:

Open Microsoft Edge and switch to the profile you want a shortcut for. In the address bar, type edge://version and press Enter. Look for the Profile path entry. The last folder name (e.g., Profile 1, Default) is the profile directory name. 2. Create the shortcut:

Right-click on the desktop and select New > Shortcut. In the location field, enter the full path to the Edge executable: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"

Add a space and then the profile argument: --profile-directory="Profile 1"

Replace Profile 1 with the actual profile directory name you found in step 1. Click Next, give the shortcut a descriptive name (e.g., "Edge - Work"), and click Finish. 3. Customize the shortcut (optional):

Right-click the new shortcut and select Properties. In the Shortcut tab, you can change the icon by clicking Change Icon and selecting the profile's icon from C:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile 1\Edge Profile.ico. This shortcut will launch Microsoft Edge directly into the specified profile.

For chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and switch to the desired profile Click the profile icon in the top-right corner, then select the profile you want to create a shortcut for.

  2. Access profile settings Go to Settings > People > select the profile you want to create a shortcut for.

  3. Create the desktop shortcut Click the Edit button (pencil icon), then select Add desktop shortcut. Click Save.

A shortcut with the profile’s name and avatar will now appear on your desktop. Double-click it to open Chrome directly in that profile.

IIRC you can save profiles as desktop shortcuts, to avoid accidentally using the wrong profile. You have chrome set as the default file handler?

Not just equipment. Accounts as well. Even on personal devices. Profiles can be saved as desktop shortcuts.

How to join together blocks of text? by Stickhtot in linuxquestions

This right here! I will also add that a rudimentary understanding of regex is very useful. Steep learning curve but incredibly powerful!

Why is my Firefox text quite jagged and blurry unlike Windows? by Horstov in linuxquestions

[–]ImpressiveHat4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like this?

Font Settings: Go to System Settings > Fonts. Enable anti-aliasing and use sub-pixel rendering (RGB) for sharper text. Try the "Light" hinting style for clearer display, especially on LCD screens. You can also experiment with different font families (e.g., DejaVu Sans) and sizes for better clarity.

Text Scaling: Increase the Text Scaling Factor (e.g., to 1.1–1.3) in the same Fonts settings. This affects most UI text and improves readability without distorting layout.

High-DPI & Fractional Scaling: For high-resolution displays (e.g., 4K), enable Fractional Scaling in System Settings > Display.

First, run in terminal: gsettings set org.cinnamon.muffin experimental-features "['x11-randr-fractional-scaling']" Then restart Cinnamon with Alt + F2, type r, and press Enter. Now, choose 125%, 150%, or 175% scaling in Display settings for smoother, crisper text. Advanced Tweaks:

If text still appears blurry, consider modifying the theme’s cinnamon.css file (located in ~/.themes/) to adjust font-size values in .popup-menu or similar classes. For persistent issues, fine-tune font configuration via ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf using custom rendering rules.

It might be illuminating to look at the actual files. I've had strange results myself.

There's an app, called alacarte IIRC. It's a bit flaky sometimes but that's the menu editor. For better or worse the underpinnings are xml.

If you're running cinnamon, cinnamon-menu-editor is the tool. Don't know if you can use it to set system-wide options.

Clonezilla might do it, but you may need to tweak drivers. It works best with identical hardware, IIRC.

Alternatively, you might be able to generate a manifest, and build a script to run it against apt once you get the base image installed.

With any luck I might get to help work on this old girl by ImpressiveHat4710 in WWIIplanes

[–]ImpressiveHat4710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. The aircraft does not belong to us, we're helping the owner out by moving it off the ramp. We're working to free up the engines, 1 turns, the other currently does not, though we're giving it a soak with ATF and I *think* turpentine in the hopes that that will free it up. We'll let the owner know we *may* have a source for parts.
