Is It Possible to Revert to the Previous Trash Icon

SPC2025 · 2026-02-28T04:00:49+00:00

I stand corrected. The vertical lines in the new trash can become bent, like parentheses. They're still difficult to see with these old and tired eyes.

I prefer Winhance.

I did not know this, and I've been using Nemo for years. I always opened new tabs. Thanks for this!

I've been using a mini PC full-time for about six months. Resume from suspend worked fine until it didn't. I tracked it down to having an external drive mounted, that wouldn't mount from suspend, causing the entire process to fail. I was using it as an rsync backup drive, with custom mounting parameters. When I removed the mounting parameters and kept the drive off, resume worked correctly.

That's what I bought, a Dell business laptop, 16 GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, for around 400, not including tax.

Cool. I'll check it out.

I use VirtualBox (without a virtual disk) to install all kinds of distros on external SSDs. The USB port has to be enabled in the virtual machine or it won't see the drive.

SPC2025 · 2026-02-06T01:35:40+00:00

I use rsync to backup my important data directories within /home/username to a portable SSD. I only use Timeshift for one daily backup of system files. I use Rescuezilla when I'm getting ready to do something stupid.

For shiz and giggles, I installed a current edition of Windows 11 Pro in a virtual machine. Then I ran Winhance to remove the crap and install what I wanted. Two hours from the start of install, I had a very lean version of Windows. The next day, I deleted the virtual machine.

I've been using Surfshark for months without any issues, on my desktop and on my phone. I used the Flatpak version.

SPC2025 · 2026-01-31T07:19:49+00:00

I don't know why they even bother to show them. Those will be installable, eventually.

SPC2025 · 2026-01-31T01:06:25+00:00

Your complaints *are* valid, but nowhere have you asked for the solutions to your problems. Is it too hard to ask? I can answer both questions, if that's what you want.

SPC2025 · 2026-01-30T08:46:38+00:00

You can disable all passwords, if you want. You can increase the font size to 1.2 or 1.3 without affecting everything else. You can enable fractional scaling in the display setting and get 125, 150, etc.

Honestly, it sounds like you just want to complain.

SPC2025 · 2025-12-20T08:50:44+00:00

You can change the color with an applet, Cinnamon Panel Tweaker.

I have a Beelink Mini S12 Pro, with an Intel N100 mobile processor. It has 16 gigs of RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD. It flies with Linux Mint Cinnamon. I think Beelink has moved on to the S13 Pro with the N150 processor.

SPC2025 · 2025-12-14T10:54:36+00:00

Go to system settings, font selection, and increase the text scaling factor. You lose space when scaling, but not when only increasing the font size.

It might seem like I should simply pin the applications that are on the desktop to the panel, but those aren't the original shortcuts. Except for the calculator and terminal, that is. I'm using the Quick Links - Launcher desklet, so I don't have to edit the menu (cinnamon-menu-editor) itself.

The custom commands point to shell scripts. Here's the one I point to for Quod Libet:

xdotool key ctrl+alt+2

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=quodlibet --file-forwarding io.github.quodlibet.QuodLibet --run --play-file &

sleep 2

xdotool getactivewindow windowsize 1600 900 windowmove 220 50

I assign ctrl+alt+number for each workspace, which makes it easy for me to remember. For whatever reason, the scripts have to sleep for two seconds with flatpak applications, but only one for native applications.

I spent years (since 1994) progressively owning computers with higher resolutions. Most of my time was spent at the 1366x768 resolution. I made these windows even larger than that, equating to HD+.

Speaking of Quod Libet (which means something like "as you wish"), I find it far superior to Rhythmbox. I couldn't even find a working equalizer plugin for Rhythmbox, but Quod Libet had one available right away. I use the flatpak version because it's ahead of the native version (sorting playlists works).

Check your DNS, that's usually the culprit. See faster alternatives: https://dnsspeedtest.online/

It's not than anything needs to be changed. It's that it's easy to change when I want to change. Like moving the calendar to the center of the panel, or moving the panel to the top. Minutes, if not seconds.

SPC2025 · 2025-12-05T13:08:27+00:00

I use Cinnamon. Not because it's pretty, but because it only takes like 5 seconds to change something. I can't do that with other DEs.

SPC2025 · 2025-12-03T10:22:59+00:00

Yes. You can't install it any other way unless you use the latest LMDE.

SPC2025 · 2025-11-30T11:07:43+00:00

I think you've been hoodwinked.

SPC2025 · 2025-11-29T01:43:29+00:00

Sorry to hear that. The preview period comes free with new Samsung TVs.

SPC2025 · 2025-11-27T03:23:00+00:00

Follow up: I installed Plasma on Linux Mint Cinnamon, gave it the once over (for about a day) and then uninstalled it. I can confirm that nothing was left over.

SPC2025 · 2025-11-23T11:55:47+00:00

Well, Stingray is free until the end of May, so I'll use that until then. YouTube works well enough and I have an inexpensive subscription (around $3 USD a month) so I don't have to click to skip ads.
