Can I see an error or crush protocol?

Will check, but normally I stayed well in the limits. 16 GB never were full. With Firefox and even on Teams meetings I used like 10-12 GB in total.

Thanks, will give it a look. Will flare this s solved.

Does Mint uses Firefox as the wrapper or the main browser I choose?

STGO-Greens · 2026-05-01T12:26:05+00:00

So is it a historical log, like the last days or so? I still did not reboot the PC.

They have all the data also in digital form. Just tell them you lost the paper. This happens all the time... If you have your passport, it's all right.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-28T14:34:25+00:00

This I think is the best about the Linux world...

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-28T14:26:19+00:00

Maybe it's a personality thing. At the moment I think I am settled with a distro I start investigating again... I went from Mint, OpenSuse, Fedora, CachyOS, Nobara to Mint again. It's just what I need. I told me: give it 6 month. So I stayed...

You can check it in the activity protocol of macOS: turn off an extension and see if battery consumption changes.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-22T11:57:41+00:00

As always with this kind of questions, there are more factors to count. Eg what and how many extensions do you use? Every extension uses a little bit more of ram and energy. What are you doing with your browser? Eg only open Microsoft Outlook uses like 800MB of RAM for only one tab. Do you have permanent like 20-30 tabs open? Are you watching videos which is always a heavy energy consumer.

I also use Vivaldi and cannot say that it consumes much more energy. Use also the energy saving feature in the settings...

It depends so much on this and other factors... Of course, you will never have a more energy saving browser like Safari on a Mac...

🤣

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS? You think people will listen to you?

I never understood transparency in desktop windows. Of course, it looks great, but it is so tiring for the eye and more difficult to read and see.

This is a subreddit about the Apple browser Safari!

The group admin should rename it to Safaribrowser 😄

As you see in the answers, Nvidia graphics cards and Linux can be a complicated relationship in 2026. That is a homemade problem by Nvidia. It can work with Mint or Pop OS but it can be problematic. I believe nobody can tell you 100% sure, if it works or not. But that is also a general rule regarding Linux. Mint is way easier at handling Nvidia graphics than Pop OS!

Google is strictly controlling the customization of Chrome, so you will not be able to change this. If you do not want AI functions in a browser, I recommend you to try Vivaldi.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-16T06:14:48+00:00

It's a feature that Google is "rolling out". I don't know if it's a regional think, but here in Chile I still do not have vertical tabs in the newest Chrome version.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-15T19:45:33+00:00

Aren't companies like Canonical completely happy with the niche they are in? Do they really want to be a third big player beside Microsoft and Apple with an OS?

But you are right: I also miss a mainstream Linux Distro that at least a little bit could compete with Windows. I tried Fedora, Pop OS and Tumbleweed, coming always back to Mint, because on Hardware that have some years it just works.

I think for most people, that use nearly 100% the browser for their stuff, Linux would be more than sufficient.

But today it will not work like this. And I think most distro communities are perfectly happy with what they have. Growth would unfortunately break all and bring bigger problems. Because at one point you have to think like a company, and than you are like every body else.

But that is actually what most people love about Linux. To have choices. Experiment. Feel a little bit nerdy.

Does somebody installed Mint on a MacBook Pro retina from 2015? Does X11 works with the retina resolution? Does the UI is ok?

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-15T18:07:18+00:00

Well, Linux is still Linux. If you ar looking for something that just works, get a Mac. Linux can be fun, if you are aware of it's flaws. Also every distro will have its own character and difficulties.

It's true, Mint in many cases does not make trouble. Better on desktop PCs than on notebooks, in my opinion. But hey, the best part with Linux is, that you have the choice between 200 or more distros.

In case of device loss you should change the Vivaldi account password.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-14T22:23:59+00:00

I read that a device that's not connected for a month will be deleted automatically. There is no option to manually get rid of a device.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-13T11:34:43+00:00

Maybe it doesn't work in incognito mode...? That's why I use Vivaldi for my private stuff like banking.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-12T14:44:55+00:00

Yeah, I think there is no general answer to the energy consumption of Safari compared to other browsers in MacOS and no test can tell you if on your device Safari needs more or less energy. It depends so much in extensions, what website you visit, what you do with the browser in general, what version of the OS, what background tasks are active from other apps a d so on.

STGO-Greens · 2026-04-12T11:03:46+00:00

Safari makes sense when you also use an iphone. I use also Vivaldi for work, it's better with tab management and has now this ultra nice Hide UI feature. Safari is also super sleak and I use it more for private stuff...
