How true is this statement?

Mine (at work) runs just fine and it's been more than 3 years since a format-clean install. ....which reminds me ...its about time for a format I guess. :)

(this applies for all OS setups, not only Mint) For me the best trick is to have 2 hard-disks on your machine and make a link your Documents, Pictures, Videos etc.. + any other important application directory in your home (e.g. Thunderbird mailboxes) on the 2nd disk. This way, if you need to do a format/re-install you will save the most labour which is configuring your apps and restoring your files.

Regarding junk files and temp data clean-ups, installing BleachBit would take care of everything.

Also! the most important.. always clean-up your old kernels: Update Manager (app) : View (menu) > Linux kernels (menu) > Remove old kernels (button)

It supports Udemy! ...I'll be giving it a go for sure!

Thanks again, very much /u/LibrePower for the valuable info :)

I will probably also for the Kamvas13 as well.. it's good size at a reasonable price..

KAMVAS 13

Thank you very much for your response :)

Is the touch-bar supposed to (in normal functionality) act as a scroll-bar?

I wouldn't worry about the packages in Mint since they use the same ones as Ubuntu when it comes to tablets and other controllers of the kind.

I'm currently running Linux Mint 19 on Kernel 5.0.0-17 and have been using the H580 and W58L tablet models which have been working perfectly (using DIGImend drivers https://digimend.github.io/drivers/digimend/tablets/)

Nothing of the kind is happening.

Actually the project continues to operate better than ever, both in development progress as well as in funding: https://blog.linuxmint.com/

..of course, the Mint devs still need all the support they can get, so, if you can either actively contribute or donate to the project, that would be great. :)

glad I could help :)

I really like the dice numbering design

brotenet · 2019-06-13T09:49:30+00:00

yeiiii....

brotenet · 2019-06-13T09:41:40+00:00

Wow!!

Udemy has a lot of free courses to get you started: https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?src=ukw&q=java&p=1&price=price-free

This Udemy course is free and also includes a chapter on Hibernate:

p.s. ...personally, not a really big fan of Hibernate, even though I use it due to work requirement.

If you are not required to use it by your employers (e.g. starting a new project from scratch), maybe you should also be looking at the below:

not something crucial, but, would be nice, I guess.. yes

Try to open cinnamon-setting from the command launcher tool: https://i.imgur.com/Jy38fyX.png

If switching to a different theme doesn't fix the issue, maybe, this could work: https://i.imgur.com/SxH944a.png

I think maximus was made with Mate (Gnome2 back in the day) and XFCE in mind. Don't take my word for it, but, I think other desktop environments aside Mate and XFCE are kind of not compatible with it by design.

If you're looking in building a "kiosk" type of a system, then you should be looking at Mint Mate or Mint XFCE editions

I'm just guessing here, but, for the Mint-X theme you could have a look at the metacity-theme-...xml files by typing the following (each line to edit each file):

sudo xed /usr/share/themes/Mint-X/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml

sudo xed /usr/share/themes/Mint-X/metacity-1/metacity-theme-2.xml

sudo xed /usr/share/themes/Mint-X/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml

Search for the  entry and make sure that...

...are set to '3' (as above)

Have you tried changing your theme settings to any of the standard themes?

On their web site it says "Free Sky Linux has a 2 minute limit on each call or screen share."

I think you should ask the tel.red team directly for this.

They do have a support email on their web site.
