Can I ask a stupid Linux question… Please bear with me… I’m using Mint (Also tried Ubuntu before) so I don’t know if it’s the same with every distro… but why is every setting and every little functionality it’s own ”app”? Why aren’t these ”compiled” into larger, coherent wholes? For someone whose first instinct when setting up a new computer is to delete every unnecessary thing, I feel a bit triggered by all these myriad little apps that do one thing. #Linux #LinuxMint #Noob

Bei den #Linux Distros hab ich sie langsam alle durch, glaub ich. Auf meinem Dienstrechner bleibt #LinuxMint (in der #Debian-Fassung), aber auch die #Ubuntu-Variante mit #Xfce ist super: Durchdacht, konsequent und funktioniert vollkommen problemlos. Und das bei einem Jahresumsatz von Linux Mint von vermutlich unter 0,5M $. Das ist auch wirtschaftlich eine beeindruckende Leistung.

www.linuxmint.comDonors - Linux MintLinux Mint is an elegant, easy to use, up to date and comfortable desktop operating system.

Frage an die Linux-Experten:

Habe seit ein paar Monaten Linux Mint auf dem Rechner, Installation klappte recht problemlos.

Hardware wurde erkannt, Software stellt auch kein wirkliches Problem dar, System läuft.

Habe die Partitionen bzw. Laufwerke für boot etc. bei der Installation als Standard übernommen, inkl. Verschlüsselung.

Nun bekomme ich häufig die Fehlermeldung, mein boot-Laufwerk sei fast oder ganz voll.

Reinigen hilft nur kurzfristig.

Was kann ich tun? 🐧

Acabo de descubrir que en Linux Mint no me funciona la entrada doble de auriculares y micrófono.

Me funcionan por separado con un splitter, pero si intento conectar un único jack de 3.5 al conector de audio, sólo me pilla los auriculares, no el micro. En Windows sí me funciona así que no es un problema de hardware.

Es bastante frustrante porque seguro que es de esas cosas de "Tienes que activar/instalar X cosa" y ya. Pero no sé qué 😅

I've updated the BASH script I wrote for the Computer Recycling project to include some basic CPU and GPU benchmarks. The script produces a PDF on the desktop which includes system specifications, and a barcode of the system's serial number. If there is no serial number or uses the MAC address of the network card. HTTPS://GitHub.com/chaslinux/h. It also gives rudimentary details about battery life and screen size for laptops. #ubuntu #linuxmint

Chiques, que me hicieron...
No puedo dejar de ver videos de Linux y ahora no sé si instalar Debian 12, Manjaro, Linux Mint, Ubuntu Studio, Linux Arch 😱
De a poco voy entendiendo las diferencias entre Entornos, Distrubuciones y Sistemas Operativos 🥲

¿Algun canal Discord, Telegram o creadore de contenido, o algo que recomienden para acercarme a la correcta instalación? que mi notebook viene sin so🙏

It has been 10 days since I switched to Linux Mint as my daily OS. There have been some bumps, only one major one (booting to Windows disabled the grub menu so only Windows would boot up, fixed using reFind boot manager). Currently the only thing I can't do under Linux is run Forte Agent which has to be run using Wine. I am sure it is a configuration issue, but I had to boot back to Windows today to run it, which was very annoying due to the painfully slow start-up time.

A los #linuxeros tengo una duda del más allá del tercer mundo:

Es sobre las actualizaciones que aparecen en el gestor de la laptop.
¿Como cuánto pesa todos esos ficheritos si se sumaran? y
¿Qué tiempo normalmente le lleva a usted con su servicio de internet aplicar toda esa actualización online?

I’ve been on mastodon for 2.5 years now and what they say is true… I’m THIS close to installing Linux over a windows computer I own

I also might have unfounded distro opinions? This is all happening so fast

HUGE EDIT: Linux Mint didn't recognize my Audio Drivers, this morning after waking up and booting up the system. Zero Sound, Troubleshooting didn't do any good as Mint refused to accept the audacity of me using an NVIDIA sound card in 2025. I made another post about how irritating this is. I am only editing this post because I want to keep certain discussions alive and not lose them in the digital void.

NVIDIA sound cards truly don't get any love from many distros aside from Ubuntu, POP_OS, and Fedora...Probably Arch Linux, but I have little interest in working with that host of daemons. I'm just a boy, not a dev or programmer who can translate and command such a beast as Arch. Logging in, doing stuff, and light terminal related stuff is about all I want to do.
