Why doesn't LM Update Manager (mintinstall) have BIOS updates for my Lenovo like GNOME software does?

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?

Free Script Friday: I forgot to post a free script yesterday. Here you go. I use this script to record live streams. It works with various live streaming services and m3u8 files. It can record and play in mpv player or record in the background without playing or just play without recording. https://hastebin.teklynk.com/fazipayage.bash #freescriptfriday #bash #linux #code #linuxmint

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.

I've just realised it's two weeks since I used my Mac.
I have a Mac Mini (M1) and an MSI Cubi running Linux Mint sitting side-by-side, using the same monitor and speakers, so each morning, I make the choice. For the past two weeks it's been the Cubi, without any thought going into the matter. Just an interesting observation, really.

Just signed into a university computer running #Windows for the first time. The last #Microsoft OS I ran was Windows 7 and I have limited experience with later ones. At this point #Debian / #LinuxMint (i.e. #Cinnamon) looks more like Windows XP than current Windows does, which was disorienting. On a fresh account I was immediately asked to set up sign-in using my face and shown ads for #WhatsApp. About what I expected.

Quiero fardar de mi nuevo sistema operativo!! La verdad es que ha sido bastante fácil el cambio a Linux, y además estoy viendo que los juegos van mejor de lo que pensaba.

Quién sabe, quizá le pueda dar esquinazo completamente a Microsoft.

Das erste Mal, dass ich miterleben muss wie sich mein #LinuxMint nach einem fehlerhaften Update einfach nicht mehr reparieren lässt. Alles ist irgendwie abhängig und kann nicht mehr gefixt werden. #ReInstall unausweichlich.

Und jetzt hänge ich daran, alles wieder fit zu bekommen oder ist es Zeit mal eine neue Distro auszuprobieren?

Btw, programmiert hier jemand mit #Golang ? Ich hatte da eine Frage zur #GOROOT und #GOPATH

PSA: In case you run #Ubuntu 24.10 with #ZFS on Root, DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE YET! You are very likely to run into a #Linux kernel deadlock mid-flight during the upgrade which leaves you with a broken system.

Also: Use zfs snapshot before trying to upgrade. zfs-auto-snapshot to the rescue! #openzfs #linuxmint

Thinking of converting one of the home laptops to #linuxmint

Upon upgrade to #Windows11, I magically lost the ability to print double-sided. Had it with Windows 10, and it was taken away with 11. I never bothered to dig in and find out why.

Not only did #LinuxMint recognize my printer automatically, I again can request a double-sided print. Huzzah!

Until today I haven't used #xfce DE before, as I was attracted by KDE, and I also use (in a very loose term) Cinnamon, as #linuxmint is my #dailydriver .
But as my installation of #fedora42 went wrong somehow and I don't have much time to investigate, I've decided to try some #LightweightLinux on my laptop.
#manjaro with XFCE, so far, it's not bad, a bit different from Mint, sure. But I hope the usefulness of the old machine will increase.
