A few improvements and a handy web app utility, but older kernel causes problems for some hardware Tim Anderson Mon 11 Jan 2021 // 13:15 UTC Share Copy The Linux Mint team has released version 20.1 - codenamed Ulyssa - with long-term support to 2025 and the usual three variants: Cinnamon, MATE, and Xfce. This is the first point release to Linux Mint since version 20 in July 2020. Both editions are based on Ubuntu 20.4 LTS, which is why long-term support is promised. The ...

WhatsApp has announced changes to its Privacy Policy which will take effect from 8th February. The question now arises that with the update in the privacy policy, why is everyone suddenly getting hyped about the upcoming changes? So there are 3 categories of WhatsApp users right now. One who actually bothered to go through the privacy policy, second are those who just clicked on “Agree” and third are still waiting to make a decision regarding what to do. Unless you have been living under a ...

Versie 20.1 van Linux Mint is uitgekomen. Linux Mint is een op Ubuntu gebaseerde distributie en deze uitgave is een versie met extra lange ondersteuning die tot 2025 van updates zal worden voorzien.

Aegis69 reviewed v19.3 Final on Dec 18, 2019 Still no upgrade channel, so EVERY TIME they update it you have to reinstall. Debian is now the only reliable distro if you want a persistamt install. Arch is crap since it has an installer from 1979, ubuntu is too unreliable and cant make up its mind about anything. Hell at this point I might say linux desktop is dead on arrival. dejavu reviewed v19.1 Beta on Dec 7, 2018 Excellent alternative for Windows....

Im considering re-installing my operating system. Again. I did something, somehow, that made a bunch of dependencies for my applications update to newer versions than what the applications need; usually Id be all for that, but it made a bunch of them stop working. WINE is one of those that stopped working. I spent a few hours tinkering with it, and I could not for the life of me get it work. The theory at the moment is that it was updating to Linux Mint 19 from Mint 18 that did it. So Im in t...

Ubuntu-based Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa gets pushed to 2021 as many bugs still plague it Lets speak openly and honestly here. The Linux Mint developers never promised that the next version of the operating system would be released in the year 2020. However, when the Linux Mint 20.1 "Ulyssa" BETA was released before Christmas, many people hoped a stable version would be released before 2021. Well, folks, I am sorry to say that the terrible 2020 strikes again, as today is New Years Eve, and the Mint...

Author(s): Charly Khünast For admins like Charly, who try to avoid typing at all costs, the shell offers an excellent opportunity to avoid wear on your fingertips in the form of built-in history. There are commands that I type several dozen times a day – grep /var/log/syslog is such a classic. The shell keeps a history of all my entries; thanks to the history command, I can always see in a numbered list which commands I typed last. The which history at the command line just d...

Author(s): Erik Bärwaldt Dont let your desktop look boring. With the Variety wallpaper manager, you can easily set up a rotating selection of background images and other customized options. Popular desktop environments under Linux usually come with a gallery of background images to give the desktop an individual touch. But over time, seeing the same old images while the computer boots up can become boring. A few desktop environments, like KDE Plasma, have integrated a slideshow fun...

Just to put minds at rest. I have indeed asked a similar question some time ago, so I need to explain why I am here again. At the moment, I am running Linux Mint v.18.1 on a 13 year old laptop with all sorts of peripheral devices plugged into the various ports. Start up speed is reasonable, although I suspect nowhere near the best. Running speed, other than when disk thrashing starts, is generally satisfactory. Unfortunately, Mint 18 reaches end of life in April 2021, and my suspicion is that t...
