My two favourite distros! Started on Mint, switched to Zorin. Zorin is the first distro that recognised all my peripherals, incl my old laser printer! That alone swung it for me.

I tried Linux Mint, Linux Lite and Zorin, in my personal opinion ZORIN is the best and beautiful.

Loaded Zorin on a laptop (which I am on right now) just to try it out. Loaded much easier than windows, is user friendly and so far, easier to use. I am seriously considering putting it on my desktop.

While Simplenotes is definitely cross platform, The most irritating part is it does not handle Rich Text without workarounds. With this I can recommend ZohoNotes. Available on Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android

thanks for your helpful clips. Was wondering if you might know a way of enlarging the icons on the top right corner of a page. Close , min & max . I have a vision impairment so would like to make these icons bigger and more colourful. Thanks.

I don't know what exactly is wrong with me, but I ventured into realm of understanding flatpak through commandline. it was probably because I like to use Debian, and customize things, but anyway... flatpak is weird, but I like it. if you want to install blender you go: flatpak install org.blender.Blender if you want to run it: flatpak run org.blender.Blender searching is easy: flatpak search blender That obviously does not make a grain of sense... I must hate myself. Not to mention that dmenu totally does not include flatpaks in your searches so forget about quicklaunching those without a full desktop environment. unless you want to build dmenu from source or create some scripts, which I tried but gave up middle way...

Two years later, a lot more has been added to Thunderbird. It will soon even have MS Exchange support.

I hate that in both that after clicking the start menu I can't start typing, to search I have to click the typing box.... THIS is declassing..

Amazing. What I spent three frustrating hours on only took ten minutes after I watched your video. Much appreciated!

I tried the transparency and gtile extensions and they don't work on Cinnamon, apparently because they run on gnome only. I'm a beginner though, maybe there's a way to make them work.

I have a HPmini netbook that has lxle that ran fine that I used it until I killed the battery in 2020 and has been collecting dust ever since. Now I would like to revive it for IoT projects as an alternative to arduino or just to be able to run/test usb relays on protoboard. I hope it to be snapier.

I came to that same conclusion recently. I had been a long time Debian user,but swapped to Arch and Manjaro like 2-3 years ago. I am only a desktop user. I never felt any difference in using a rolling release or not. I still use Arch though, since I like the huge range the AUR has. But seldom do I run a sudo pacman -Syu

Super-Productivity is a FOSS app that most resembles TODOist except of course the Calendar function is actually free. It syncs with Google Calendar etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYbUg3mJgq6Lmc0

I am using WPS office on both Linux and Windows. Linux one if totally free while windows one free trial. WPS Office has lot features than traditional Microsoft one

I use a 4k monitor, but I also saw just 100% and 200% desktop scaling options. The other scaling options such as 75%, 125%, 150%, 175%, etc only showed up after setting "Enable fractional scaling controls" in that Setting tab you quickly flicked through at 3:54 BTW, this is my first week experimenting with Linux Mint as a Win11 user. So, I am still learning by doing as well as watching videos like this!

By and large there is no real difference between any of the Linux distros save KDE vs Gnome, everything else is just moving the same old tired furniture around, NixOS became interesting then the whole issue of DEI politics came in and destroyed it. As long as there are 50-100 distros, there will never be a year of Linux.

All-in-ones: - Thunderbird - Evolution - Nextcloud To-Do/Task managers: - Endeavour - Getting Things Gnome - Todoist - Planner Calendars: - Gnome Calendar - Morgan Email: - Geary - Mailspring RSS Feeds: - NewsFlash Note taking: - Simplenote - Joplin - Obsidian - Trilium - Xournal++ Cloud storage: - pCloud - icedrive - Mega Office Suite: - LibreOffice - OnlyOffice - WPS - Softmaker Office

It's so nice to watch these old videos. 2012 feels like a lifetime ago.

PPSSPP

First thing I do is uninstall Firefox

Does LocalSend uses Internet Data to transfer the files between iOS and Linux?

gTile activation keyboard shortcut?

How do you use all the Threads, the processors? On Windows you can choose from 1 to 4 having 4... I use 4... on Linux Mint can you make this choice? How do I know if I'm using the CPU at 100%, the performance of my PC?

I'm new to linux and have tried several other distros. Zorin appealed to me the most. The only problem I've encountered so far is the fingerprint sensor on my framework 13 laptop is unstable.

Here at the end of 2024, I have installed 12 browsers and actively use 4 or 5 of them depending on our needs. Chromium, UnGoogled Chromium, Firefox, Brave and Opera are all daily drivers and part of my Browser Isolation Practices. We are using Vivaldi more and more but hasn't made it into our daily user category.

informative, really appreciate the tips

both are amazing distros for linux beginners. I think it all comes down to wether people like Cinnamon or Gnome better.. Although you can technically install both on both distros :D

zen browser is love

9:09 that's probably a Nala issue. Nala's "sudo nala upgrade" is NOT the equivalent of "sudo apt upgrade", it actually runs "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade". So the equivalent of running "sudo apt upgrade" in Nala is to do "sudo nala upgrade --no-full".

Please make a new video about elementary os 8

Brave is my daily go to, along with "hardened Firefox". Also just started playing with "Floorp Browser".

Recent video is 2 months old. So 3 months to wait for the next video to come 😂

Windows is irrelevant for me now after trying Linux mint. Installed on all my machine and bye bye Microsoft.

What are your obs settings

If I could just get my DVD/CD drive to work that would be good. No wonder Windows is so popular you gotta be an IT dude to get the first thing working in Mint.

I find myself always coming back to Mint

Linux mint sucks in 2024 Spacily when recommend it to people who are switching to linux now

LM has bigger support, I would be inclined to suggest it to new users

4m:16sec - 'downloaded the photos from Google Photos and chucked them on the NAS' - this is the million dollar question as to HOW. I've got 700Gb on Google Photos so have been recommended this be done via Takeout 2Gb at a time. Learning how to get these zip folders into Synology Photos whilst retaining my Google Photos curated folders (and more importantly the EXIF data!!) Please explain how this works because Synology themselves make a pigs ear of this. Thanks

Idol, may I ask how are you related to the original content creator (host) of Infinitely Galactic? Is he your father? Just wondering. Because I am already a fan of this channel before you become the host.

Thunderbird can also be used for hacking. Someone added it to my mothers outlook and tried taking away all her info. And tried to take money from her PayPal. By downloading her saved passwords.

My Geekom AE7 worked with Mint 22 right away, it even detects the WiFi!

I agree. All browsers suck atm

Zen browser built on Firefox but has a modern UI.

this is more old than the earth itself

Anything Egyptian or French and the colonies thereof is a woke invasion coming from Ai.

I have a Intel processor and I am getting an AMD driver for it.....😂😂😂

I also prefer Standard Note to Simplenote as they are very similar but Standard Note has full encryption.

what about ticktick? I prefer that to-do app as it has the best free option and works on all platforms.

I use Flatpak on Kubuntu with no issues. In fact, when I use Discover, I see as many Flatpak apps as I do Snap.
