My slackware broke after installing updates seems like they are still using lilo as bootloader..... I think im going to try a fresh distro. =(

Perfect video to rescue...

What to do if linux mint sees printer but not scanner? Ive added printer step by step as you did - printing pages works but when Im opening simple scan it says "no scanners added" and I cant scan anything :/

Well, now I'm here in 2024 trying to use Linux Mint 22. The system uses "CUPS" printing which I believe has been the case for many years. BUT NOW... my "Printers" app (using CUPS in the background, just like shown here) will FIND my Epson printer through the network. It "SEEMS" to set it up and everything. BUT... if I try to print ANYTHING, including the "test page", it just stay in the queue. It just sits... FOREVER. No error. Nothing. Just plain old "won't work." I've been digging into this ALL DAY. Like literally from about 10am until 10pm. It's just a home setup Wifi network. The Epson ET-2720 is a pretty good Wifi printer. I've never had a problem. ANYONE? Any thoughts. I just cannot figure this out so far. I've tried all manner of command line "CUPS" commands and editing .conf files directly and more. I'm at a loss. Some "experts" online just say that nobody prints much anymore; so what's the big deal. I know. I don't print much... but I'm trying to ditch Windows altogether. I MIGHT need to print things here and there.

In newer versions of Alpine you could've used the setup-desktop command after install then it would have made you chose the desktop environment you want to use and install it for you automatically

Thanks... I feel Ubuntu is soooo stupid to remove that option. It's the dumbest decision even on a pc

when i run the first command in terminal on manjaro (which should work cause it's a arch distro?) "yay" as a command isn't found

I am using it now and not upgrading to Windows 11 it's free everything works and little to no effort installing anything from Garuda Gamer or Setup Assistant I must be honest I need help with mupen64plus and keep getting errors apparently Lutris relies on it to import Nintendo 64 ROMS I am getting amazing scary fast FPS compared to Windows. If you wanna learn Arch Linux this distro is the best way to do it gaming over all is okay I need a wired connection for faster download speeds because I am technically using a Windows adapter and not a Linux one.

Doesen't work, only VueScan works for me on my brother MFC-J6510DW with detecting my printer and scanning, but it costs 50$ to use it without watermark. They even gave sone .deb linux drivers but nothing happen if I install them. Only VueScan is able to detect and scan with my printer.

I need a high-quality picture. Scand and print

canon pixma 2500 series is ok with mint 21

22:33 still getting not in the suspects file. Not sure what’s going on I’m following every step you are doing

Thanks a lot! Your solution really works!

Is there any wrong if there is no option for the boot priority order?

Thank you :)

Really helped me a lot! Thanks, man!

I installed Slackware 1.1 back in 1993 to a 486 DX 50 custom system. I'm going to install it to an older Toshiba laptop to see if I can get it working. I would love to see how much Slackware changed.

Can you make a video about Xubuntu.

Awesome 🎉

Nice

Thanks I'm going to put this on a HP s3506 with 3gb ram with a ssd

It is to much for me coming over from windows 10 . I think the persistence once created on Rufus should be enough. nothing saves. I have tried everything and why would Linux make it so frigging difficult. I will stay on windows.

Does this require booting into a live environ on usb to run the commands?

My option for folder changing colors disappeared, how did this happen how to return?

Can you make it run on ram but that it saves the changes?

Does this work on a 2.5” SSD drive with messed up POP OS Efi boot partition?

Thanks so much for this video. I am planning to remove Linux Mint from my dual boot and the Grub menu. I have lost you at 13:43 where you loaded an app which I think is the virtualb0x. I don't have it in my Windows 10. Much appreciated if you can show me how to access this virtual box.

Hey Colin! Nice review. I used to use Lubuntu a lot, back in the days. But when they changed to LxQt, as opposed to LxDE previous, a lot got broken. At least in Dutch, my native language. I used to put my brother on Lubuntu too, but as he's not fluently in English, I moved him over to Mate, which he really likes (which I like too, btw, but I like Gnome better 😉). Just leaving a response and a like for the KZbin algorithm. 😄

I tried it, but It doesn't have a dark version of the Arc theme. I hate light themes. Simon Quigley replied and said to see if they can get on their roadmap. I was not the only one mentioning it. I don't like snaps personally.

8:45 in this video the font is easy to read, like!

Great review btw.

Is the Snap firefox version really only 118?

The "Audible Bell' tab is in the Behavior tab of `qterminal` with Lubuntu *noble* (24.04)

I haven't checked out Lubuntu in a couple years or so. Thanks for the update. It looks really good. Simon should make an iso for the Pinebook Pro. Seems like it would be a good match. Although, I haven't tried LxQT on a laptop. I may have to tinker with that combo at some point. Great video. Thanks Colin.

Why a light theme? It hurts me old eyes😎

Hey! Bit late I know but great video. I keep getting the error about “No EFI partitions we’re found, continue at your own risk” even though I’m in a legacy system, was wondering if it’s safe to just ignore those and continue? Is there any way to make sure my USB boots in legacy mode. Anyways, great content and love the work.

I installed ubuntu and i can't find boot mode option in bios

I love solus but the repository are way to slow

Colin, this is Dan (MiyoLinux). It's really nice to see what you've accomplished with YAD! I've watched your last videos where you've used your YAD scripts on other systems, and it has been a joy to see what you've accomplished...AMAZING!!! Take care my man!

There are too many vague information on this subject. Your video is detailed and warns us about the risks. Thank you very much.

KDE Neon and Wayland no issues so far after a couple of weeks of use. Only thing when I use Gnome disks the minimize, maximize and close won't have the Plastic theme minimize, maximize and close look. It has with Xorg. But not much of an issue. Breeze dark theme. Same for other themes. But from now on I stick with Breeze dark.

Heya Colin, great stuff. Funny thing, I wanted to keep the times down as well. So...we both post 40 minute + videos within hours of each other. I am working on a Fedora vid right now and I'll tell you what, I had no luck with Wayland. Programs not opening, random crashes of Firefox & the biggest complaint of all is I could not get OBS to work right under Wayland. Simplescreenrecorder worked but it's not OBS. I switched to X and voila' everything works. Wayland may be the future but I'll wait for the future to try again. Thanks again Colin, I appreciate all the long hours you put into espousing Linux. When you get ready and need a tester of PCTLC OS, I'm first in line to try it out for ya Mate!

GREAT presentation. Thanks My wish is a little bit more MacOS look, with the Taskbar on the top, Time and Calendar in the middle of the Topbar, and a dock on the bottom like Plank or something.

Thank You SO Much the video was very Helpful

Heya Colin, WOW! PCTLC_OS is right around the bend. Man the work you have put in here is amazing. Great stuff Mate! Most peeps just don't realize the time a small project can take, much less the bigger stuff like what you have done with your spinning. Wow...BOOM-CHAKA-LOCKA!!! Thanks Colin, Great seeing your work.

how do you boot this without root?

G'day Colin😉 I always uninstall Bluetooth with Muon on KDE Neon because I never use it anyway. Been using Neon with Wayland for a couple of weeks now and so far no problems.

font is too small, no good presentation.

Hello have you a git for your yad script?

A quick and easy install... Can't say I'm surprised. 🤣
