BACKGROUND
Hello all! I fond and loved ubuntu around version 7, and it kept moving directions I didn't care for (bloat and features I didn't care about). I recently found Mint and have a renewed faith in migration totally back over to linux.
That being said, I know little to nothing about Linux....but I'm learning...again.
OK.
Hello bangers!Im currently using Mint 14 Cinnamon on my desktop (64 bit) and Crunchbang Waldorf on my laptop (32bit). Problem is my laptop is for e-mail and office work, so I cant use it to test all the stuff I want since it really, really, REALLY sucks. (and 32 bit)I am considering switching to Crunchbang Waldorf on my desktop.
I am thinking about adding something besides unity into my ubuntu 12.04.
My questions are this:
-If I add cinnamon, mate, gnome2/3, could I still call it it Ubuntu, or would it be Mint?
-Why not just add Mint instead of cinnamon, or mate, into Ubuntu?
-Or is Mint just those at the core, and not the other way around?
-I had terrible battery drain using Mint.
ive been looking for a new distro to use for a couple months now. i think i finally found it. ive been using several different versions of linux mint the last couple years and they were awesome. im a big fan of linux mint but i always wanted a openbox version of it and they stopped making the lxde version. ive always liked openbox. i never needed all that extra gui st
Linux Mint is the rising star of GNU/Linux desktop world! On distrowatch it became the most popular distro (although the popularity metrics isn’t based on user base of Linux Mint or Ubuntu but the page hits on the site). With the release of Ubuntu 11.10, Linux Mint 12 version was released with various desktop options like Gnome 3/Gnome shell, KDE Desktop etc.
I'm migrating to Linux Mint 13 from Linux Mint 12 and I need to have all the custom software installed on the Mint 12 drive, copied onto the Mint 13 installation drive. What would be the easiest/safest/best way to do that?
I was thinking about backing-up software using backup tools and loading the backup in Mint 13.
Or can I just replace the new filesystem.squashfs with the older one?
I installed Linux Mint first on my Acer Aspire 4930 and then dual booted with Windows 7. I see the correct time on Linux Mint but on booting into Windows the time is shifted back by a few hours, even after re-setting the time on rebooting it shows the wrong time again. Why is this happening?
I'm new to linux and decided to toss 11.3 on my old dell laptop to start learning linux. Want to eventually make the switch over but figure taking it slow and learning on an old laptop would be best.
Today’s tip is once again using Disk Usage Analyzer that comes with Linux Mint and it is giving Windows XP another helping hand.
