Yes, agreed with the other comment. Did you check uptime command ? In your system info it shows Uptime : 22 mins. In a terminal you can also type uptime or w
I downloaded Java, Removed LibreOffice, and installed OpenOffice. I see all the icons, and everything, but when I click on it to open it, NOTHING happens. I just, wont open, I uninstalled, and reinstalled it. and I dont know what to do. Can anyone please help me?
Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...
Agreed on using Firefox/LibreWolf and uBlock Origin, I love that combination. I think the thing is that Google Chrome is much faster than Firefox on Android phones (I don’t mind, I hardly ever use mobile to browse), and long time habits can be hard to break for some people.
Your storing in password protected zip file is better than storing it plain text in a file on your computer but the password encryption of zip is probably not that strong. A friend of mine insists on using a disk encrypted pen drive with an office document having his passwords. I hope he has a backup drive :)
Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I’ve already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn’t work....
I have an oldish Dell Latitude 7480 which doesn’t meet the requirements for upgrade to Windows 11 so I thought I’d take the opportunity to install Linux on it as I only really need it for day to day web stuff / studying / media and light gaming....
Where my curiosity lies is this, from my understanding Linux Mint is based on underlying Ubuntu as is Pop_OS, so how come both Pop_OS and Ubuntu recognise the wi-fi card out of the box so to speak but Mint doesn’t.
Different releases of Linux distributions come with different kernel versions (e.g. 4.x vs 5.x vs 6.x). And in the past sometimes for some devices (Like Android smart phones for mtp file transfer, or security keys) additional udev rules had to be added to make the Linux system recognize the device properly. Then there is firmware (closed source binary blobs) as well.
I remember a friend having issues with the WiFi card, with an old LTS version of Ubuntu, whereas a brand new Ubuntu version worked fine with the WiFi card. Glad to hear it all works for you, and welcome on board @ Planet Linux.
I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).
Hi Linux user :) It makes some sense to define your threat model first.. That can save time and make things clear for yourself. For example, are you using a desktop computer that you will never take outside and are you living at the 13th floor ? Or do you have a laptop that you take with you every day ? In the latter case it may make sense to look at disk encryption. A nice toy to play with some security and privacy things on Linux is Tails.. Tails is also an easy way to show friends, family and colleagues some security and privacy features of Linux on a small pen drive, or to carry a few files safely with you.

On the Fediverse with micro-blogging like Mastodon, Pleroma and similar there is a hashtag which is related to work. I forgot what the exact hashtag is but I saw other people recommending it whenever people ask for job opportunities. If you get a match you may be able to contact them directly via email. Good luck!
Agreed. Trust is always a thing on the Internet. And uptime too. searx.be / yewtu.be (From the same person. They posted when their previous provider took them down) has been stable and useful for me for a long time. I do trust Disroot and they have search too : search.disroot.org If it does not work you can complain via their XMPP chat, or file a bug at one of their other services.
What’s your level of trust in their provider, netcup? For instance I would never trust anything hosted at Hetzner and Linode because they’ve been known to intercept traffic.
Interesting. Do you have sources for this statement ?
