Best Cinnamon video for newbs like me I've seen. Now I will first need to learn to install youtube on Linux so I can go through these step by step once Linux is on my system. "Linux for Seniors" that's me! Win 10, support end date, Oct 2025 time for this 67 year old to try Linux for the first time... Liked & subscribed!
Hi, watched your other Linux Mint video. I did comment on it. I like Mint more and more. From the comments, I have read on here. Your Subscribers are really loving Mint Making me want to change today or maybe tomorrow. Thank you once again. Take care
Thanks for all the Linux tips. I may have missed it in your other videos, but what is that time and calendar widget on your desktop? I really like that because I'm always forgetting what day it is. Lol.
hello, do you know when it will be possible to upgrade from mint 21.3 to 22? I don't want to reinstall, I want to upgrade. Thanks for the presentations, I learn a lot from them
Well it's something that can be kind of touchy, example if one puts unit to sleep or suspend mode and your menu and panel is blank or black , most will shut off and restart computer . I have many times mentioned this fix ... the keyboard trick press (Alt + F2 then enter small r ), to Reset Cinnamon not the computer ... thus avoiding shutting down. These glitches do not happen on all units (computers). I see these glitches more on Nvidia GPU's . Another way to restart cinnamon is keyboard ( Ctrl + Alt + Esc) keys. Enjoy....
I'm not a senior YET, but close enough. lol I LOVE Linux but I have trouble getting some older games to run like Bejewled and all the Hoyle Card games.
I tried Linux Mint 22 with the MATE desktop environment on my old laptop (Dell Inspiron N5110, i5 2nd gen, 4GB RAM), and everything works well, including Bluetooth, which hadn't worked for years on Windows 7 but works now. I am new to Linux. Should I go with the MATE or XFCE version, or should I try another distro?
if one installs mint with the /home in a separate partition then you can upgrade easily without a clean install we have been doing it since last 3 releases
Thanks for the excellent video. I am running version 21 and would like to upgrade to 22 but the the mintupgrade tools still points to an old 21 version. Could you please make a video showing how to upgrade to 22 without having to reinstall Mint?
There have been several updates to mint install (software Manager) in past weeks, after the first update, I also did notice Xonotic missing along with other flatpak applications, my fix was to reinstall software manager.... not sure that has been fixed , but if you have issues my suggestion is and for anyone reading this, file a bug report on Linux Mint so the developers can check into that. Regards, t
On my installation of Mint 21 and 22 Cinnamon, I have to authenticate myself many times just to install a single program. I have not found a solution for this on Linux Mint forum or Google. Do you have a solution or suggestion to fix this?
I don’t know about how many times you are referring, Terminal on a open session, you should be able to install multiple with only one sudo command, if you close then re authenticate its a security thing, when using synaptic it requires it before you open the interface , and can install multiple apps. Software manager open also requires password to install, you want that , otherwise anyone can just install anything including malware. Regards, t
Interestingly, my wife Mint 21 stopped getting time updates from the web (NTP stopped working). After faffing about for a couple hours with web searches, I just upgraded to Mint 22. Problem solved!
If you are on LMDE 6 currently. There is an update to Cinnamon 6.2.7 using a 6.10.xx Linux Kernel as of 7-26-24 , and the Software manager or mintinstall has also been updated. Regards, t

Thanks for the Mint 22 info. I guess I'll wait, hoping for an upgrade path from 21.3.

Same here and thanks
Great, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great review! But wow... the icon jump from 22 to 43 was insane. Just my 2 cents.
Depends on your screen res !, Thanks for your input
In Linux mint 22 in folders does not have a Preference to change the background. Can it be done or is there a software package I need to install?
I took a guess of what you are asking , and made a Video , hopefully that helps. Best Regards, t

As I pointed out in my Video, the mint team has that info, if Clem and his team release that you will know if on previous version.
Great video! I would like to know, you recommend suspended or sleep mode for laptops.

Both are great, Xfce is considered lightweight. 😀

Would that not be the same as Backup home folder ?

Just wait ….if there will be a upgrade path, Clem will possibly release that in a week or two
This Mint also runs fine, easy and fast to install although it seems a bit heavier.
Xonotic do not show up in my Software Manager...
