I was using Gnome Online Accounts without any problems for my Google Drive and Calendar. All of a sudden, the drive wasn’t working, something about invalid credentials. This has happened in the past. What would remedy it was deleting the info and resigning in. This time, when I did that, I couldn’t complete the sign in....

Is there any way to pull in the workspace switcher for the panel from Xfce when using Cinnamon? That’s basically the one thing that makes me want to switch back to Xfce. I like Cinnamon better in general, but being able to see and move applications via the workspace switcher in Xfce is a strong sell.

Is there any way to get the Xfce workspace switcher on Cinnamon? I’ve got hot corners enabled right now to try to replace it, but it’s definitely not as nice as being able to just drag applications across workspaces right in the switcher. Plus, having the application icons in the switcher makes it much easier to see at a...

Interesting stuff in here. New EDGE ISO, the team studying the pros and cons of Wayland and the comment about Ubuntu’s “increased focus on Snap, the quality of their 24.04 package base and what this means for us going forward” really caught my eye. Thoughts?

I was impressed by how light the RAM usage is on Linux Mint 21.2. I made a live usb and at cold boot was around 745MB which was only slightly higher than MX Linux. Very impressive considering how much more modern Cinnamon is and how much better it looks....

Is there a way to change the behavior of a middle click on an application in the panel away from Close and instead to New Window/Instance? I keep trying to say open a new Firefox window and instead close my existing window.

Hello !...

Linux Mint 21.2 is out on the servers, but hasn’t been announced yet....

I noticed the updater was incredibly slow today. security.ubuntu.com seems to be down. Is that the reason the updater isn’t working so well right now? Why is that the case? It makes it somewhat difficult to apply other updates. Even changing mirrors is incredibly slow and hardly works....

Switched to an AMD graphics card recently and ran “sudo apt remove --purge” on all ^nvidia* and ^libnvidia* packages. Unfortunately, one package (libnvidia-compute-470) seems to not get the message and won’t remove itself. Quick search around the internet on solutions have not resolved the issue yet. Wondering if anyone...

I realized today - after using my laptop to give a presentation at work - I have nearly completed transitioned from Windows as an operating system for work and school for the past year in favor of Linux Mint (specifically XFCE) on my laptop. Super interesting to step back and analyze this and recognize just how easily this...

Hi folks, I occasionally search out new themes and icons for Cinnamon but today, after a day of not using my laptop, the Themes GUI doesn’t open. It doesn’t show any process on System Monitor. Not sure why this would suddenly happen and I restored a snapshot from 2 days ago using Timeshift but it didn’t work. Any ideas on...
