Romance Rouge, Nouvelles Noire<p>Salut, après quelques temps d’usage de <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a> je vais poser une première salve de questions, sûrement très connes. Je remercie d’avance celles et ceux qui répondront à l’une ou l’autre de ces questions et félicite d’avance celles et ceux qui arriveraient à le faire dans des termes que je comprends (c’est pas gagné). Je précise qu’il n’y a strictement aucune urgence ni même rien de bien important. <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a></p>

OMG! Ubuntu!<p>Linux Mint 22.2 Modernises its Default Theme</p><p>More details on the makeup of the upcoming Linux Mint 22.2 release have been shared, including its codename (for those who track those). Linux Mint 22.2, which is expected to be released in July or August, is named ‘Zara’, continuing project lead Clem’s codename convention of using female names in (somewhat) alphabetical order. I say ‘somewhat’ since Linux Mint 22.1 release was ‘Xia‘, yet Linux Mint 22.2 is ‘Zara‘ – not sure what Yara, Yasmin, Yvette, Yvonne and Yelena did wrong. Perhaps Clem went a dodgy date one time… It’s not the name of the the next release most Linux :sys_more_orange:<br><a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Cinnamon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cinnamon</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/EyeCandy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EyeCandy</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/Libadwaita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libadwaita</span></a> <a href="https://hello.2heng.xin/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> </p><p>:sys_omgubuntu: <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/05/linux-mint-22-2-default-theme-changes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/05/linux-</span><span class="invisible">mint-22-2-default-theme-changes</span></a></p>
Piglet<p>Yey. My brand new second hand laptop arrived this morning. So, to dual boot with the pre installed windows 11 or just go whole hog into Linux? I'm thinking of keeping windows and partitioning the hard drive mostly as a just in case I need it. Anyone got any strong distro feelings before I default to mint as pretty stable and noob friendly? <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Despite running into a pretty tall and sturdy wall with audio issues I have to admit my <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> experience otherwise has been pretty positive. Easier than expected. </p><p>Re: Audio- consensus seems to be Linux doesn’t like my integrated audio. It sees it, applies a codec and as far as it’s concerned it’s pumping out audio. I’m tired of ChatGPT, remapping stuff and troubleshooting. So I posted a topic in the official forum. Willing to consider getting a standalone sound card that Linux digs. Guess we’ll wait and see. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxCurious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxCurious</span></a></p>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Well, dang. Spent a few hours messing w/ audio stuff in Linux. No luck. Lots of helpful replies, though.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I heard that Linux very broadly is known for sound issues. And I had anecdotal assurance that Linux Mint was better off in that regard. I noticed right before leaving the house that I seem to be affected. I’ll mess with it later but it’s understandable to have issues given my PC was made for Windows. Any tips on where to start, <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> pros?</p><p>Yes, speakers are on.

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Hello from Windows! I needed to restart and was SUPER anxious that I botched the install after an unexpected prompt which made no sense to me. </p><p>ChatGPT said to say yes. I decided to say no. To me it sounded like "wanna blow up another partition for maximum pain?!"</p><p>Anyway, no damage on this side except my clock was off by a lot of hours. Odd.</p><p>OK, restarting to see how it is w/ the Mint install since I was running on the flash drive. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxCurious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxCurious</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I thought to myself, “hey why don’t I try to install Linux on my home PC while I’m hosting a super important call w/ my bosses!”</p><p>So that’s what I’m doing. Maybe. Let’s hope I don’t screw something up. </p><p>I always dread setting up dual boot and messing with partitions. Such overwhelmingly bad luck there. Yay for multiple backups of everything.</p><p>Threw a second flash drive in for crucial files and to maybe grab screenshots… </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxCurious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxCurious</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a></p>
electragician<p>I normally stick with Fedora and derivatives these days, but LMDE has been popping up in my feed recently. I decided to try it out, just to see how it would work.<br><br>Between having the latest Cinnamon and flatpaks, I'm not impacted by the relatively old packagebase on Bookworm. Also, I need to check out some stuff tonight, but I've been playing Bioshock a bit, and I swear the performance is better on this than Fedora 42... that might be some Wayland / nVidia driver issues rearing up though?<br><br>I still feel like Gnome is my favorite DE, but Cinnamon isn't bad at all.<br><br><a href="https://electragicians.space/tags/lmde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lmde</span></a><br><a href="https://electragicians.space/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a></p>

JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Hmmm. Not sure where I saw to use Rufus (first version of earlier post mistakenly said grub... that's something different) but the Linux Mint install guide suggests to use Etcher. I started with Rufus. It had a lot of options. Then it complained about having install files for some old version and needing to download more stuff. See image. I had a bad feeling so I went to Etcher. Way easier! Like 3 steps. Took maybe 8 mins to do its thing in total. By now I guess I have a bootable flashdrive. OK that really is it for today. Maybe I'll try booting tomorrow. We'll see. 😬 <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/LinuxCurious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxCurious</span></a></p>
