I'm still trying to figure out if I should install KaOS or KDE Neon as my third OS. Right now I got Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon and Windows 10. I love Mint, but would like to test the KDE Plasma desktop environment. I like the idea that KaOS is not built on Ubuntu like KDE Neon, if that matters in...

Ok, but if I used the DD command in Linux Mint terminal, does that mean that I used unetbootin? If so, then I might use ROSA imagewriter instead. But since the USB did boot and work finally, it should be correct? Alright, now when I know that ACPI=off works, this is how to continue the...

Ok, seems that I solved the boot problem with KaOS USB live. I just added acpi=off to the settings. Now it starts and seems to work. Would this be a problem if I continue installing KaOS? Seems like my laptop ACPI is not compatible with KaOS? Running with it permanently off, would that work?

Thanks, I did use dd from Linux Mint now and got the same result = fail after boot with several error messages (something with ACPI) and then shutdown. So I guess the ISO file did write correctly even with balenaEtcher and also ROSA imagewriter and finally DD. I got a MSI GL72M 7REX with both...

I did start with balenaEtcher and default image writer in Linux Mint. After reboot with the USB memory stick, it boots up to a KaOS boot menu, tried both options but it stops after a while and shuts down the computer. So I guessed it might be a problem with the image writers I use and therefore...

Thanks, I'll try that. I already tried another one, "balenaEtcher", but seems like only IsoWriter does a correct job with KaOS ISO images. Atleast that's what the documentation gives me a hint of: https://kaosx.us/docs/usb_flash/ Actually I thought all USB creators would work, but if that is...

I'm pretty sure it can do a bootable USB of a KaOS ISO image file. Just following documentation here: https://kaosx.us/docs/usb_flash/ Although, haven't clued out how to install IsoWriter yet. Do you think you know how to and would you mind sharing your thoughts?

How do I install this program in Linux Mint? I found all the files here: https://github.com/KaOSx/isowriter Clicked the "Clone or Download" button and got isowriter-master.zip downloaded. Unpacked all files to "Downloads" folder, extracted files to Downloads folder with all subfolders. But how...

Welcome! Great to know that I'm not the only 8-bit geek. :-)

Currently this, usually I got own background photos I take on mtb rides, but this one was clean and Mint.

That might be the cause. Did you check that the new charger also has enough power (W) and not just the correct voltage (V)? If the charger has less power, in combination with an old battery and heavy workloads consuming even more power, it can't keep the required voltage. Result=strange behaviour.

I'm not sure, but I think TLP does not change _anything_ at all by just installing it. You have to manually do every change in TLP to make it active. Depending on how much power you want to save, you will loose performance - thats the deal. I prefer to run my laptop with AC power almost all...

I had same type of video playback problems. In my case it was CPU speed setting. I have Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon on two different laptops, both suffered from short freezing video hiccups. After checking the processor speed with command INXI, it showed that it was not running anywhere near full...

Have you done any changes in TLP or did you just install it? TLP itself does not speed up your system, your settings will. I set up the CPU speed on AC power to Conservative instead of the default Powersave - made an impressive difference in speed. CPU speed jumped from 800MHz to 2100-2500MHz. I...

Hi all! My name is Leo Ranta, from Gothenburg, Sweden. I've always been interested in computers and video games, since I was a kid. It all started with borrowing an Atari 2600 VCS from a friend over the summer when I was 10 years old (in 1982). Got one for Christmas in 1982 and three years...
