Is it possible to convert mp4 video,shot with my Sony a6000 camera,to AVI,to play on a tv that apparently only supports AVI?There are other formats I could shoot with on this camera, but I think they are proprietary sony, so probably not Linux compatible.I am using Mint 20.1.I tried Handbreak...

I use "market" for lack of a better term,since market implies an exchange of currency.Has anyone devised a method of determining how may computers are using linux as a daily driver as opposed to developers and casual experimenters like me?Obviously,the number of downloads is not useful for this...

Nice dream.Mine is more modest:a Linux loaded laptop made in Canada that cost less than $1000.00 CDN.

Another Linux Mint fanboy here.The only thing I miss about windows is theAdobe photo products.They would have lost me anyway when they went to subscription only.I just dont use them enough to justify a monthly fee.Thanks to all the forums one can find alternative software and some instruction on...

If you have a CD/DVD drive,that works,but is much slower than a thumb drive.I believe some distros offer an on-line install,but I have never tried that.If your flash drive is getting hot enough to smell,it is probably garbage.It is nit a good idea to use cheap off-brand drives ,especially to...

Yea,after trying some rediculously complicated backup programs,I got out my trusty 2TB external drive and copied everything to it the old fashion way(drag and drop).It lives in the closet until needed(every time I bork my system and need to do a clean install)I also have copies of all the...

Sorry,I guess you will have to wait for someone more knowlegable than me to read your post,All I can suggest is to try different programs.They don't all handle external drives the same way.Is it possible that one or more partitions is encrypted?

Gparted should be able to delete unwanted partitions and re-format the drive.It is in the Mint software manager.If there is any data on the drive you want to keep,copy it to another drive first.

Well,thought I would try Pop_os again,froze completely 2 or 3 times yesterday.Guess I'll leave it for the tinkerers for now.Back to Mint 20.I wonder how well POP works on a system 76 machine.Congrats,Mint team.Why do I bother with anything else?

Well,I switched to linux to escape windows bloatware and invasive update process,so no.I must admit,though,I am totally Googlized,so you might say that is just as bad.However,my original reasom for using Google Chrome still stands:speed and ease of operation.Also,I,m hooked on Youtube,so I...

Hmmm.I run a sata SSD in my oldish laptop,and the only time the fan runs is when I hold the computer on my lap instead of a table(or a board on my lap).However if you truly have a heat issue,using 4 erasers under the laptop to get more clearance will help.I also notice that this laptop runs a...

Last time I tried,Netflix didn't work on Chromium.It does work fine on Chrome.,right out of the box ,no tweaking neccessary.

Just decided to convert the rest of my vinyl on audacity.Started on the laptop,but for some reason audacity randomly stops recording after a random length of time.I'm thinking Audacity needs more resources,so I switched to the tower(same distro).So far so good.Not too crazy about ding this on...

Yea,I've pretty much got all the programs memorized now.I was pretty impressed with my new build.It installed faster than I could wash the dishes.That M.2 drive is pretty slick.Stuff insalls so fast,I can just go get it when I need it,if I miss it on the initial install.

Well,I tried Zorin first,because it looks just like Windows 7;then I tried Peppermint,Mint,maybe one or two others,before I found out that they were all based on Ubuntu.So I tried Ubuntu.Discovered that all my dual monitor woes went away.Now I mostly leave Ubuntu (18.04LTS) on the tower,and when...

I just built a new computer withanAzrock Z390 Pro4 MB,in anAntek Silent case.All of the USB ports have power when the computer is turned off,both the ones on the motherboard and those on the front of the case.Is this normal?I'm running Ubuntu 18.04,and it is up to date.Everything else seems to...

Another option is to phisically remove your windows harddrive and install linux on a different harddrive.Put the windows drive on a shelf somewhere in case you want it again.When you are sure you dont need winows anymore,use it for backup in an external case.This avoids any dual boot issues you...

Wasn't planning to clone.Just want to do a clean install,and reinstall all the same programs,all from Ubuntu software.There always seems to be something I forget until I need it and its not there.It doesn't help that I don't always remember the names of the programs.Just read in another post...

I cant remember where I saw this;I am building a new tower (as soon as the rest of the parts get here).I want to install all of the same programs on the new machine.I am going to use Ubuntu 18.04 again.I saw a quick way to do this,but can't remember where.I guess I can always write them down on...

When I bought my steinberg UR12,the guy said there is an optional power supply for it ,depending what I was using it for.Works fine on USB,but could still use more volume on some programs,such as video playback.Every one I tried is low volume.Strange,when Audacious has plenty of volume.Too bad...
