Good day! I am having trackpad issues. I can move the arrow around, but I have no scroll or click options. I am on a dell XPS plus that is only a few months old. I can often fix it by restarting cinnamon with the alt/F2 r command. This morning it was persistent and I couldn't correct with...

I made the swap over to Linux a couple of years ago, now. I bought a $500 used Dell laptop and set it up with Mint. I was on a Chromebook and I put Mint on that after setting up the Dell, but I have no sound other than bluetooth. It also locks up if you open too many tabs, so it has been a bit...

Hey folks, I was just down in Mexico and while I was there my computer went haywire. I had no keyboard control. Something locked up so I was forced to hard restart it, when it got to the login screen I couldn't enter my password and it was continuously logging in as guest. At one point 20 guest...

I have a dell with linux mint. I just updated to the newest version and on full charge I have 10 minutes before the battery dies. It then says 4-11 hours for full charge. terminal says battery is at 100% only a ear old and hardly ever off of charger. Any ideas?

I just installed mint on a chromebook. no sound. Is a kernel update a possible solution? It is using 5.4.0-131. I found a thread talking about a kernel update as a possible solution, but it did not confirm that it worked.

I have been working on transitioning to Linux for a year and a half. I got sidetracked and it took longer than expected to get set up with mint as my daily driver. Well, now it's been 6+ months since I've needed to open the Chromebook for anything, so yesterday I wiped ChromeOS and installed...

I tried to install through the software manager and it needs a later flatpack version. I've tried everything I can find even downloading an app image, but it won't execute. Any advice is appreciated.

This is gonna be a bit long, but I'm just posting this in case it helps give others direction or understanding. 10 months ago I signed up to this forum to get some insight as to what type of computer to buy to get Linux installed on, and advice on which distro to choose. I ended up settling on...

Hi folks. I'm revisiting after some time away. I set up a Dell Inspiron 7472 14-inch laptop with Linux Mint last may. Intel Core i5-8250u CPU, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD etc. I built a new house this summer so things got sidetracked on the set up side. I am moving over from a chromebook and...

Hello all! I got busy, but I'm ready to dump the Chromebook for good. I need help to set up my drives. I've searched, but haven't found a clear tutorial. If you could link to a page instead of having to take the time to walk me through it, I would be most grateful. I'm really liking linux, but...

Hey folks, Sooo, I've been muckin about getting familiar with things. I installed Librewolf and all the apps I need to replace everything I use on both my Chromebook and PC's. Really liking it, but I'm not using it full time yet due to battery life. When I first got the Dell (7472) with...

I just set up a Dell 7472 with Mint. I'm impressed, it's speedy. I think I am going to get WAY more out of this than any OS ever before, so it is not ALL about privacy anymore. I'm a little daunted by what it takes to install Librewolf, but I am literally into day 3 of my linux experience. I...

I have been reading and watching tutorials. I don't expect anyone to do the work for me. My goal is mostly just to get out of the surveillance game. I currently have a chromebook and the only real complaints I have are #1. Google. #2 Poor email clients, and I can't do basic pic/vid editing for...

Hey folks, 2 minutes since I registered and a full blown linux dumbtard. I've seen it in use and watched tutorials on install and basic features, but have never used it. I'm looking to get away from the sleaze giants, and looking for advice to get me going. Please, and thank you.
