Tutorial on how to remove snap support and install flatpaks in Kubuntu. I did this on my recent Kubuntu 23.10 installation. Also works for Lubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. Not supported on any other Ubuntu variants or distros based on Ubuntu...

I finally updated my Debian 12 computer with the new kernel version. No issues with the update. However, I ended up installing Kubuntu 23.10 on my other computer, which was on LMDE 6. It has just what that computer needs as well as a better desktop environment. I could not get it on Debian...

So I finally updated my LMDE 6 computer this morning. No issues so far, but I will test it out for a few days. My Debian 12 computer will update next week if all is OK. However, my LMDE 6 computer will be switching to Tuxedo OS next week. While it's based on Ubuntu, it has the power profile...

Ubuntu MATE 22.04 should be a decent option if you are coming from Mac OS. Comment posted at 10:43 AM on 2/15/24.

My critique in docks that I know of so far. Cairo is an old, but advanced dock that works on any desktop environment or window manager. But it does not support Wayland or display scaling over 100%. Dash to Dock is a dock exclusive to the GNOME shell, but requires extensions to make it work...

I'll look into the newer kernels. But if Linux 6.1 causes any issues, then I'll either enable the backport kernels, attempt to compile the Linux 6.6 LTS kernel, or install SpiralLinux which already has the backport kernel and seems to be an amazing distro. (The Cinnamon version of SpiralLinux...

My HP Laptop 15 is a great mid-range computer and has decent Linux support. The only issue I have is that the laptop keyboard takes at least 15 seconds to wake up after booting a common Linux distro, but I have no problems when using a wireless keyboard. It has an 11th-gen Intel i5 CPU and...

I installed the generic Debian 6.1 kernel. I don't use NVIDIA and will not be installing system updates until March, so there's no way of knowing yet if the updates will go smoothly. If necessary, I will install a newer kernel from Debian backports if Linux 6.1 becomes a big problem.

Would it be possible to install Linux 5.15 LTS on Debian 12? That kernel version worked fine for me on Ubuntu / Mint. I'm open to installing Linux 6.7-liquorix, but then I could have issues getting VirtualBox to work on a Liquorix kernel module.

Thanks. I'll try using my alternate Microsoft Outlook mail, then.

KDE Plasma Breeze theme with some minor tweaks.

Another option worth considering is installing Linux with Btrfs + snapper. Garuda Linux, OpenSUSE, and SpiralLinux support this out of the box. Btrfs snapper snapshots use less disk space than Timeshift Rsync snapshots.

I have no mouse lag issues on my 43" LG UHDTV on all desktops I used, including XFCE. I'm using a 48px Breeze cursor on Plasma with 200% display scaling on X11.

I honestly believe you. I had a gaming PC which used Linux Mint 19.3 faithfully and it still held up after all those years. If I have to, then both computers may end up switching to Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon / XFCE. Only time will tell, though.

I went to the forums.debian.net page.

Debian 12.3 release in December was a failure due to a file corruption bug on Linux 6.1.0-14. After finding out about this, I restored to my previous Timeshift backup and went back to 6.1.0-13 immediately. I postponed updates. Then Debian 12.4 was released and even that had a buggy kernel...

Hello. I've been using Linux since 2018. I started on Linux Mint 19 and that's where my Linux roots came from. I used various other distros, including MX Linux, Kubuntu, Manjaro, Arch Linux, Garuda Linux, and Fedora. I'm now using Debian 12 KDE and LMDE 6 on my computers. I tried numerous times...
