i installed gnome on Mint to my old sony vaio with 4gb ram, it was great, i love gnome for its simplicity n i use keyboard to navigate faster, n its very different n faster esp using XDM to download from certain sites which always failed on other Linux distros, till next 4 days later, it went freezed, tried to rebooted it but the touchscreen didnt working at all, n the freeze n lagging happened again n again. i frustrated n need my laptop to work, so i revert back to Nobara Os. im not that kind of Nerd who can fix all techy things n im also a new to linux. but, it was really great having Gnome on Linux Mint which i kinda hate Mint with KDE coz it looks like windows n i hate windows ALOT. 🤣 n BTW i learn how to install gnome on Mint from this video, its great man, thanks, u still deserved a thumb to educate noobie like me.
Very helpful, I have three different computers all running Ubuntu. When upgrading to 24.04 each gave me different headaches... The best part is in various ways. Thinking of switching distros if things don't improve
@@generalstep I already made the switch. Love Mint, except for Cinnamon. Nightmares of Windows I think. So I installed GDM Gnome. I'm not looking back until I have to upgrade again. Since Mint uses Ubuntu Packages. And the next upgrade uses Noble... UGH.
@@tsmith731 great man,. Btw i have a question , I have installed Ubuntu, Debian, popOS But none of them showing my second monitor The first monitor is connected with Display port cable And the second which is not showing is connected with HDMI.. i am not sure where the problem is.. Both monitors works in Windows expect linux. Do you have any idea about this
@@generalstep I have had the same issues, with Windows and Linux. I used a workaround. I bought display adapters. I found my one stupid Windows machine would not accept two HDMI ports being plugged in at the same time. So I bought HDMI to VGA, and the monitor had a VGA port. Windows worked with that. And for Linux. I bought an HDMI to Dvi port. and that worked for Ubuntu. Sometimes it's best to think of hardware instead of software... Try and Jerry Rigg it..... Hope this helps a little bit
It's a preference thing. I used windows for 25+ years Mac for like 5, and linux for 7 now If you would have asked me what I would prefer when I first started linux, I would have said something like windows. But because I used ubuntu, and didn't know how to change the DE, this left me to get used to, and eventually prefer it. Like a huge thing I love, is the use of desktops. I can place all the windows I want for a task on one of them. Like I put discord with youtube on my left desktop. Then my main work browser in the center desktop, with some settings and other popout menus on my right most one. Then since I use dash to panel, it means I can just scroll while my mouse is over that panel, and boom, I can go between the arranged environments super fast. Instead of fiddling with opening and closing them, I just scroll and I'm there.
I get to the login page after installing gnome but when I select my profile it appears to be trying to login and says something about fingerprint authentication was unsuccessful, please try again. How do I fix that?
Ha, I figured it out. On the login page I pressed ctrl+alt+f2 to open a virtual terminal and logged in there and then ran "sudo apt remove fprintd" to uninstall the finger print scanner
i've used it and it's quite stable overall, but leaving it because it's based on ubuntu lts and the gnome version wasn't the latest one, i think it was gnome 42

Erm, wait, so to be clear, you should not use the browser extensions option for gnome extensions. There is an app for it, and it is far more secure not. Just open up your app manager of choice, and try looking on extension manager. This should be in the list and it works great and is highly recommended instead of using the very exploitable browser extension option you did in this video
that app was depricated a while back, there is a new app that ties in with the gnome shell extension. Once you install from gnome extention it appears in the new app for you to enable, disable, and configure.
When i apply changes for downloading the vanilla gnome package, it says could not install, fix broken packages first. Anyone knows the solution? Ive already updated the system..
If anyone is having issues

vanilla-gnome-desktop : Depends: pulseaudio

Bro thank you
Thank you so much!
thanks
thank you sm bro 🙏🙏
I just spend 30 min trying to fix this issue, thank you!
Perfect tutorial i must say !! no use of CML, only GUI. Great for new users switching from windows
I would say terminal is easier than synaptic because in synaptic you have to search select and apply but terminal just apt install software
On the terminal you need the specific package name to install it@@vilzio89

Yes
in the settings wheel on login, (the one where he selected "gnome on xorg"), you can select cinnamon.

how abouut the error? is gnome stable fot mint? afaik they have mate

wait, why gnome on xorg?
for nvidia users probably due to wayland being awful on nvidia.
its changed recently with the new driver.
Why not? Gnome has been running on xorg since a while right?
Then install wayland version
can you make a how to with mint 22? or are the steps the same?
same steps

I can found something problem this version after time?
Could i install gnome apps or just get vanilla gnome on ubuntu to remove themes
Do not gnome.
Can I delet cinnamon after installation process
Yes
It's still best to keep cinnamon as a backup should gnome break in anyway
hello does anyone have an issue of texts being too small and buttons being small, like to exit a running application, minimize buttons

Check out the first comment, it helped me a lot.
How can i delete gnome and undo the changes?
is it possible to update it to the latest version of gnome?
beautiful
is there a way to make the dash appear?
seek GNOME Extension Manager,
then Browse,
Dash-to-Dock - install
voi la
That's suck I wanna remove. Pla do it of remove version 😭
Is this stable?
I think it's most likely unstable, because Linux Mint doesn't officially support the use of this DE
@@Ownsuxue Yes it does.
I believe it may simply make more sense to install Ubuntu and disable snap..? what's the attraction of installing an old version of Gnome on mint?
Because is lighter than Ubuntu, or no ?
It's incredibly annoying to disable snaps on Ubuntu because basically everything requires it and anytime you update it'll reinstall itself

why should I install ugly gnome cuzz cinnamon is better than gnome
@SaladLettuce-wo3ysbecause I love mint
Then why do you customise it to look better?
cinnamon looks like an cheap ass version of windows, what are you talking about
