I am thinking about doing this to my other Windows desktop I use to watch in my living room. Would have already done it but I can't figure out HDR running on Linux.
Incredible overview of the new Mint. Thank you for covering this. You've done a great job. I am so happy to have found your channel. So many features in Mint, makes me realize that I am not as fearful about Dec of 2025. I've got machines that are Win10 and can't go up to Win11 ... like i7-6700k (two or three of those). So, I'm gonna move my File Servers to Lint, I think.
Even though I'm 100% pro-Linux, if you're super deeply embedded in Windows it's really not hard at all to make those Windows 10 machines run 11. I've done it on two or three of my older machines that were previously Windows, then later changed to Linux, just because I wanted to see how Windows 11 would run on them. Spoiler: it wasn't good. But it worked, and it was easy with just a short registry edit.

Ok sounds great, but can I have 2 mice and change the left/right buttons for the second mouse? And can I adjust the scroll speed? These things have been lacking for a long time in Mint, and have to be done with tricks or are impossible.
Maybe you can answer this; why does the latest upgrade disable our laptop sound cards, and why does Mint not address this with a fix or a rollback, or even a setting tab in the system settings? It's very irritating having to use a Bluetooth speaker, instead of our previously fine sound apps. Not all users are tech whizzes.
I have no sound on my Zenbook UX430UQ on 21.3 Mint Cinnamon, Alsamixer says I have a Realtek ALC295 sound card. I went on the Asus Website and it says I installed the latest BIOS, tried to enter a few lines suggested by forums but the best I can get is a few seconds of audio then a quick drop off and back to no sound.

No one uses lenux for look. The user cares about drivers, softwares, hardware acceleration. But unfortunately Linux still didn't solve that issue even on latest updates.

Linux mint would be great if they didn't have there settings all over the place and just have it all in a settings app and not all over the place in the start menu.
Has the problem with suspend (and the inability to log back in) been resolved on laptops with Ryzen5? It's the only reason I switched to Fedora (which is great, but I prefer Mint).
It could be a kernel issue. Try going into a live boot and update the kernel. I used mainline kernel and updated it to the latest, I was having trouble with backstreet after login in on one amd hp laptop.
One of the biggest disadvantages in using Linux is the fragmentation. Way, way too much time is spent creating new distros from scratch, or forking old ones. Dev's just want their 15 minutes of fame in being able to say they have a github and founded some linux os, lmao. I know this is Mint, but the issue of working things being removed, and later introduced as a "new feature" isn't confined to Windows :)
when you start your mint on the panel an icon of troubleshooting will pop up with the new update but i personally just wait until 2 updates are past my version just to make sure of the stability and bugs just like that shitty Windows 10 and 11
Hi, can you please help me. I have re-installed ubuntu/fedora about 8 times in last 7 seven days. the problem is i have nvidia graphics cards and after installing distro work fine for 1 day and then it says nvidia kernal module missing and then the boot time goes upto infinity and everything else becomes too slow as well. I'm not expert at linux i can't figure what could be wrong.
So... as a linux mint user, I see not much new features actually = ) Wayland experimental? No thank you. All other features looks just like what we already have. Did not notice anything of interest.
Agree , I have wifi adapter only for installing Linux mint on usb drive , when loading it to my other computer , I have no way of hooking my computer to a cable for doing update for wifi drivers .. That's why I'm running Ubuntu , it has some usb wifi adapters in the install ..
I tried to upgrade to this a few months back; it wouldn't run. More trouble than it was worth and I went back to an earlier release. I'm now buying new computer and I'm going back to Ubuntu, which tends to have a more up to date Kernel anyway.
That's great. But Linux mint doesn't have an aarch64 version, meaning you can't install it in a virtual machine on the new Macs M1, M2... or only in emulation mode which is very slow.
I wish Mint gave you an option at install to use something other than systemd. I don't care about the Linux philosophical problems with systemd, but I have a Dell 3189 that's SUPER slow to boot with systemd. I've got MXLinux on it which boots with SysV (actually switchable to systemd - if you really want it), and it's probably twice as quick at boot. Nevermind my little 2-core Acer E11...it just about freezes with Mint. I love Mint on my more powerful stuff, but for my low-spec hardware it's just too heavy in several ways.
@@kae0196thanks, yeah, I've looked at Puppy and all of its variants, but after ten years of distro hopping and setting up distros, I've kind of settled into what I enjoy and want in one, in an old man set in his ways manner. I've grown to love the beauty and maturity of Mint, and in my opinion only, it's the nicest, most convenient distro out there without a lot of user manipulation required. At this point I just need my distro to get out of the way and let me get work done, so I (no disrespect to what you use and enjoy) don't want to waste my limited time messing around with system adjustments. I've got one Windows writing program that teeters on unuseable with most all distros, but runs very well and beautifully with Mint, so I'm constrained (in my mind) to trying to make that work. But thank you for that recommendation! If I get time I'll look into Puppy again. Have a great day.
I was meaning how had to switch to ancient x11 with nvidia cards since with wayland not as good support when I was using wayland a few months ago@@LeeMaiden
I would not say that, if i were you. Performance. Because Xfce will destroy you in a blink of an eye. Terminal / start without gui will destroy Xfce with a blink of an eye.
Cinnamon is awful. I think I'm switching to XFCE or going back to Windows. You can't change the Panel's application icons to stack vertically when more than one application is open, you know, like Windows XP. It took me 2 hours to find out where to turn off the Desktop Background. It's under a drop down menu called Picture Aspect Ratio (default 1.2) I can increase the Title Bar Font Size on my windows, but not resize the tiny close box X icon buttons. It's all very frustrating and it's like they did no user testing before they rolled it out.
Linux mint is just useful to navigate your drivers, system settings.... Real struggle is with installing software on it apt won't work deb package went dependency issues then you'll findout how peaceful windows was😂
The initial experimental support of Wayland is a surefire way to mess up your system. You should definitely use it. It keeps Linux consistently uselessly buggy. ;-)
"Unfortunately, despite being in its latest version, Cinammon is still unable to keep up with design trends in 2024.

WTF too much hype - like you're a paid infomercial. The best thing about it is that it seems to have a few subtle changes that make it look 0.5% more like the amazing Plasma desktop... but it's still far more limited.
To me it's still looking dated. Free and open linux distros - they all have the same problem (yes, even Plasma looks just so so). Chineese distros like Deepin, FydeOS (ChromeOS-copy) or my favourite Ubuntu Kylin look a lot better - fresh, minimalistic, functionally, but these are not trustworthy. I love the apperance of ChromeOS, Ubuntu Kylin or Windows8, Windows10, and I wish there was at least one free distro looking stunning just out of the box without spending hours on customisation. (Gnome looks not too bad, but it has completely different philosophy and to me it is not a DE for every day use).

*Hope you get to take a look, at the new Zorin OS.*
*Between these 2 distros, it seems those of us who plan on SWITCHING to Linux...*

If you end up like Zorin but wanting more, just try another distro with KDE. Zorin uses a windowsy KDE theme. That’s all it really is.
The enthusiasm in this man's voice is the only reason why I watch his videos.

how can we install power bi on linux??
Windows VM :)
Cinnamon gets very confused if you have three monitors and XFCE has STILL got the problem with system sounds. I didn't try MATE. 🙂
