I am not testing it. I am using it as my main OS. Although it is still in testing Debian Trixie is very stable. Some people also use Debian Sid as their main OS. A lot of the packages that are in Debian Sid which are also in Testing are on the LTS version of Ubuntu. Linux Mint also has those packages so Debian Sid and Testing are not really bleeding edge.
@@AndreaBorman I am not that brave. I daily drive Fedora, but I have played with other distros like Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Kali, Rocky, and Debian. It is really great to get so much good info from someone that really works across desktop distros. My work is mainly server side though. I am busy building a Proxmox server. Proxmox is also based on Debian.
I love Cinnamon, it's my daily driver. Thankfully I've not had this issue! :) For me the issue is some icons not showing in the panel. The fix is to restart Cinnamon with Alt+Ctrl+Esc.
The system sounds settings in the taskbar work fine. They don't get turned off on reboot. But there are also extra sounds for opening apps such as web browsers and other apps that can also be enabled in Dconf Editor. They are the ones that keep getting turned off on restart or logout. It could be because they are part of Gnome Settings or G Settings and Cinnamon sometime blocks some settings from Gnome. For example some Gnome Themes such as Adwaita are blocked or disabled on the latest version of Cinnamon. Where as the notification sounds settings on the Cinnamon app that are not G Settings are part of Cinnamon. So maybe that's why the other events sounds keep on getting turned off. Because they were part of Gnome in the past. As we know that Cinnamon used to depend on Gnome Flashback to run but does not now. Or it could be a Linux Mint thing since although it is Debian, the Cinnamon Desktop is made by Linux Mint. I did read in their latest blog that Mint are disabling some themes and features from Gnome. So maybe this is one of them. I don't know this is just a guess but this seems to fix the problem. If you want extra event sounds which are nice to have.
The best way is to boot a live CD or USB of a Linux operating system such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Then see if everything such as the network and other drivers are working. You can actuality use Linux Mint in live CD or USB, and if everything is working then you can just install. All of my laptops came with Windows 10 or 11 when I bought them. They now all run Linux.
Did you recently delete the video of you talking kind of quietly with some kids running around in the background? I really liked that video, and I can't find it anymore.
@@tangotanjomusic Yes I did remove some very old videos. Some of those were made in an Internet cafe that was before I got my own laptop. That's why the sound was not very good. In an Internet cafe there are other people there. That's why I spoke quietly in those videos.
hallo i an using debian for a long time but in sum version i sow is showing "os build id" on gnome satting do you know what is it and older versions of debian dosnot have it
No I don't. I have never seen that on Debian or Linux Mint. If you want to which version you are running you should be able to find that in System Information which is in the Control Center on Both Cinnamon, Gnome and other desktops. You could also install Fastfetch which if you type Fastfetch in the terminal. It will tell you what OS you are running as well as other information.
The problem and the fix. It's Andrea with another video for us. Cheerio!
I always love your video, clear and concise as always :)
Thanks Andrea!
And thanks for testing Debian Trixie for us! :-)

Great video!
I also use debian13+cinnamon and use the 6.6.63 LTS kernel compiled by myself
How to go from Windows to Linux on a PC with Windows?

I think you were talking about Flock browser
