Lisa KalayjiDo folks have a fave Linux user guide (for just basic "getting the OS to work and keep working", not any other fancy tricks)? My understanding is that Mint is the best distro for end users with no interest in learning tech wizardry or command line shenanigans, but even Mint's user guide isn't really a manual that ordinary people could follow without doing a lot of searching and forum-crawling to make sense of things or figure out how to actually carry out the guide's instructions. I'm not going to be able to convince people to switch from Windows if they have to invest this much time and learn this much new stuff.<a href="https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mintupdate.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mintupdate.html</a><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a>

Bob Irving<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@mani2jeff" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mani2jeff</a> I actually kept it on the same schedule, added a new line, and it worked! I wasn 't sure if <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/rclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rclone</a> would create the new folder on Google Drive or not, but it did. So exciting, and thanks again! <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxmint</a>

Matt × 🇳🇴 🇺🇦If Linux is so good, how come they haven't released a Linux Millennium Edition yet? :pepe_drink: <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debian</a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubuntu</a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/linuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxMint</a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tech</a>

Bob IrvingOK, <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/rclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rclone</a> people. How do I add an additional directory to my copy command? In other words, adding Downloads to my Documents to copy to Google Drive. Got it working for Documents. Downloads is on the same directory level as Documents. Running <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxmint</a> 22.1 and rclone 1.69.1. TIA for any assistance you can offer!

TomIch würde mir gerne bei Mailbox.org einen Sieve-Filter für Emails von Google-Adressen einrichten. Praktisch so wie unter nachfolgendem Link beschrieben: <a href="https://www.kuketz-blog.de/mailbox-org-gmail-auto-responder/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.kuketz-blog.de/mailbox-org-gmail-auto-responder/</a> Jedoch finde ich keine Programme, um dies zu machen. Das von Mike erwähnte Addon für Thunderbird läuft unter meinem aktuellen Thunderbird nicht. Hat jemand einen Vorschlag wie ich unter <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LinuxMint</a> vorgehen könnte? Gerne weiterleiten 😇 <a href="https://bildung.social/@_DigitalWriter_" class="u-url mention">@_DigitalWriter_</a>

Cornelius FlynnAny <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> buffs had any joy getting Nuance Dragon Professional (PC) working? I know I can’t do anything about penguining Vellum (Mac only) but the Dragon dictation software is bloody good and both of us use it. I have an EU software solution for all my other writing needs in Papyrus 12, and got it working on <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxmint</a> using a flatpack <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/playonlinux4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playonlinux4</a>. I can keep a Winblows system running for dictation if I have to, but with the USA behaving strangely, I want to have as little reliance on Microsft as possible. They could feasibly just shut all the systems down, couldn’t they? Not panic, just trying to be prepared. Arthritic fingers work more slowly than dictation. <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microsoft</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Nuance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nuance</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/dictation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dictation</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writers</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a>

Is it just me or is the performance of the card worse (a lot worse) compared to when running the same machine under Windows 10 (machine is dual boot)?

It’s not as snazzy as my MacBook Pro but it’s definitely working great now. My only problem is Steam, which just won’t run my games on in spite of it being a Linux app.I have a 10-ish year old ASUS I’m going to try next and I found a 25-ish year old Compaq that I won’t try it on because the rubber/silicone? parts of the case are breaking down. 😝

Bob IrvingGot <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/rclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rclone</a> working to back up to Google Drive yesterday.

mangel<a href="https://tkz.one/@retrovulcano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@retrovulcano</a> nunca he entendido está distribución. Siendo una derivada de Ubuntu, a su vez derivada de Debian, me parece más interesante <a href="https://social.xip.es/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a> que no tiene ninguna restricción por la que necesites pagar (puedes donar si quieres apoyar el proyecto), tienes paquetes flatpack, tienda de aplicaciones, distintos escritorios, etc. Me parece muy buena distribución para empezar.
