Customizing Cinnamon: playing with Linux Mint on a livestream!
I just reinstalled Linux Mint on a laptop for fun. Let’s play with making Cinnamon look different than default!

18:46 to 18:58 Taking OBS to new level 😂
I'm currently running Kubuntu as my main, but thinking of going back to Mint. Not sure. Also have a NAS running Ubuntu which i'm not a big fan of at all now. It used to be good but it seems so many features have gone.
Thanks for reminding me about Cake, not listened to them since mp3 became a thing in the 90s. Awesome 🙂
at 26.10 you have panel height
I’m really excited for what this stream is setting up.
I’ve wanted to move to Linux for years but what if my sound or wifi or Bluetooth drivers don’t work? I work in IT and don’t want to tinker heaps at home
The taskbar at the bottom isn't visible. Thanks for the tour.
Pop OS runs so well on my old Thinkpad. P52S
For the dock like panels, I have set the panel to transparent using the extension.
Veronica sounds like my school teacher; nice and calm. Good to have someone so dedicated to show the new kids in class how they can use Linux without feeling like they need to live in the same house as you. Linux with color and personality. Also let the new kids to get comfortable with the penguin before you let them dip into the deep sea of knowledge on Linux.
Microsoft is very out of touch in terms of what their customers actually want. They push all this crap nobody wants and now a lot of users are looking for alternatives.
Great video. 🎉
Veronica, explain the whole split home thing for people. I think — genuinely, I believe — having a separate home partition is going to help a lot of people out when it comes to comparmentalisation, and for a system low on disk space, letting home fill up before root can stop some I / O issues from full Ext4 parts occurring with root. As well, (not many people know this) people can use ln with a persistently-mounted NTFS partition using windows to symlink directories from there into $HOME.
This is the setup I had been using for all of my time using Linux with Windows PCs where I just treat the NTFS partition as the largest contiguous free space on my machine, which saves me from having to juggle two separate suites of directories at-once where I can instead just barrow things from the NTFS part Windows is on. It's honestly rather awesome.
Missed this as I was working, but watching now. Hoping to find something in my Mint I didn't know I could manipulate. 🙂 Edit: I am the weirdo who has the panel (autohide) on the left side. lol Also I use Plank, as invisible, and icon zoom, so it shows like the Mac dock icon on hover over.
"Hey Veronica [waving my arms about] you're really awesome!"
Easy on the sugar
You make it look so easy !
To cure any peripheral probs with Logitech stuff ….install Solaar.
Mint XFCE makes old potato laptops happy!

Try not to fall in love challenge
Enterprise was good. Fight me.
@VeronicaExplains, ¿serías tan amable de habilitar los subtítulos..?, felicitaciones por lo que haces y desde ya muchas gracias.
Un saludo
jellyfin video would be pretty cool yeah
piper has a lot of logitech items listed in their list, if that helps (piper remapper)
This year I started using Mint. I chose the LMDE 6 version because it comes with Pipewire by default. So far everything works fine and I haven't missed the Ubuntu base.
Praise be to the mom of Linux
A literal boomer trying to figure out how the most simple distro ever made works. I love it.
I'm a simple human-person. I see new Veronica Explains video, I watch it, like it, call all my friends and blackmail them to watch, like and subscribe.
How is she even more adorable and wholesome live? It's like if Daria just had a perfectly well adjusted twenties and just ended up being perfectly pleasant in every way. Like a unicorn / aunt / neighbor lady / just really cool chick.
