Linux Mint Software Manager Updates

• Monthly bulletin from Mint stresses that discussions with Gnome developers have been constructive. That is why I really like Mint: a policy of no drama, get things working smoothly, let's all be calm and get on with our lives. Which can include pretty firm decisions, like no Snaps, and dropping KDE. But not making a song and dance about it.

• I've been using GNU/Linux in some fashion or another on and of for a period of 20 + years. I started my Linux journey back when you had to use the b43fw-package on distributions like Debian and the earlier variations of Red Hat Linux.

• Since you mentioned Mint to Jumpdrive maybe you can answer my question. I have much success setting up Mint on Jumpdrive. I simply remove all other media except the Install and the Install target, making sure the target is being read as SDA to be safe. Then I clone my nice customized Mint to all my laptops. Problem.: Warpinator will only work on think the laptop I set it up on. No matter if I uninstall Warpinator with terminal or GUI it never seems to totally lose all settings. So when I reinstall it still does not work on the other laptops. Will it make a big difference if I wait and set up Warpinator on each laptop when new Mint comes out? Or you have other solutions? Thanks. Sorry so long.

• First started in Linux full time on Mint back in 2015. I've distro hopped a lot since, but always went through seasons of getting back on Mint. I finally decided I'm just gonna park it here on Mint for my daily driver, and to solidify that decision I became a patron of the Mint project at $5 a month. Hard to hop away from a distro when you're contributing to it. I HIGHLY recommend people start funding their daily drivers. It's a cup of coffee per month.

• Sir, could you do (or have you done) a segment visiting the present role of a Linux in AI? AI interactive gaming would be MY primary interest, but the topic as a whole would be forward-looking.

• Most packages in the Ubuntu repos are not maintained by upstream developers.

  This is the same as on Flathub.

  So instead of more secure unverified Flatpaks, you get unverified system packages that are completely unrestricted

• Mint Community and help forum are great. I use Timeshift and mintbackup before trying out solutions from the forum. Hoping best for the devs. By the way, I remembered winepak before. Those are pre-configure Wine Bottles.

• if linux cleans up the terminology many will move. gobbledy gook to many

• Over the last few weeks some packages in LM updates have been VERY VERY slow to download. I've not updated to any new download server, but it has been annoying. Maybe it's just at my end but I feel like I'm doing a Window$ update now 🙁

• Upvote for bringing Driver manager for LMDE6. I love LMDE.

• I m enjoying lmde6 more than linux mint cinnamon ubuntu edition because lmde6 is lighter and while installing in virtual box, the install manager is super quick but in Lmue(linux mint ubuntu edition), the install manager takes like a minute and lags after every minute when i m selecting options. Also i really want Driver manager for LMDE6, its super hard to install Nvidia

• Fedora > Mint

• Very good. I do like that unverified software is hidden by default. Well done.

• I found Linux Mint when trying out distros, and then to find out it was maintained by a guy named Clem (also my name), and my choice was cemented. Doesn't hurt that it's a really decent distro.

• I use LMDE btw 😀
  Yesterday I installed Gnome on it and it feels good enough to use it 🙂

• I love Mint, but could you make, please, a tutorial of how to install Plasma 6 in this distro?

• I always update the Mint (Plasma) that i have on my laptop trought the terminal, can't go wrong.

• Nemo has a bug that no one has noticed, when you download several files from Outlook email, they are downloaded compressed. When you unzip them, Nemo does not show the thumbnails. I was able to reproduce the error on several computers. I invite you to do it and report it. I don't know how to do it.

• I use mint because it flagships cinnamon.

• I've been using Linux distros for about sixteen years now and I'm now using Linux Mint to replace Windows 11 on my new laptop. I really like how everything works out of the box. Both newbies and experts alike will enjoy using it.

• Thanks Tom, always forget to check mints site.

• Mint is my Main Distro,i distrohoped a lot but Mint is the Safe Harbor…..

• Mint was my first linux distro, 5 years ago. After switching to linux, i had 2 years of massive distro hopping, and then i came back to mint … and i'll stay here. Love the channel. Keep it up

• It's great that Mint's Software Manager is being made faster and more informative. It has been crying out for these improvements. I still find Flatpak 'verified' status confusing as to its security implications though. Will existing installations of third-party-packaged Flatpaks on Mint be retrospectively flagged as a 'huge security risk' (to quote the wording in the upgraded Software Manager)?

• When will Linux Mint be able to share a folder between Linux Mint PCs without jumping through samba or other crazy setups. I Love Linux but my only problem is I can't seem to share files easily between my two PCs. I think this is the one thing holding Linux back for a lot of users…. maybe? LOL. at least me. I don't want windows anymore!!!!

• Are you using the normal LM or Edge edition?

• Thanks for your work!
