Linux Mint Ambassadors tumblr
Ambassadors are Linux Mint users who communicate with their friends about the advantages of using Linux Mint. This project is already working on some other Linux distributions and has been very effective in order to make known Linux distributions. This project is also very functional in Free Software Events and Universities, where local ambassadors support FOSS events in their communities. This work is voluntary and driven by the desire to make free software more and more encouraged. (2012-present) — https://linuxmintambassadors.tumblr.com/

PC current OS is Zorin. I´m trying to distro hop to Ubuntu. However, the bootloader won´t start. I tried both rebooting the pc and turning it off. I tried f10, f11 and f12 several times, none of them work.

I’m not a programmer and only use my laptop for web browing, media consumption, and working on documents. Is there any point in me going through 7 hour tutorials on YouTube on how to master the Linux terminal? Is there anything I should learn about Linux that can make my life easier?
Distro: Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I tried installing Pop!_OS on my machine from USB the other day and for some reason it wasn’t able to install and my USB drive got stuck in the RAW format. I’m unable to format it using any of the Windows 10 formatting tools (including creating and formatting the drive as a new partition).
Does anyone have any experience with this or any tools on how to fix this?
Thanks!

How can I add a random app or file to the panel in Mint? I’ve been using Linux Mint for a while now, and it still escapes me. I can add applets or even new panels, but I cannot launch an app or file that is not already “part of the menu” or grabbed from the software manager.
It needs to be noted that a new “Create a new launcher here” option has finally been added to the desktop itself, so that’s definitely a step in the right direction.

What makes me want to write this out at first are the Package Managers. Right now I’m testing out Windows 11, just for fun. And using Chocolatey is just WONDERFUL, it made Windows just that little bit more tolerable, I installed my Wacom drivers, Internet Browser, everything. And all that comes from when I started using Linux about 6 months ago.
And that extends to everything on my computer, I miss my terminal, my .config files and all sorts of odds and ends that I have found using Linux, because it’s just simpler. Everything works as you expect it to, and if it doesn’t there is always a way to change it. And I love coming back to Windows even if only for a moment, to remind me how much more powerful my computers can be, whatever the OS, whatever the interface I’m using, its so wonderful the engineering an history that comes with all of the machines we interface with everyday, I love it.
I feel like it goes to the whole Unix way of doing things… Maybe? Ever since I started on Linux, I went to BSDs, many distros, Windows XP bc… yes, why not, and even Plan 9 from Bell Labs. Bc all that history just fascinates me, and the way IT interfaces with us is just so intriguing.
What else should I explore in the world of Operating Systems? Hell maybe I should make one, one day. How cool it is to be around here.

So I signed up for an accelerated college class. (CNT1015) Linux+ & LPIC-1 certification.
saw the syllabus today and became a bus converted, not so much the content but the amount of time, and managing with my other 3 classes. Therefore realistically for one with ZERO Linux background, is 7 weeks reasonable, or shall I drop before penalty? The book we’re using is Linux+ and LPIC-1 Guide to Linux Certificationhttps://www.google.com/search?q=linux%2B+and+lpic+1&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari
All feedback welcomed, again not concerned with it being a new area for me but more so is it reasonably graspable in a short manner with no prior experience. 7 weeks time frame.

Xargs is the command line that all Linux users must learn. In my option, it’s the best command! It helps our productivity doing complex tasks quickly. I can’t leave without it.

As progressive web apps. Because GIMP failry still lacks stuff and Darktable is simply not Lightroom.
Lightroom online is fairly ok an similar to Lightroom CC (not Classic) and now Photoshop and Illustrator will get barebone web extensions as well.
The main issue with full Adobe web app support is processing power, but hopefully they’ll find a way to pass it to the host machine and not just their servers.
I’m saying this because I’ve been alternatively using and double booting windows and debian-based distros since I was 14 and been waiting for Photoshop on linux since then. I’m 28 now. And even a Creative Cloud paying user because it’s quite nice. And I gave up on the hope Adobe will provide native Linux support while the only non-Windows OS they support is MacOS.
[link] [comments] via Linux, GNU/Linux, free software… - What's your view on the future of Linux desktop? (2021/10/27 00:31)What's your view on the future of Linux desktop?:submitted by /u/n988
I do realise that Linux is dominant in the server space, but what I’m getting increasingly paranoid about is the future of Linux on the desktop. I read many in-depth articles, writeups and videos (here’s an example of a shorter write-up) and saw that Linux desktop has many significant flaws, so I’m feeling pretty pessimistic. I really want Linux desktop to succeed, and I want to use it - sooner or later I’ll have to, since Windows is getting worse with each release after Windows 7 which was the best release of Windows to me.
So, I thought I’d ask you knowledgeable people - what are your views and thoughts on the future of the Linux desktop? Do you think it’ll eventually gain more traction and increasingly become a more and more viable daily desktop OS, or do you think it’ll be stuck as a niche with single digit market share?

I’ve been told that’s the name of what I want to do. A few days ago I received an old computer with zorin in it. I tested all I could, now I’d like to try other distros. My question is: can I install Ubuntu from zorin? I’ve watched some videos on how to install ubuntu from windows 10, is the process the same?

Hi my IdeaPad 330s-15ARR won’t boot Linux no more after changing motherboard. First board died and I purchased a new board and replaced it. I’ve tried USB booting into Linux (Arch, Ubuntu & Debian) but they all freeze and never boots up. I’ve ran quite a number of Linux distros on the original motherboard that came with the laptop but this replacement none boots. I have the latest BIOS firmware installed. Windows OS/WinPE boots without any problems. Image of error is below.
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
