#mint cinnamon

[autisticaboutisekai]

Ok so i think mint cinnamon might actually just work better then lubunto on my "new" (old as fuck shitbox) computer

[snarp]

"cinnamon-settings keyboard" has "Take a screenshot of a window" set to "Alt+Print" by default:

This shortcut works as expected (takes a screenshot of the focused window) - I used it to take these screenshots.

But the Cinnamon Keyboard settings tool's "Pick new accelerator" operation itself can't correctly identify "Alt+Print" for what it is: it always detects it as "Alt_R" or "Alt_L" depending on whether I hit the right-hand or left-hand Alt key:

(This happens regardless of which keyboard I use.)

EDIT: Later findings: the GUI tool does detect 'Alt' as 'Alt' when you're hitting 'Alt+F2', 'Alt+F', 'Alt+Insert', and many other key combinations… But on its own, or in combination with 'Print' specifically, it is detected only as 'Alt_R' or 'Alt_L', and the 'Print' left out. Why

Switching to Linux 🐧

Over the past couple years Windows 10 has been giving me progressively more asinine problems to deal with, from desktop issues and bloatware, to automatically installing out of date drivers to replace the ones I've manually installed.

Before you ask, I attempted using Windows 11 when it came out and I refuse to acknowledge its existence after the hell it put me through.

Most recently Windows 10 has seemingly made a point of making ASIO and all audio devices and software I use functionally useless, causing ridiculous amounts of crackling audio. No rollbacks fixed it, no re-installs fixed it, not even Reloading Windows fixed it. The reason for using ASIO is that Windows default audio protocol, WDM, has too much latency for live real-time use. This issue not only makes things like live-streaming basically impossible but it also outright made my Digital Audio Workstation and Video Editing Software incapable of processing audio for longer than a second without hanging. Both Mixcraft and DaVinci Resolve became useless on Windows 10, and OBS was barely holding it together. When I tell you I did everything to resolve this, I mean I spent an entire Month troubleshooting this. The only solution I could find was to abandon Windows all together.

I've been meaning to switch my Setup to Mint Cinnamon for a while as I've been testing it out in Virtual box for a year or so, and after this nonsense I got a new NMVe basically immediately to run Mint on, and after switching properly I have to say I'm likely to never use Windows as my Host OS again. And yes I tested Windows on the NMVe. The issue persisted there aswell. And testing Mint via Virtual Box on Windows with Hardware Exposed via PAE and AMD-V showed the issue was entirely on Windows.

For reference this is my current rig: Everything is the same as when using Windows 10

GPU: Nvidia RTX a4500 20gb

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600g

Ram: 16GB 3200mhz

DAC: PreSonus Audiobox iTwo

Capture Card: AverMedia HD Mini GC311

The Results:

Not only does Mint Cinnamon not have any of the issues I've had with Windows over the past Decade, which still persist to this day, but literally every single device I have just works.

Basically everything is Plug-n-Play with <20ms of latency on the Capture Card, which on Windows had a minimum of 600ms delay using drivers required for the card to even be detected. My Audio interface also works even better than before, with neither my DAC or Capture Card requiring manual driver installs, as their protocols are Native to the Linux Kernel.

Proton lets you play any Windows game on Steam that doesn't have explicit Linux Support, with Wine available for desktop applications. Both run better than a Native Windows install due to Mints lack of Bloatware.

Windows 10 has so much built-in Overhead that Mint can Emulate it through Virtual Box faster than if Win10 were the Host OS.

In Short: Fuck Windows. :) Also this is how my desktop looks currently:

You can make custom start menus. :)

finding an operating system to replace windows 10 (since it’s losing support) has been a fucking nightmare. i’m not using windows 11 cause they’re doing that bullshit “we own your computer actually” thing. i tried mint cinnamon but my computer would start freezing (often to the point of needing a restart) after only like an hour of use. i tried zorinOS but it somehow made my computer even slower?? i was tempted to try reactOS because i heard it can run windows stuff but then i learned it’s been in beta for 30 years despite apparently being actively worked on? and when i looked into people who have it they were all talking about constant blue screens.

im honestly at a fucking loss man. i think what im especially frustrated about is that linux mint cinnamon improved the performance for both my and my partners’ laptops, but the second it goes on my actual desktop computer it makes everything freeze for some reason? make it make sense.

Im calling out to the Linux gods (meaning the linux mint users on tumblr that may know since I know you guys are legends), Im trying to update my Nvidia drivers on my old ass laptop after installing Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2 (most recent I believe) yesterday.

But I keep getting this error:

Error while installing package: installed nvidia-dkms-470 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10

Im kind of stuck. Ive restarted. Used the terminal to purge old drivers and then tried to reinstall. Ive managed to install the open souce ones that were also available as an option. But after some googling and trial and error I cant seem to find a solution. I know linux has some issues at times with Nvidia so that may just be it. But as I am not even 24 hours old into linux, Im not sure what else I should try.
