The purpose of Linux Mint is to produce a modern, elegant and comfortable operating system which is both powerful and easy to use. Download. What's New. Certified. Similar to 6. Linux Mint w/ Cinnamon 64-bit Linux Mint w/ Cinnamon 32-bit Linux Mint w/ MATE 64-bit Linux Mint w/ MATE 32-bit Linux Mint w/ Xfce 64-bit Linux Mint w/ Xfce 32-bit. Started in 2006, Linux Mint is now the 4th most widely used home operating system behind Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS and Canonical's Ubuntu. Some of the reasons for the success of Linux Mint are: It works out of the box, with full multimedia support and is extremely easy to use. It's both free of cost and open source. It's community-driven. Users are encouraged to send feedback to the project so that their ideas can be used to improve Linux Mint. Based on Debian and Ubuntu, it provides about 30,000 packages and one of the best software managers. It's safe and reliable. Thanks to a conservative approach to software updates, a unique Update Manager and the robustness of its Linux architecture, Linux Mint requires very little maintenance (no regressions, no antivirus, no anti-spyware. etc). If you are interested in giving Linux Mint a try on your current computer without running any risk, please check out our Guide: Running Linux From a USB Drive As a Virtual Machine or Bootable Disk. Requirements. 64-bit architecture. Although both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Linux Mint 19.3 are supported until April 2023, new releases of Linux Mint, including 20, are only available in 64-bit. To upgrade to Linux Mint 20 you need to be running the 64-bit version of Linux Mint 19.3. To check which version you’re running type: dpkg --print-architecture If it says amd64 you can upgrade to Linux Mint 20. If it says i386, it means you’re using the 32-bit version. In this case you cannot upgrade and you need to stick with Linux Mint 19.3. What's New: Linux Mint 20.2 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2025. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable. Update Manager. Cinnamon updates. The Update Manager now supports Cinnamon spice updates (i.e. updates for applets, desklets, themes and extensions). Although they're technically different than APT updates, they are presented to you in a very similar manner. You can see the same kind of information for them, and enjoy the same features as you did already, such as the ability to blacklist a particular spice or a version of a spice. You can also automate spice updates. In automatic mode spices are upgraded shortly after you log in and the desktop environment then gets refreshed. This is barely visible (Cinnamon restarts itself seamlessly, you just see the mouse cursor get reset on the screen when this happens) and a notification pops up to show you what was upgraded. Automated Cinnamon Spice updates. Notifications. In the past, available updates were simply indicated by a little orange dot on the Update Manager's icon in the system tray and could go unnoticed for long periods of time. In Linux Mint 20.2 the Update Manager is now able to remember how long each update has been available for, how many days the computer was ON during that time and assess whether or not a notification would be welcome to remind you of available updates. Updates notification. This new notification feature was designed to add comfort to the user experience, not remove any, so making sure it was a nice addition and not an annoying distraction was key. The way this is handled in other operating systems such as Windows or Mac for instance was an example Linux Mint did not want to follow. For the notification to be welcomed and welcomed again it needs to happen for a reason, to be easy to dismiss if your are busy, to not come back constantly and to not come back at all for a long while after you apply the updates. When a notification is dismissed it is snoozed for 2 days. When updates are applied it goes away for a long time. The conditions for the notification to be shown in the first place are configurable. Notification preferences. By default, the Update Manager shows a notification if a particular update has been available for more than 7 logged-in days or if it's older than 15 calendar days. These values can be configured all the way down to 2 days or all the way up to 3 months. By default the Update Manager also only counts security and kernel updates as being relevant for notifications but you can change that in the preferences. The last setting is a grace period. If any update has been applied on your computer in the last 30 days, whether it's via the Update Manager or via another APT software, no notifications will be shown. On computers where updates are not wanted and 3 months is not enough there's no need to keep the Update Manager running in the background and it can be disabled entirely. Other improvements. The Update Manager handles the automation of Flatpak updates. This was previously located in "Startup Applications". Automated Flatpak updates. Unused Flatpak runtimes are automatically removed when this option is active. The power source of the computer is now checked prior to the launch of automated updates to ensure they do not run when the computer is on battery. Bulk File Renamer. A new application was implemented to add the ability to bulk rename files. This new application is called Bulky and it is installed by default in Linux Mint 20.2. You can launch it from the application menu and then select files, or just select multiple files in your file manager, right-click and choose "Rename. ". Sticky Notes. Sticky Notes replaces GNote as the default application for taking notes. Similar to GNote, Sticky is developed in GTK3, supports HiDPI and integrates very well in the desktop environment. In addition to the features which were present in GNote, Sticky also lets you place the notes on the desktop and quickly access them from the icon tray. Notes can be of different colors and the text inside of them can be formatted. Sticky also features a backup mechanism and can import your GNote notes. Warpinator. With Warpinator you could already transfer files from computer to computer across the local network but thanks to a new Android app you can now also do so with your phone and tablet. To install Warpinator on your Android device simply search for it in the play store, or use the link below: The latest version of Warpinator features the ability to select which network interface you want to use. If you are connected to multiple interfaces (Wireless + ethernet for instance) this allows you to select which network you want to share files on. Nvidia Optimus. Linux Mint 20 features improved support for Nvidia Optimus. The NVIDIA Prime applet now shows your GPU renderer and you can select which card to switch to straight from its menu. The NVIDIA "On-Demand" profile is also now fully supported. When you run in that mode, it is your Intel card which renders the session and a menu option is available to let you offload a particular application to your NVIDIA card. Select an application in the menu, right-click and select "Run with NVIDIA GPU". It’s that simple. From the command-line, two new commands are available to offload to GLX or to Vulkan: nvidia-optimus-offload-glx nvidia-optimus-offload-vulkan To boost compatibility and make it easier to boot Linux Mint 20 in live mode without NVIDIA drivers, "nomodeset" was also added to the "Compatibility Mode". Tray. XAppStatusIcon received the ability to handle mouse wheel scrolling events and a new function similar to gtk_menu_popup() which makes it even easier than before to port applications from GtkStatusIcon. In all editions (Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce) many of the tray icons were harmonized, given symbolic icons and HiDPI support. Blueberry, mintupdate, mintreport, nm-applet, mate-power-manager, mate-media, redshift, rhythmbox all use XAppStatusIcon and give the tray a consistent look in Mint 20. Cinnamon 4.6. The performance of the Nemo file manager was improved. The new version tries to prioritize content and navigation and to delay thumbnails as much as possible. As a result, the content of directories shows up with generic icons before the thumbnails are rendered, but the improvement in performance is quite noticeable. This also has a positive impact on performance in cases of heavy I/O and slow HDDS, such as when moving videos to external devices. In the Display Settings, it is now possible to set the refresh rate. Cinnamon 4.6 also introduces fractional scaling. Until now your scaling was either 100% (normal mode) or 200% (HiDPI mode) and it was the same for all your monitors. With Cinnamon 4.6 each monitor can have a different scaling and it can be set to values in between 100% and 200%. In normal mode the resolution you set is the resolution you see. In HiDPI, at 200% scaling, the screen is showing twice the pixel density so everything looks sharper, but the resolution you see on the screen is only half the resolution of your monitor.

    http://www.tuxinfo.com.ar/ EDITORIAL Este mes podemos decir que es un mes en donde el mundo libre pasó a tener una gran posición entre los usuarios convencionales de dispositivos. ¿Por qué digo dispositivos? Utilizo esa palabra ya que hay un gran avance en terminales móviles en todo el mundo ya que quizás muchas personas en el mundo no tengan una PC propia pero si un teléfono móvil. Y la mayoría de los móviles están utilizando de fondo tecnología libre, llamemos la Symbian, Maemo o Android. Si alguna persona hace algunos años me lo habría contado, la verdad es que no terminaría de creerle. Hay muchas personas dueñas de móviles de media y alta gamma que cuentan con sistemas libres, y si nos fijamos de forma más específica podemos decir que los equipos más codiciados de todo el mundo están empezando a utilizar Android, y dejando de usar Windows Mobile por muchas razones. La misma empresa Nokia está pensando en el 2012 utilizar el sistema operativo Maemo (basado directamente en un kernel Linux) para reemplazar a Symbian y así poder "exprimir" más al hardware. Con lo que cierro diciéndoles que el futuro desde mi punto de vista está en los sistemas abiertos, la venta de servicios, la nube y todo lo relacionado a la libertad. Esperamos sus comentarios, sus propuestas de los temas que desean que incluyamos en los próximos números a nuestra casilla de mail ([email protected]). Saludos a todos y recuerden pasar la Voz!!!.

  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS – Das Umfassende Handbuch
    Vorwort Vorwort »Back to the roots« Mit der diesem Buch zugrunde liegenden Version 18.04 LTS werden einige fundamentale Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre aufgegeben, und es hat zum ersten Mal in der 14-jährigen Geschichte von Ubuntu eine umfangreiche Konsolidierung stattgefunden. Ubuntu hat sich in mancher Hinsicht auf seine Wurzeln besonnen. Dies geschah nicht ganz freiwillig, son- dern war eine Reaktion auf das Scheitern bezüglich der vorher eingeschlagenen Ausrichtung. Canonical, die Firma hinter Ubuntu, wollte das Betriebssystem übergreifend auf Mobilsys- teme wie Smartphones und Tablets erweitern. Dieses Vorhaben ist krachend gescheitert, da der Markt diese Entwicklung schlichtweg nicht akzeptierte. Technische Entwicklungen und Sonderwege, die zum Erreichen dieses Ziels gestartet worden waren, wurden 2017 eingestellt. Das sichtbarste Zeichen dieser Veränderung ist sicherlich die erneute Annäherung an die GNOME-Entwickler und die erneute Integration von deren Desktop-Umgebung. Sie sehen, Ubuntu hat mit der aktuellen Version mal wieder einen radikalen Wandel voll- zogen. Daher wurde auch dieses Buch in seiner neuesten Auflage grundlegend überarbeitet und neu strukturiert. Verbreitung Ubuntu hat es wie kein zweites GNU/Linux-Betriebssystem geschafft, derart viele Nutzer von zum Beispiel Windows zu einem Umstieg zu bewegen. Über die genauen Zahlen gibt es kein gesichertes Wissen, aber Canonical geht aufgrund der Downloadzahlen von inzwi- schen mehreren hundert Millionen Nutzern aus, die das System auf Notebooks, PCs, Servern und in virtuellen Maschinen nutzen. Die indirekte Nutzung von Ubuntu ist teilweise noch beeindruckender. So vertrauen viele große Dienste im Internet im Hintergrund auf dieses Betriebssystem, zum Beispiel Dropbox, Instagram, Netflix, Snapchat, Pinterest und sogar Wikipedia. Selbst abseits des Internets begegnet Ihnen Ubuntu.

  • The Ubuntu Distribution Simplifies Linux by Providing a Sensible
    Ubuntu Hacks By Bill Childers, Jonathan Oxer, Kyle Rankin ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: June 2006 Print ISBN-10: 0-596-52720-9 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-59-652720-4 Pages: 447 Table of Contents | Index The Ubuntu distribution simplifies Linux by providing a sensible collection of applications, an easy- to-use package manager, and lots of fine-tuning, which make it possibly the best Linux for desktops and laptops. Readers of both Linux Journal and TUX Magazine confirmed this by voting Ubuntu as the best Linux distribution in each publication's 2005 Readers Choice Awards. None of that simplification, however, makes Ubuntu any less fun if you're a hacker or a power user. Like all books in the "Hacks" series, Ubuntu Hacks includes 100 quick tips and tricks for all users of all technical levels. Beginners will appreciate the installation advice and tips on getting the most out of the free applications packaged with Ubuntu, while intermediate and advanced readers will learn the ins-and-outs of power management, wireless roaming, 3D video acceleration, server configuration, and much more.
