(Bonus for KDE fans: 18.3 is the last Mint release with an official KDE spin.) The release notes offer a workaround that might partially mitigate the problem, but for people who need to use Samba on a regular basis, they suggest sticking with Mint 18.3 (supported until April 2021) until the upstream problem is fixed. Apparently, Mint 19.x inherited a serious upstream Samba regression from Ubuntu 18.04. If so, I’m going to appreciate that, since my vision is declining with age and the Cinnamon release used in 19.1 dropped a lot of the more visible “window decoration” options in order to improve scalability on ultra-high-res displays.īut what I appreciated most was a more complete explanation, in 19.2’s release notes, of why I have been unable to connect to my Windows laptop using Samba. I believe I read on the Linux Mint Blog that they improved the contrast for buttons. I’m running Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon, and the new features and improvements in 19.2 look very worthwhile. Let the keyboard battles ensue! Into glory ride! If my demands are not met, I shall use my linux freedom-option to use another OS. Oh, and make CinnVIIStarkMenu default, the menu in Cinnamon is dumb, a mess, useless and fugly. When MATE is gone, focus on a SUPERMEGA MINIMAL install option, with just superbare necessities, No Firefox no effin VLC no blaa blaaa and frookin’ blaaa! A clean canvas. You already have XFCE that caters to the “old computer” needs. Trolling like a maniac here, if you already didn’t figure that out btw =) Here are my DEMANDS: Drop MATE, just drop it. I can counter that with: stop giving away BAD free stuff. “It’s free so shut up!” Yeah, that’s basically the only valid argument from your part. “Just don’t look at it all, ignore it” I’m not that kinda guy, it bothers me to no end that I don’t get to decide. “Just ignore all the pre-installed stuff, remove their icons” So, get a new house it comes with furniture you don’t like, drapes you hate and the walls are painted doodoo-brown. FREEDOM!” Yeah, have you ever removed all the things you don’t want/need from a Mint install? I have. “But the beauty of linux is that you can choose whatever you like. “What bloat?” = All the software Mint has decided I should use. It has lots of great and useful features but the amount of included bloat is staggering. If they would offer a truly minimal install, I would use Mint. Now You: Do you use Linux Mint or another Linux distribution? Cinnamon devices should use less RAM and feel more responsive when used, and all desktop environments benefit from new update manager and software manager features.
