omg ty so much i didnt have to press 1 for english.. error ... all u had to do was move the choices in the start install box. omg iam out this is painful
Thank you for the in depth coverage of this distro. It's hard to find content that's more than 20 minutes and only shows the wallpapers and themes, etc..! Keep up the good work. 😊
Started using LMDE 5 a month ago on a ThinkPad x260 I’m dedicating to Japanese language study. Have had an absolutely fantastic time with it, and it came in really handy for a work emergency where a client needed us to write some embedded Linux software for them. Sadly, I probably can’t upgrade to LMDE 6 until the project is completed in a few weeks, but I’ll just live vicariously through your video. Love the channel and keep up the good work!
52:25 This is the thing I really like about Mint is that you can fully changes how your desk top looks. I like the dark themes with either blue or green accents.
I just ordered a 1TB SSD external drive to copy important files from my Mint 20.3 daily driver. The SSD should be here tomorrow, and once I get things copied over, I'll be fully installing LMDE 6, which I currently have running on my secondary desktop. Your video had a plethora of good tips, some I wasn't even aware of. Not only did I subscribe to your channel, I bookmarked this video for future reference. Thanks!!
I am subscribed and I watched this. I am a Linux Mint Cinnamon admin and I found it quite enjoyable and informative. Keep up the good stuff, man. I will watch. It is always a learning experience. I look forward to that. Thanks for sharing.
Regarding the lack of an output when using the "chmod" command (31:25). What was stated is correct with the command as it was entered. If an output is desired then the "chmod" command can be slightly changed so an output takes place after it runs to show the user exactly what permissions were changed. For an output ONLY IF a permission change takes place, use the "-c" (or "--changes") option. In this case the output will (1) report the file name that was changed and (2) what the permissions were before and after the change, shown in both numeric and symbolic notations. For example "mode of '' changed from 0600 (rw-------) to 0644 (rw-r--r--)" will be the output when using chmod to change permissions from a file with 600 permissions to 644 (or 0600 and 0644 - the leading zero is not needed because an omitted leading zero defaults to zero). Note that if no change takes place then there will be no output. The -v (verbose) option is similar (to the -c option) except it will output a result for a file regardless of a change taking place or not, or as the chmod man page states, "output a diagnostic for every file processed".
I always liked to listen & watch JC Vids. This is a quite special and it’s recent & very relevant. I absolutely loved it & bookmarked it for reference. There are quite a few gems but I appreciated creation and configuration of swap file. Didn’t know that Debian reserves 5 GiB of swap space y default. Now I’ve to fix my Debian 12 Bookworm install 😢
You are welcome, Mr. Joe!!! Had you used the Beta, there would not have been any measurable changes between Beta and Live. I have been running the Beta (now Live) on several machines. During the entire Beta Period, there were very few updates. The main updates were to the cosmetics and Nemo. That's it!
No worries Joe. I have sat here and watched full length videos of you doing things that my own grams warned me bout🤣 just because you're a friendly voice amongst the fray.
If you feel adventurous, you could install Xfce directly from the Debian repositories. It would require a bit of tweaking but you could get it going. Just choose Xfce at the log in window... :)
I personally think then you migjt as well go back to ubunto mint with debian. MY lmde 5 is lightening fast and has cinnamon and its old core 2 due laptop 2007 model 4 gigs ram. It flies with debian based mint. Slow like a snail on Normal mint (ubuntu )😊
Wasn't there a old commercial that went something like "You got Linux Mint on my Debian!".... "You got Debian on my Linux Mint!" Tries it out... "Tastes Great"!!!!! 🤣
Thank you for enabling CC on your RU-vid videos. I am hearing impaired, and often have to rely on CC to be able to follow videos. Is there a way you could enable CC for your online video course?? I have the latest LMDE 6 cinnamon and Rufus downloaded, as of 5/12/24. Using Rufus to make a bootable USB drive for LMDE 6, should I format the drive to FAT32, or NTFS???
This may help... Once you've made the VM, before you start it, right click on it and open the "Settings" menu. Then in the Settings window, go onto User Interface. Using the drop-down menu, set Visual State to "Scaled" That may make the initial screen/image decently large from the get go until you can manually play with display settings / resolution / scaling in the OS.
Thank you, lots of useful tips. I'm trying to install LMDE6 on my Dell 5680 laptop, everything works fine except for the second NVME drive. After installation I can see the second drive is there, but it's not mounted. When I mount it, I can't use it because I'm not the owner. I want to use the second drive for my snapshots, so having it mounted and usable is important. Is there a way to install LMDE6 so it mounts both drives and gives me ownership at startup? Or is this a setting in the Dell UEFI that I need to change?
The new LMDE 6 does not use Pulse Audio, and I am get distortion and out of sync audio. I installed Pulse and have to start it from the command line at each startup. I am running on real metal . You can check Pulse settings with "pacmd list-sinks | grep sample"
Looks nice. I downloaded the ISO and put it on a flash drive with Ventoy. Now I need to pick a video card for the desktop computer I want to install it on. To not show the terminal menu, would that be done by deselecting it under the terminal menu preferences?
Yes, Linux Mint. Does a lot of the heavy lifting of setup for you. Linux Mint is a way more user friendly system than plain Debian. and it's easy to find software you need and keep it up to date as well. :)
I've heard good things about QEMU but I have loved Virtualbox for the past 8 years. Nothing wrong with using what you like. I've been using Debian 12 and Fedora 39 lately. Fedora is my daily driver and Debian sits where I don't use it a whole lot. I almost wonder if LMDE is more usable than Debian proper so I'll have to look into that.
I have a question regarding LMDE6 installation. I used LMDE5 before it and the installation had a driver manager. I clicked 1 button and it installed all the drivers for all my devices automatically. However this option (which was in the Lets begin screen) is now gone and I have no idea how to install the drivers. Can you tell me how to do it?
Copy everything in your home directory, install LMDE and the put it all back. You'll have to re-install your software but all your settings will stay the same. :)
111C34, but I guess 111C31 is close enough. =P I appreciate the videos Joe. I'm pushing towards Linux as Windows 7 gets smaller in the rear view mirror. The only Windows 10 box I have is my main gaming rig....and it's good to see Valve pushing hard towards Linux gaming.
I saw the same error. The Terminal background color is 111C34 (1:02:34) and he entered 111C31 (1:03:31). As the saying goes, "Memory is the first thing to go".
I had the same dilemma: Wanted to get away from Windows but still needed to occasionally reference a 12GB Outlook .pst file. Got a new laptop, extracted the W11 key and loaded Linux Mint 21.1 as the only OS - NOT dual boot. Then, using VirtualBox (superb) I ran up W11 as a VM. Installed Office so that I have access to 20+ years of emails. I've just upgraded to 21.2 with no issues. I like the idea of LMDE and will most likely start that as a VM before (maybe) making it my daily driver in place of 21.2.
Since you’re using a virtual machine, have you ever thought of adding the MX Linux repos to LMDE or also viceversa by adding the LMDE repos to MX Linux. It’d be awesome if the two would join forces🙌🏼
WHERE can you get a "BOOTABLE" LMDE 6 ?? I can get Mint and others easily. Cannot get a bootable LMDE 6. I go to a site that says download "Bootable" LMDE 6. It downloads LMDE 6. When I place the USB drive in computer it does nothing.
Tried this one on my Ryzen 9 5950x processor with an AMD 6800xt card and it does not go to the gui. It seems as though the newer debian version is needed to get the amd patches. So I installed mint 21.2 as it uses the new ubuntu with the amd64 microcode. Just an FYI for all you team red owners out there.
Any users of LMDE 6 on real hardware that also uses LizardByte's Sunshine Streamer app with an nVidia graphics card? I got nVidia drivers successfully installed (using Synaptic), but Sunshine streamer doesn't find my RTX-3080's encoders, so it falls back to its H.264 software encoder.

I switched from Win 11 to the Ubuntu based Linuxmint 20.3. This was OK, but not quite OK ... minor incompatibilities. The I switched to LMDE 6, and now use it as my daily driver, both on my old HP desktop, and on my Lenovo laptop. Just repartitioned the drive to leave a small space for Win 11 .... just in case. Hardly ever look at Windows these days.
I wish you talk to the huge crowd out there outside of Linux, who are interested in trying it but not with the Linux insider "virtual box" and "chmod" whatever chat. I am trying to switch from WIndows but this just makes it more complicated for me.
There's a learning curve with anything new. When you come across something you don't understand, stop and go look it up. This isn't something you can learn in a day or two. It's a journey. :)
I've always thought that Debian comes with a root account unlocked because Debian is meant for users who know what that are doing, linux mint users not necessarily.
