It's great to see you pick up on the Linux/Computer related content again. I don't know if you are completely past your burn out from a few months ago, but seeing you have some motivation again brings a smile to my face. Keep up the good work!
Sweet vdieo👍 Nice to see more linux videos from you. I personally have used your video to get started in linux some of the best from back in the day. Thanks
Thanks Joe, just taught me to write down all I have learnt to disk instead of just to paper! So either a lot of scanning now or rewriting everything to text files. Great video I always look out for your new stuff -thank you.
Joe it is always fun to watch you videos. :-) You have been such a great help for folks and me. I want to say Thanks! My renewed journey of Linux started with your Videos. Yes I still love Mint and always will. Yes Nemo is the best file manager I have ever used... :-) Thanks for the video! The walk through memory lane because I remember some of the file's/content from the videos... LLAP
Welcome back Joe. I have used Linux Mint for several years, I think my first install of it was Linux Mint 15 when I was learning my way around Linux and trying out different Distros. For a while I was switching back and forth with mainly Ubuntu, and trying other Distros as well, including Arch, but I always came back to Mint and I have settled on Linux Mint Debian with the Cinnamon desktop. Why? I find it does all that I need and is as stable as a rock. It just works.
Really great video 👍🏻 A lot of information. Although I’m not a Linux user myself (I’m on macOS), but I enjoy geeking around in the command line and waiting videos like this, etc.
Larger fonts "somebody might be sitting in a tent somewhere on a tablet or fone" The guy who immediately comes to mind for me is NicoD from the NicoD's SBCs channel lol He goes cycle camping, though in his case, he'll probably take a Armbian SBC and watch stuff on a tiny screen. He even wears a tiny hat (I suspect he carries spare SBCs under it) But yeah, small fonts annoy me. YT creators tend to have huge monitors and plenty of resolution. But we all live in the real word and need to cope with small old fuzzy monitors, aging eyes and our grumpy attitudes haha. Great vid btw - especially the alsamixer settings save trick. This was a a big frustration of mine on strange or unfamiliar hardware, now no more!
Great to hear from you again, Joe. Hope you're doing well. I moved full time to Linux after Windows 11 was announced and would have rendered my Lenovo ThinkCentre M82 (a refurbished PC) obsolete. I love Linux Mint with KDE, just wonderful. Keep up the great work. :)
Please please im begging you to make more content about Linux Mint/Ubuntu.. You was the one that mostly helped me understand linux. You are mostly the reason im 100% linux, as you always captured the viewer with your unique greetings and salutation introduction.. I was a big fan of your EazzyLinux Show (please bring it back). Lastly why people still have a problem with the correct way to say MATE',why do you still get flack about it? (Sorry 2 part question) The "whoami" command, i laught with you .wow.
If you delete the root account password, booting the computer in recovery mode, and Linux will grant you free, unlimited access, to the system. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have a password on root. There is no way to stop the recovery mode from granting you root privledges if there is no password on it. I discovered this myself in Linux Mint 18. Locking the root account will not stop this process either. Only a password will.
Mint 20 xfce does seem pretty flawless. One problem I see that according to the internet has no solution is missing and broken fonts when upgrading from 19 to 20. It's quite simple to fix (why does nobody know this?) .. xfce customisations under fonts.. You need to have the font fields say "empty" (in .config/xfce).. anything else in there causes the boxes instead of font issue. Do this BEFORE doing the upgrade.
From my research for the same issue I have not found a easy way to do this. I have use Audacity & Kdenlive to do this. It requires editing the audio in Audacity, then using Kdenlive video editor removing the old audio section/file and adding the new edited audio and syncing it back to the move and rendering it. That process could take a long, long, long time depending on you computer. You use Audacity to normalize the audio from all the RU-vid videos I have watched as of late... Hope this helps a little. Good luck! LLAP
Listen to Leo Laporte on Windows Weekly Sept 15 2021, At 2:03:40 he says "Windows, a dystopian nightmare coming soon". Prepare for millions of perfectly good PCs to become obsoleted in the name of the almighty DOLLAR and no good reason otherwise. Stand up and say NO to this.

I don't recommend that for anyone other than experts attempt to compile their own software. It usually involves chasing down dependencies and sometimes it can break your system. The way I see is that if the developer can't take the time to put it in a .deb or .rpm package than I don't need their stuff in the first place.
Joe: "I call it maté because that what the devs call it. people who say GUHnome sound dumb." I agree. This is what happens when people only read the name for years before hearing how to say it. :P maté, gnome, and gnu are things; guhnome and guhnu aren't things
@@EzeeLinux there is things i like and dislike about both Linux Mint and Ubuntu. I like that Mint is ready out of the box, but dont like having preinstalled programs i may not use. Then i like the minamal install feature in ubuntu but dislike that it is so plan afterwards..
