A while back...I think I was in Mint 15 or 16 I learned that Mint doesn't take full advantage of my SSDs, But ThunderRoad was good enough to help me by creating an fstab entry to correct this deficiency. So...Now I'm wondering if Mint 18 has caught up with SSD so I would no longer need to do...

Still...nice to know your looking out for us! ":O}

I'm sure you will have much to consider!

You just put a great big smile on my face! ":O}

I'd say a very good sigh! ":O}

Shoot! I didn't realize that that's what they would be doing, was in a hurry...Scratch this for me... I thought they were going for something like Steam Linux...sigh..

From here on forward, all new Mint versions will be will upgrade previous versions. So if you choose to sit on say Mint 18 and let 19 and 20 just go on by, then decide to install Mint 21...You just hit the upgrade button in System updates and it takes you there...The disk and the USB drives will...

Well....I'm dyslexic...So for me...You'e qualified as "talented" ":O}

The talented have many choices, the rest of us have but a few...":O}

I sighed up, looks to be a while 60 days and it seem to cost 40 to 50cents an hour... bit of added expense there so insure I'll ever use it. Thanks Aryandaar

You guys are really improving my understanding of the forces in play here! Truth is I'm hard pressed to make a contribution. But as I read your insights concerning steam I kept thinking of the 20 or more Win-steam games That have sat unused in my Steam library. Also the countless hours I've...

Great thread guys! I don't get around as much as I'd like to...destro wise... I've spent all my time in Mint since 7 or 8, but keep a hard drive free so I can poke my noise into the new releases. I'm never even tempted to switch. I can appreciate anyone who has the skill set wanting to use it...

Thanks Boo! I've copied and saved your instructions... Isn't this FUN!! LOL
