    Tired of Windows

    I apply ALL updates Mint gives me. Every single one. Actually I don't know how to not get updates from a package I don't want to update. As for Chrome, you can remove the PPA so it won't ask for updates, but I definitely recommend updating Chrome. If you are using Chromium (open source) then...

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    Same for me as well. I have 6 Desktops and most of the make a LOT of noise because of fans. It doesn't bother me anymore because they are in my office and I mostly play games. Turn up the game and you won't hear anything. I don't overclock either. Never have. Todays CPU's are so advanced...

    Tired of Windows

    You can avoid "apt-get" for most things by using the Synaptics Package manager. As long as you know the package you need, just search for it, mark it for installation and click Apply. I do this from time to time because sometimes the Package Manager doesn't install everything. Like when I...

    Tired of Windows

Try downloading Google Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ Make sure to click the 64-bit version because the...

    Mint website hacked, check your .iso downloads

    I work in "corporate world" and security has much-to-be-desired. We've been using the same admin password for many years. Even with turn-over we still don't change the admin password. So many people who left still know it.

    Federal Trade Commission slams Butterfly Labs for $39M [tl;dr: they'll never pay up]

    Sometimes I wonder if criminals have a better understanding of technology than the people to release new technology?

    Skyrim NO SOUND

    Really? I have the DVD as well and it automatically installs Steam and installs Skyrim from the DVD into Steam. So I don't know how you got a non-Steam version of Skyrim... very strange. No problem! Always here to help

    World of Warcraft Guide

    Thanks for the "heads up" Was there a specific thing that fixed your virtual desktop? Like DLL overrides: *msvcr90=native,builtin d3dcompiler_46=disabled dbghelp=native,builtin msvcp100=native,builtin or installing: lib32-libldap or using 32-bit Wine and 32-bit virtual drive?

    Dark Souls Guide

    Thanks! I'm scared to play it again because I'm just going to die again and start over. I even watched a SpeedRun video and can't figure out what they are doing.... like using some kind of lightning element on the sword and killing bosses in 3 hits???
