Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it's 'tech-y' or acting like you're more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly. Explain shortly the benefits, 'faster, more secure, easier to use, main choices of professionals and free'. Ask questions that let you know if they need to dual boot, 'do you use Adobe, anti-cheat games, or Microsoft Office', 'how new is your computer', 'do you use a Mac'. And most importantly, offer to help them install. They don't understand the concept of distros, just suggest Linux Mint LTS Cinnamon unless they're curious. That's it, spread Linux to as many people as possible. The larger the marketshare, the better support we ALL get. We can fight enshittification. Take the time to spread it but don't force it on anyone. AND STOP SCARING PEOPLE AWAY. Linux has no advertising money, it's up to us. Offer family members or friends your help or copy and paste the below how to install linux: 1) copy down your windows product key 2) backup your files to a harddrive 3) install the linux mint cinnamon iso from the linux mint website 4) use etcher (download from its website) to put the iso on a usb flash drive 5) go into bios 6) boot from the usb 7) erase the storage and install 8) press update all in the update manager 9) celebrate. it takes 15 minutes. edit: LET ME RE-STATE, DO NOT FORCE IT ON ANYONE. and if someone is at the level of ignorance (not in a derogatory fashion) that they dont know what a file even is genuinely dont bother unless theyre your parents cause youll be tech support for their 'how do i install the internet' questions.

do you know that minecraft mod that autosorts your inventory? is there are project that can autosort a messy file system and put all of your files of a similar nature into a well organised, well named order. obviously this would require ai that could do image, language, and audio recognition but is there anything in the works? i can imagine this would speed up distrohopping by 10x. ai powered file management

AI Generated Images jackpot • 8 months ago • 100%

I want to be able to put in one or multiple images and have AI spit out the prompts needed in-depth to get an image like that and then use those prompts. It would be cool if it could self-test itself before giving the results to try and find the closest seed and prompt it could to generate the image.

Former title: SSD having issues after I filled up its storage I wrote this poorly last time so here's a more clear description: Hey all, so I filled my SSD up on Linux Mint and it's running sluggishly. I deleted more than half of my storage but there's still issues. It can read / write fast according to my inexperienced testing and I have trimmed it (to my knowledge) but there's still issues. Loading up programs now takes 30 seconds (even something like VLC which typically took like 0.5 seconds). Loading new audio files into VLC can take 10 seconds. I have checked my system monitor and nothing seems out of place. Also, when the program starts running, it runs perfectly. The computer itself is fast but loading anything new takes ages. Does anyone have any ideas? It's a new laptop, not even two months old. Edit: This is somehow, and strangely, a Flatpak issue apparently? It was triggered either by a full SSD or the new Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon update. Edit 2: Interesting experiment result 'it took 30 seconds but this got outputted and then the file ran: dave@dog: ~$ flatpak run org.x.Warpinator Gtx-Message: 14:29:03.389: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module" Using landlock for incoming file isolation' It appears there's either a xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and/or xdg-desktop-portal-gnome error and I'm not alone, Mint and Arch users are both reporting it as of recent strangely??? This was a real sneaky fu(ker as it dodged all logical system testing. The only reason I caught it was cause it was suspicious how fast system programs booted and how flatpaks booted like sh(t. Not sure if I'm even right about the module, but I'm highly suspicious Some comment mentioned this and it explained it well: Random shot, because it's probably not an issue on Mint like it was on Arch a few months ago, but xdg-desktop-portal problems can cause apps to take forever to load, but run fine once loaded. edit: Try removing xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and/or xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check 'page faults' and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it's still running like a slug. once an application is open, it's fine. but beforehand? it takes 20 seconds to open vlc. loading a new .mp3 audio for vlc takes maybe 10 or so. it started before the update when i totallt ran our of stroage so i assume it's that. im confused as to if it's some process stealing resources.

hi all, ive tried using shotcut and kdenlive but the outputted file ends up being huge. i have a single image and want to put audio on top (releasing a song) but these programs end up making video files where they render the same image on each frame and the files end up being huge. what is the best way to achieve my use case of making a single photo music 'video' that doesnt degrade the quality of the image and can be posted to youtube? tl;dr: need a still image video (image is lossless) where rhe imsge isnt reduplicared and has audio
