#lmde — Public Fediverse posts

Nedenini hiç bilmiyorum, ama Ubuntu'dan hiç hazzetmedim!

İlk gördüğümde panelin ekranın sol yanında dikey olması yüzünden itici gelmişti.

#Linux dağıtımları hakkında daha fazla bilgi sahibi olunca bunun değiştirilebilir olduğunu öğrensem de Ubuntu antipatim hâlâ devam ediyordu.

O kadar ki, ilk gerçek Linux dağıtımım olan #LinuxMint'in Ubuntusuz olan #LMDE sürümünü seçmiştim!

Hâlâ daha #ubuntu sevmem!

Fakat artık yeni #windows olmaya çalıştığı için sevmeyeni çoğaldı!

Ich hab' hier ein seltsames Phänomen: Ein Dell Notebook mit einem Sierra Wireless LTE-Modem unter LMDE 7 kann mit einer Alditalk SIM (Medion/eplus/O2) problemlos funken, aber mit einer Lidl SIM (Vodafone, funktioniert in anderem Gerät problemlos) nicht. mmcli funktioniert, SIM wird erkannt, aber kein Verbindungsaufbau.

Hat jemand ne Idee?

and no more Windows 7

Isn't Linux Mint Debian Edition exactly designed for in case Ubuntu falls?

I installed @linuxmint Debian Edition this evening. I overwrote the Ubuntu Desktop that I had installed over the weekend.

It's taking a little getting used to as it does things a little differently, but it's not too bad.

I moved the panel to the top of the screen as I have grown accustomed to it from my years of using Ubuntu. Also I had to bump up the fonts to aid my aging eyes.

Otherwise. It's been a nice simple shift.

Same here. I'm going to move my daily driver to LMDE. Ubuntu no more.

#Ubuntu #Noai #LMDE #Debian

With Canonical going down the AI-hype path, I hope #LinuxMint switches over to #Debian for their upstream.

You've been keeping #LMDE around for a reason.

After installing the XFCE power manager plugin, the brightness controls on the keyboard work too. I love this stuff.

#LMDE #XFCE #Debian #Linux

LMDE7 / Debian 13 is totally functional on the writing laptop, including XFCE4.

Just had to work around the fact that the brightness control isn't working, but with a few tricks usinc xrandr that was easily fixed.

Glad I did this. If I have to shift to another distro on the main laptop, it will be this same setup.

Linux Mint : Pourquoi le bleu tourne au violet ?

Bonjour,

Dernièrement, on m’a fait remarquer que mes captures d’écran où vidéos avaient une tendance à ne pas afficher la bonne couleur. En soi, c’est surtout le bleu qui tournait violet.

Vu que les premières remarques ont eu lieu sur Discord, j’ai alors pensé (à tort) qu’il y avait une compression / conversion lors de l’upload générant ainsi cet effet mais le souci c’est également présenté rapidement sur Element…

J’ai pu constater le souci sous Chromium également. En effet, en ouvrant la même capture d’écran se trouvant en local sur mon pc avec Firefox et Chromium, on avait l’impression de voir deux images différentes (confirmé avec deux autres pc sous Linux Mint et LMDE) :

J’étais donc content car j’avais une piste ! En effet, Discord et Element utilisent Chromium (au travers d’Electron) pour leurs applications et donc si Chromium a un souci, il n’est pas déconnant que des applications basées dessus soient également impactées !

En recherchant sur internet, je trouve deux sujets (un chez Ubuntu et un chez Google) concernant des soucis de bleu virant au violet sous Chromium et Chrome. Bingo ! Et une solution est donnée pour corriger ça, il suffit d’aller dans chrome://flags/ et de forcer la valeur « sRGB » et c’est bon !

En rouvrant l’image que j’avais en local, j’avais donc maintenant le même résultat entre Firefox et Chromium et je pensais donc avoir résolu le problème. Il ne manquait plus qu’à trouver comment ajouter ce paramètre dans les apps utilisant Electron.

Cependant, on va me dire que la capture de base n’est pas bonne. Celle-ci a été faite avec Firefox directement (sans autre modification derrière) mais je n’avais pas forcément prêté attention aux fait qu’elle n’avait pas les couleurs attendues… Pour bien comprendre le problème, vous pouvez faire un comparatif entre les deux images ci-dessous :

La différence est notamment visible au niveau du logo « GLF OS »… Le problème n’est donc pas lié qu’à Chromium, même si celui-ci réapplique le traitement sur les images qu’ils ouvrent, ce qui ne semble pas le cas de Firefox.

Sur le coup, je suis dépité et ne vois pas d’où vient le problème. Puis en laissant un peu de temps passer, une idée m’est venue en regardant les paramètres. Il y a une option « Couleur » dans les paramètres de Linux Mint dans la catégorie « Matériel » :

Lorsque l’on ouvre celle-ci, on a normalement un profil par défaut qui a été créé et qui correspond à la machine utilisée (les deux premières lignes dans mon cas) :

J’ai donc ajouté un profil et choisi « Artiflex Software sRGB ICC Profile » et le bleu est revenu ! A noter qu’il faut fermer et relancer les applications pour que cela prenne en compte le profil correctement. Je conseille donc de redémarrer pour être sûr que toutes les applications prennent bien le nouveau profil de couleur.

A noter qu’il y a le ticket #12637 ouvert chez Linux Mint concernant des problèmes de couleurs saturées. Dans les commentaires, on peut également lire le même constat sur le bleu qui vire vers le violet et voir la solution ci-dessus mentionnée.

Le problème semble lié à ce bon vieux X11 qui est encore là sous Linux Mint et potentiellement à un bug au niveau du profil de couleur par défaut. La bonne nouvelle, c’est qu’en me connectant sous Wayland avec le profil de couleur par défaut, je n’ai pas cette déformation sur le bleu. En revanche, en très peu de temps, j’ai pu constater d’autres bugs qui sont déjà listés ici.

Actuellement, Wayland sur Cinnamon est marqué comme expérimental et ça se voit vite. Ce n’est pas encore prêt, même si en soi, le système restait utilisable. Peut-être que pour Noël avec la version 23 de Linux Mint annoncée hier, Waylant sera prêt et ce problème du passé ?

L’avenir nous le dira ! En attendant, vous avez une solution si jamais vous constatez ce problème sur votre Linux Mint 😉

#VSCodium peeps.

I have just moved to a new LAMPs web development platform using LMDE7. VSCodium won't allow me to directly edit the canonical directory (ie /var/www/html/whatever) but sends me into the tmpfs (/run/user/$USER/doc/xxxxx). This FUBARs git. Is there a setting that will allow me to edit files directly?

EDIT: Solved. It was an issue with flatpak. I installed the deb and it works fine now.

Well I've been using Linux (LMDE) as my sole desktop OS for a bit over a month now, and it's starting to feel mundane in a good way. I spent a lot of time in the first two weeks setting things up, configuring, testing, tweaking, etc... and that has all basically wrapped up. I'm pretty much just using it now.

It's not perfect, and the solutions to certain things are still Very Linux, but my Windows setup wasn't perfect either, I just got used to dealing with its eccentricities, like having to reboot my PC once after powering it on so that the audio didn't crackle, or all of the windows on my desktop moving onto one monitor after they go into power save mode because DisplayPort.

I now have a variation on this theme under Linux, if I power on the machine, the monitors are swapped until I reboot once. But I also rarely do that, so 🤷 I'll see if I can figure it out eventually if it really bothers me enough.

I have run into one instance so far of "darn, no Linux app, guess I'm not using that". Was thinking about trying out Proton Drive, but no Linux support. Maybe I could run it under wine, might give that a try eventually or not, we'll see.

Is Linux Mint burning out? Developers consider longer release cycle

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://nerds.xyz/2026/02/linux-mint-longer-development-cycle/

Remember that massive Debian family tree thread? It officially has a home on my Codeberg now.

I have cleaned it up, fixed the links, and organized it so it is easier to navigate. If you are looking for a non-Ubuntu Debian based distro, this is a decent place to start.

View the list here: https://codeberg.org/resplendent606/terminal-tilt/src/branch/main/docs/debian-distros.md

Pull Requests are welcome, or you can just tell me here.

My #Linux story...
For years I used #Ubuntu then a few of its flavours after GNOME 2 died.
Then, #LinuxMint when snap was forced onto us, and since I used #Debian for servers, I moved to #LMDE as it felt more familiar.
Grew tired of the #Cinnamon desktop and wanted something more modern. Installed GNOME and with a few tweaks, I found what I was looking for.
At that point, I may as well just run Debian with GNOME. So that's what I've done 👍
When #GNOME3 came out I hated it! How times change...

Every day I backup my home folder to my external usb drive using #rsync. It only takes a couple minutes. Once a week or so I make a system snapshot using #Timeshift.

So, today 14th Oct both my computer operating system has released LMDE 7 and my web site CMS has released Joomla 6. Both are free and open source.

Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 “Gigi” released!

Linux Mint has released a new version of Linux Mint Debian Edition, called “Gigi”, that is an upgrade over the previous version, “Faye”. This version is a long-term support release, which means that you’ll get package updates for a very long time. This version of LMDE is based on the latest version of Debian, which is Debian 13 Trixie.

This version of LMDE brings new features and enhancements to refine your desktop experience, and is easier to use. This is based on Debian Trixie to align with their update rhythm for packages to ensure that you’ll have the most secure and stable system, while retaining Linux Mint’s aesthetics.

Check the below system requirements to determine whether your computer is able to run this version of LMDE or not:

• 2GB RAM (4GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
• 20GB of disk space (100GB recommended).
• 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).

You can download the torrent of Linux Mint Debian Edition here, but you’ll have to use a BitTorrent client, such as qBittorrent (open source torrent client). If you don’t plan to use torrents or are uncomfortable in using Peer-to-Peer clients, you can consult a list of mirrors here.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 7 has hit the download mirrors! Here is one at a German university: https://ftp.fau.de/mint/iso/debian/

When I downloaded the ISO image yesterday, it still had beta status. That did not prevent me from installing it on my son's laptop. What follows are first impressions from a mixed father & son perspective.

I switched from MS-DOS straight to GNU/Linux and never used Windows much. My preferred distro is #Debian because it is the universal operating system created by a large, global community. I spend most of my time on the command line.

My son is now ready to give up Windows because support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, and he does not want to upgrade to Windows 11 due to all of the malware it comes with.

He installed and occasionally used Linux Mint (which is based on Ubuntu) on an old computer in the past. As Debian 13 (“trixie”) is quite fresh and also rock-solid, I wanted to give #LMDE another try. Many years ago, my parents used it happily.

LMDE comes with the #Cinnamon desktop which looks a lot like Windows. You can download an official Debian live ISO with Cinnamon pre-installed. I tried it, but it clearly has not been configured quite as lovingly as Linux Mint's. No wonder – Linux Mint developed Cinnamon in the first place.

To my mind, this makes LMDE7 the ideal choice for beginners and pros alike. Installing it (even with full disk encryption) is a breeze – if you give it the entire disk to play with. Try to avoid multi-boot installations if at all possible. If you need Windows later, you can run it in a virtual machine. Be sure to make a complete backup of your Windows system first! We used the free Rescuezilla for this.

So far, we have not run into any issue with LMDE7. OK, there was one gotcha: When configuring automatic backups in Timeshift, do not choose the boot partition as the target. It would fill up very quickly.

@axantoni
I used #Ubuntu with the #Unity desktop for a while, but then switched to #LinuxMint because of its ease of use.
I now use #LinuxMintDebianEdition (#LMDE) because of its better compatibility with RaspberryPi and #Raspbian (#RaspberryPiOS).

@waldstepper

I've installed #LMDE 7 #Gigi on my laptop and I must say... Now I'm tempted to switch from #linuxmint 22.2 to LMDE 7 on my main rig, once it releases. It's basically Debian Stable but with Cinnamon instead of GNOME. Which is juuuust fine by me!

¿O mejor le instalo directamente Debian 13?

So, ich denke, mein Desktop kann sich sehen lassen. Größtenteils sind die Anzeigen statisch, d. h.: Die Boxen links und rechts neben dem Wappen zeigen immer festgelegte Informationen an.

Einzig die Box unter dem Wappen ist dynamisch. Wenn kein Radiostream läuft, zeigt es die Laufzeit des Rechners an und welchen Linux-Kernel ich verwende. Läuft ein Radiostream, werden Radiosender, Artist und Titel angezeigt.

Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 Beta is now live!

With Debian 13 being released last month, the Linux Mint team have just released the beta version of the upcoming Linux Mint Debian Edition 7 distribution. This follows the global rollout of the Linux Mint 22.2 “Zara” distribution based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat for stability. Linux Mint Debian Edition is a Linux Mint project that aims to provide the same experience as the normal version provides, but with Debian as the base.

Linux Mint Debian 7 has just reached the beta stage that is based on this year’s Debian release, which is version 13 Trixie. The beta version has entered the global rollout, and it’s now available across all official Linux Mint mirrors worldwide, and you can also download the torrent.

System requirements:

• 2GB RAM (4GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
• 20GB of disk space (100GB recommended).
• 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).

You can find more information about this version of LMDE here.

I keep hearing about people "distro hopping" from one Linux desktop distribution to the next. I never understood this. As a teenager in the 00s, I tried Fedora, but I wasn't ready for Linux (or maybe Linux wasn't ready for such casual users), so I dropped it quickly. I tried Ubuntu for like two seconds in my early 20s, hated the desktop environment, then used only Linux Mint for about the last decade. I recently switched to Linux Mint Debian Edition.

I like the clean feeling of a new install, but I have no desire to keep fiddling with my system and customizing everything over and over. It's tedious. I just want my computer to work. Am I the odd one out here?

Monkeying around with Linux Mint Debian Edition.

I really don't like the app panel paradigm as used in Cinnamon. I installed Plank for now just 'cuz I remember the name of it.

What else should I try? Other docks? An app launcher I can bind to the super key?

One of these decades I'll train my finger memory to remember that Cinnamon has 2 n's and 1 m. Ha.

A question for #linux experts..I have a USB stick, which served as a live USB for #LMDe, but after that I've formatted it and now I have a few movies there...but in Linux Mint they are correctly shown, in #raspberrypi3 I use for my TV, it still shows #lmde6 live USB..how's that possible?
Please, advise how to remedy this situation.

#LMDE7:

Neue Funktionen und Verbesserungen vorgestellt.

Das #LinuxMint-Team hat im März spannende Neuerungen für kommende Versionen angekündigt. Projektleiter Clement #Lefebvre informierte in Rahmen des monatlichen Newsletters über den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand und neue Funktionen für #Linux #Mint und #LMDE 7.

Ein zentrales Thema ist die Einführung von OEM-Installationen für LMDE 7. Diese Funktion erlaubt es Linux Mint vorinstalliert auf Computern auszuliefern.

I've installed Linux Mint Debian Edition onto one of my machines! I have been using Mint (the one made using Ubuntu) for about a decade and I'm happy to finally cut #Amazon out of the loop.

Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) feels almost exactly like Linux Mint. The only difference I've noticed is that it asks me about the GRUB bootloader more at setup than I recall from Linux Mint.

If all continues to go well with my first machine, I'll be switching the other machines to Debian Edition, as well.

I had a hard time finding information on the differences between specifically Debian and LMDE online that wasn't just AI-generated clickbait garbage, but I have the general impression that LMDE has more set up for me at the outset, which is what I prefer.

A while ago I upgraded my old #netbook running #op25 from #LMDE5 to #LMDE6 - I had to recompile OP25 and a couple of other small things to get it working.
But it has never worked as well as it did with LMDE5, so today I've decided to wipe the whole thing, and start over with LMDE5
I don't really need it connected to the internet, but was thinking about setting up streaming. I think it might be too slow do that correctly.

Linux Mint, Ubuntu, and LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) are three popular Linux distributions, each with its own unique characteristics, philosophies, and user bases.
