Just use Inkscape already.

I personally hate Snaps if you are aiming for that (luckily Linux Mint is also not promoting Snaps). I also don’t like Flatpacks. So the only thing I do love are appimages. But I still like PPAs
PPA= Personal Package Archives.
I disabled, like commenting out, most of these PPA’s (and potentially other Debian APT repos) and then executed a ‘downgrade foreign packages’, which will reset the packages back to the original version of Linux Mint 21, before upgrading to Mint 22.
If you are unsure of about any of those APT repos, just look in your: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
directory. The only official file is official-package-repositories.list
, all other files are most likely be added by your in the past. Commenting out the content of the *.list files is recommended and the mintupgrade
command should help you downgrade those foreign packages if needed. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
Just contact me if you have any issues or questions! either via this account or via Mastodon: https://mastodon.melroy.org/@melroy or Matrix chat or Telegram.
Yes indeed, we made a lot of changes under the hood!
I did the fork in the best way I could think of. Including a very detailed Collective Code Construction Contract for contributors: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/C4.md
VMs? That would be just running VirtualBox with Windows installed as a VM. You can also use Qemu, but that is a bit harder to understand. Alternative, you can use Wine via WineGUI (https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/winegui/-/releases). I’m the developer of WineGUI to create a so called wrapper from Windows API calls towards the Linux kernel, so Wine could be faster and more optimized than running a whole Windows VM. Again, WineGUI allows you to easily manage Wine machines.
I’m running Linux Mint for years. Today I upgraded from 21.3 to 22 without any issues! Only one or two icons in the taskbar are very small. But apart from that, everything seem to work fine!
Keep in mind, I needed to downgrade or remove all my PPA’s and other extra packages which might cause conflicts or hamper upgrading. After that I let the mintupgrade
command do it’s job.
Micro$oft loves Open-source… Well, … not unless they need to support it, instead of ripper off all the open-source developers.
Micro$oft LOVVVESSS Open-source… RIght?? right??
Office used to work via Wine in the past (using older versions of Office), but the latest versions of Micr$oft Office is so badly written, it’s hard to setup and run office under Wine indeed.
Teams can be installed as a native app.
Wine support of Office is horribly bad, so yea maybe only crossover can save us.
What can go wrong?
I can do it with my eyes closed. And using the number shortcuts to navigate through the menus.
It’s better than it used to be. It might still require some basic cli skills. Especially formatting disks and mount points. And file system types. Etc.
I know manjaro makes it even easier.
Ow right! It’s happy cake day for me! Thanks…
Exactly try to execute lsblk -f and look at your sda (sda2).
Or what about Mbin compatibility, eg. this example magazine: https://kbin.melroy.org/m/updates
