@gh0stcassette you can install HWE kernels like in Ubuntu, from Update Manager

@Rustmilian classic Mint is basically Ubuntu without snap. Then there’s Mint Debian edition which is built on Debian (sort of insurance if Ubuntu goes Red Hat way).

@Presi300 I’m using Cinnamon with 2 monitors (laptop + external monitor connected via displaylink)

@Presi300 Mint is fine also with 2 monitors

@cosmicrookie the intuitive solution to error 0x4f63e78 would be…? Because that’s how Windows issues typically are: no explanation of what has failed, only an hex string

@nicman24 Ubuntu 16.04 ESM will have security updates till 2026

@bartolomeo if you want it to just work, you should consider installing Armbian. I ran Armbian for a couple of years on my Rock64 and it was very stable

@PseudoSpock too bad

@PseudoSpock add Linux Mint repository and install Firefox from there, as described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1386738/how-to-install-chromium-from-the-linux-mint-repositories-in-ubuntu
Or switch to Linux Mint entirely, like I did :ablobcatbongo:

@TunaCowboy nice, thanks!

@tubbadu no, stable gets them sooner than testing https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/ch10.en.html#security-support-testing

@tubbadu the problem are security updates, that get to testing later
