May I ask why you prefer that over Google Drive, or others such as Dropbox or Mega? I used it extensively when I used Windows, but that’s been several years.

You have entered TRON. Say hello to Jeff Bridges when you see him.

I wish my employer (state government) would use Linux. But unfortunately, they are all in with Microsoft. Everything has gone that way. SharePoint, Microsoft hosted Exchange, OneDrive, etc… And it’s as horrible as you can imagine. It’s awesome when I can’t access my personal files because Microsoft servers are down. And don’t get me started on the CrowdStrike fiasco!

This is the greatness of Linux. Instead of having to change your workflow to be compatible with your OS, you can change your OS to be compatible with your workflow.

I’m using Cinnamon on Fedora, but I’m guessing it should be the same in Mint. Open the Menu Editor (right-click on the Mint menu and select Edit Menu) Locate the “Files” entry. Right click on it and select Properties. In the Command box, add a space after the %U then Downloads. So the Command should be nemo %U Downloads.

I recently switched to Fedora after roughly two decades of using Ubuntu (started with Warty Warthog), Debian and their derivatives. Feels oddly comfortable, and strangely nostalgic having started using in Linux with Red Hat 24 years ago. I think both Ubuntu and Fedora have their issues, as well as their strengths. It just boils down to what issues and strengths are most important to you.

Red Hat was the first Linux I installed, about 24 years ago, and got hooked. Switched to Ubuntu about 19 years ago, and have used nothing but Debian and derivatives since. I’ve attempted Fedora a few times, but could not convince myself to stick to it.

I don’t mind them. If this type of social media had existed when I first installed Linux 24 years ago, I would have probably done the same thing.

The state agency bureau I provide IT support for has had 10% (8 out of 80) of their new ThinkPads returned for warranty work, with several more showing signs of developing the same problem. The USB-C charging/data port broke on all of them.

Well, I changed the Selftext font in Cards view, then switched back to Small Cards view, and the setting stuck. Odd, but works.

I guess I should have specified that I use the Small Cards view, which doesn’t have the Selftext setting.

I used Ubuntu for years, but just recently installed Debian with Gnome. Definitely not as beginner friendly as Ubuntu, but I’m happy with it so far.
