Interesting problem with Google Chrome and it's solution.

Re: Interesting problem with Google Chrome and it's solution.

...is that Mint Cinnamon or Mint MATE?!?!



PS--the Mint MATE is supposed to work better with lower spec'd equipment!...I've got Ubuntu MATE on a machine at home, but I think I am going to try out the Mint MATE and see how it works!...Great thing is, I got a bunch of 40 GB IDE IBM Hard Drives that I've pulled from some Ricoh-Savin Machines and I can try out different distros to see which work best!

Haven't tried Mint Mate, gonna have to check it out. Thanks. Funny, I do the same with the 40 gig IDE, good experimental stuff. I have an old p4, 2 ghz, with a couple 160gb Ricoh hdd's setup in a software RAID using NAS4FREE. Got a copier at home using SMB to scan to it. Pay a bill, scan, and shred. Who could want more? Been a Linux fan now for about 15 years. I am almost sad it is becoming so popular. I liked going to the dark side of the internet without much worry looking for manuals,programs, etc. Now I think twice, even with Linux.

I had so much trouble with chrome crashing printers that I found this way to totally disable the stupid print preview. Firmware helped a lot of times but not always

You might like to know....saw it on some tech news site that the alpha'bet agencies are paying *more attention* to linux users...sees them as *potential* dissidents!...go figure!....people are figuring out that windoze has been "backdoored" to the alpha'bet agencies and are switching ranks!

Speaking of WINDBLOWS, just updated my wife's laptop to W10. Which has the new browser and internet and antivirus protection built into the system. I was researching a P0430 error code my car is giving. Within a matter of the first 2 google pages, I landed on a site and boom, the laptop was filled with ransom ware. I was even using a standard user account when browsing so nothing "SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED". I thought no biggie, just reimage, imaging comes standard with W10. The image did not work!!! Screw that crap, going back to clonzilla. Fortunately I made a system restore point after loading, went back to that, and it got rid of the ransomware. Real secure. I will admit W10 has a nice feel to it, like a good updated W7, the jury is still out though. I hear the new browser sells out our data. Time for proxies for the internet anymore, I think the anonymousity is worth the price. Also thinking about going back to open dns.

If you haven't figure it out by now give it a few years...
