It's already built-in as F10 or Edit → Sort! It'd really be handy to have this. I don't know how to add new plugins to the settings' "Plugins" section. It seems strange that there's no link in there to some plugin hub or something.

When sorting stuff by "Top," the further options say "Months" but also "Hour" when they should all be plural, no?

Is this, like, incredibly novel, common, or somewhere in between? I've never heard of this apart from WLS...

1. I'm seeing just one massive downside to Plank Reloaded, which is that I'm finding myself apparently having been ridiculously dependent on pressing Super+# all these years in Windows to open apps in the dock... to which Plank Reloaded doesn't react at all; it seems to require a Grouped Window List with apps pinned in the same order. PR also doesn't respond to Cinnamon's Keyboard menu's Global hotkey to show the order of apps, which seems to only affect Grouped Window List. Isn't the whole point of Plank Reloaded to replace a Grouped Window List? Would I have to forgo my beloved Super+# and just type everything via the menu if I wanna stick to PR without a GWL? Help! Also, how do you customize PR more, anyway? I've seen some pretty crazy things from people online (purportedly, unless it was other software at work) and learned to Ctrl+right-click it but there doesn't seem to be a way to change the icons, or are those managed elsewhere? EDIT: Hmm... wow, there are way more docks out there than I realized, duh. Maybe I'll just ditch PR for one of these... but the Super+# shortcut loss remains a bit painful... Does anyone already happen to know if any dock is compatible with this shortcut?

2. Redditors were saying to "Either use 'Blur Cinnamon' or Transparent panels,' but not both" for further customizing via extensions, due to wasted-memory concerns. The problem is that I can't seem to get Blur Cinnamon alone to remove panels' background color and seamlessly blend them into the wallpaper. Blur is pretty tricky for me to figure out.

3. Lastly, are there any Conky configs that show space on external drives, or would anyone know how to modify any to do so?

Any light shed on any of these matters would be much appreciated.

How do I add the font Candara to Firefox's fonts? It has so few of the standard fonts. I'd love to get this on here, but I can't figure out how.

It'd be pretty sweet to have something like what this video shows, but in Cinnamon: https://reddit.com/comments/1tyl4ov

I can't find any such desklet, though! Am I just searching poorly?

PeppermintOS? I'm trying to prepare an ancient Chromebook C202S for Linux and have had some ideas from antiX to MXLinux and Loc-OS, but it seems that PeppermintOS may be among the best choices.

The tech level of this Chromebook's end user is unlikely to work well with Arch + BSPWM, which was recommended to me by someone else.

So I just discovered the built-in TV/movie watcher, but when I went to the USA's Free-TV section to just try to pull up ABC News, etc., it gave me an endlessly spinning wheel.

When I tried to browse for Pluto movies, it just kept looping this loading screen with the same, few-seconds-long music with the Pluto planet and ring-shaped text rotating around it. It also showed this even when I tried to watch BBC Home in the TV section...

The articles I found online like https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-watch-live-tv-on-the-linux-desktop-with-hypnotix/ and https://itsfoss.com/hypnotix-iptv-app/ just don't seem to address the issues I'm having, as if they don't exist at all. Does this app just no longer work or something?

The first link in this comment makes Blorp go to a broken-link screen that Android can't back out of, requiring Blorp to be closed from Android's multitask button to be able to be usable again. (I wonder if this is tied to the fact that you can't just back out of Blorp all the way to the home screen; you must press the home button, which I greatly dislike...)

It would be nice to be able to press-hold on links to see where they go, share, or copy them instead of having to open them. In fact, Summit, if I recall correctly, even generates live a thumbnail image preview of the destination link before you open it!

I feel like trying to persuade people to leave Windows purely from a privacy angle is being too specific or extreme for those who really don't care/gave up. I think a great, alternative way to win people over would be to simply point out how much more efficient it is and energy-saving for their own electric bills.

Just don't warn them about how much energy they may end up ironically expending as a result of tinkering with it and fixing issues and finding cool stuff like Burn My Windows, haha... 🤫

I just received a massive (multi-paragraph, spanning the entire height of the screen) notification that confused me until I realized that it was the end of a huge message from a friend.

I'm kinda taken aback by the fact that Mint devs didn't set notifications to display the first words, instead of the last words, of gigantic notifications. Is there a way to configure them to present themselves accordingly?

The issue seems to be Keysharp interfering!

Original post:

I have this set up as a startup script, but it only sometimes triggers, despite setting a 20-second delay:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 2
xmodmap -e "clear lock"
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Return"

I have the startup command set to bash "path/Remap_Caps_Lock_to_Enter.sh". What's going on? It works when I press the triangle button when it doesn't work on boot.
