  • Linux mint 22.3 cinnamon desktop freezing, audio and mouse cursor fine.

  • Thank you, I have done this and confirmed I am running on x11. When I have taken the necessary backups / images and timeshift backup I will test it out as from the sounds of it wayland is still in its experimental phase for cinnamon.

    Thank you for all your advice though, now I am beginning to understand the picture I see why my next step is to test wayland.

  • I have kept customisations to a minimum, I shall look into performing what you describe once I have confirmed I have appropriate backups, images and timeshift backups in place. I am nervous of changing anything related to the GUI as I do not want to end up in a situation where I am just booting into a terminal.

    Thank you for you help, it has been most illuminating.

  • I run an AMD GPU as I saw that NVIDIA GPU's can be a pain due to NVIDIA's closed approach to linux. I have determined I am running x11 so I will look into methods of trying a wayland session. I am just nervous of switching as I do not want to find myself booting to a terminal instead of a GUI. It is something I will have to research more and make sure I can roll back. I plan to backup and image the system before going down this route.

    Question, would timeshift be able to roll back a switch from x11 to wayland in case of an issue? And am I right in thinking I would have to boot from a live usb to perform the appropriate timeshift restore?

    Thank you for your help.

  • For clarification of the pop out video, I mean say you are playing a youtube video, firefox and its forks allow you to "pop-out" that video into a separate borderless always on top window. I use ublock origin for element blocking including advertising and other privacy related features.

    I did think window manager extensions as I did play around with the obligatory wobbly windows and the like. But I prefer to have them turned off and have made sure they are all disabled. It was fun though.

    A different DE was a consideration but I am a little nervous being new to linux of changing too much and getting myself into a situation where I do not have a GUI. I do have a means to do a system image so would probably wait until I have a recent backup and a system image before changing the DE. Ideally I'd like to fix whatever this issue is but I agree it would be a good diagnostic step.

    Thank you for your help.

  • I do have a kill switch configuration set with the VPN. I will test it, again thank you for the simplified explanation. It is quite clear in my head now and I will test accordingly.

  • Very interesting, thank you. So for now, it sounds like using a limited user and / or a vm with GPU passthrough is the most sensible option. Bubblewrap is something I will investigate, thanks. It is sounding like my original idea of setting up a GPU passthrough may be the simplest / best option. Much to consider. Thank you.

  • Could you please explain a little more on what X11 and wayland are? My current level of understanding is just that I am running the cinnamon desktop environment. How can I find out the information you are looking for? Also, why is it that going into ctrl+alt+f1 and then ctrl+alt+f7 to go back, resolve the issue? Thanks for your reply.

  • Distro recommendations and the right questions to ask

  • I am new to linux, I chose mint due to its popularity and noted stability. I just wanted an OS that worked for me not against me that was beginner friendly for a user moving from windows 10. I have been on it for a while now, encountered the odd issue (facing a tricky one now) but working through them. I chose popularity because I thought if I encounter issues, I am more likely to find answers. Also, it must be popular for a reason.

    Just a new linux user agreeing with what you have to say.

  • Excellent explanation, thank you very much. Since I am using a VPN configuration on the host computer, am I correct in thinking NAT is the option I want if I want all traffic routed through that? It seems to function that way at the moment (checking IP on speedtest). If I recall, I had it configured that way on virtualbox. I want everything to network wise to be piped through the host first so if in the future I have custom firewall rules etc on the host, those are in place from the sounds of it using NAT correct?

    Thanks again.

  • I am a privacy focused individual. I have researched that command and confirmed sensitive information such as MAC addresses are included. I see that the "z" flag omits this information. Would inxi -Fxxz be acceptable. Still it reveals much of my hardware which to be honest I am uncomfortable with. Thank you for your response though.

  • The drivers tool shows everything as OK. Also of note, I am using an AMD GPU so I am not dealing with any NVIDIA weirdness.

  • This is something I'll have to look into further as I do not fully understand the whole concept of what is happening when running windows games under linux and how something is repacked to only work on linux. Thank you though.

  • Thanks for the link, I think nothing is riskless. All just a game of chance, just trying to minimise those risks to a reasonable degree.
