Linux Mint uses Ubuntu’s installer by default. On rotational disks, this service can speed up the boot-up times by around 30-40% (it’s useless on SSDs), in my experience. The ‘ureadahead’ service (originally developed by Ubuntu, now abandoned) that Linux Mint still ships with, is one such example.

Booting into a freshly installed OS a few times is not always necessary, but, on certain ‘Linux’ distributions, there are boot-up services that do require a few boot-ups for them to properly set things up. Then I boot into it a few times (and shut it down a few times as well) to let things settle down. It's an Asus laptop (F302LJ-FN024H).Īfter installing the OS I opened the ‘Startup Manager’ and disabled a few apps (Update Manager, Print Queue Applet and SSH key agent if I remember correctly). Intel Core i7-5500U, Hybrid GPU Setup (Intel Broadwell HD Graphics 5500, Nvidia 920M), 4GB RAM DDR3, Hybrid Permanent Storage Setup (Seagate 5400 RPM, 500 GB rotational disk and a Kingston 24 GB SSD), Qualcomm Atheros AR9565 Wireless Adapter, Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Realtek ALC3236 Sound Card, LED Display (1366 x 768 resolution, 60 FPS/HZ). I tested it on my Asus laptop and below are some of its hardware details:

For this review, I downloaded the 64-bit ISO image (2.0 GB), and completely securely deleted the 3 partitions (‘ /EFI‘, ‘ /boot‘ and ‘ /‘) on my rotational disk, that I used to install it. I have decided to compare it with the data I have gathered on a freshly installed Kubuntu 19.04. This operating system will be supported up to 2023.Īs always, in this Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon review, I’ll be focusing mostly on its performance, such as the Boot-up speed, memory usage upon loading the desktop, power usage (idle), system responsiveness, shutdown speed, and system stability, although I will mention new features that I feel like worth writing about. Linux Mint 19.2 (based on Ubuntu 18.04), the latest release which I’m going to review, features the Cinnamon 4.2.3 which includes few new features, performance enhancements (such as a reduced memory footprint), improved theme and Kernel 4.15, among others. It’s been almost 20 months since I last tested one of my highly respected GNU/Linux distributions Linux Mint, the Cinnamon edition.

We also showed how you can apply your own configuration changes to control what information Conky reports, as well as various aesthetic changes to make it look fluid on your desktop. In this tutorial, we showed how to install Conky for system monitoring on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa. Once you have it looking nice, it’s easy to forget that it’s not actually part of the default Ubuntu desktop environment. Its lightweight and highly configurable nature make it a favorite of Ubuntu users. $%įor further reading, visit the official Conky git page or take a look at the man page documentation: $ man conkyĬonky is one of the oldest and most useful system monitoring utilities available on Linux. Own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager', Change line 29 from alignment = 'top_left' to alignment = 'top_right' to get Conky to display on the right side of your desktop. One of the most apparent changes that needs to happen is getting Conky out of the left side of the screen, where it overlaps with GNOME’s dock bar. Here’s how to open it with gedit: $ gedit ~/.conkyrc After that, use your favorite text editor to open up the configuration file. To apply those changes, you’ll have to reload your desktop by rebooting or logging out and back in. Otherwise, to edit the settings for your specific user, first create a single user defined Conky configuration file like so: $ cp /etc/conky/nf ~/.conkyrc So if you’re looking to apply universal changes, work directly with this file. Editing this file will change the settings for every user on your Ubuntu 20.04 system. Conky’s universal configuration file is located in /etc/conky/nf. Now that Conky is up and running, we can work a bit on its aesthetics. Conky is now loaded, but looking rather ugly at the moment
