If a person considers it ”spam,” that is all the reason they need.

My Recipe Box is used by a few in my family.

No account or internet connection needed and app for Android and ios.

Does this mean I am unable to use mint cinnamon or does this link show how to install for mint cinnamon?

Apologies for my confusion. I am still learning the basics and appreciate the help.

If you want to install additional software: If you come from Windows, you might be familiar with visiting websites of software then downloading a setup.exe/msi from there. That’s NOT how you install software on Linux. On Linux, you first look if there’s a package available for your distribution

This is where I have gotten lost. Trying to install my vpn.

My vpn does not work with cinnamon apparently, and I did not want to use the app in the software manager that is not even associated in any way with the actual vpn provider.

I am going to check out the forums next. (This is why having a techy person you know would be helpful!)

From a non techy perspective, having what is used and installed being secure is a big one. I am new to Linux Mint. Mostly user friendly until something gets corrupted or suddenly can not be verified.

Looking for why is not always simple, and there are some explanations/instructions easier to understand than others.

I preface most of my searches with Linux mint (whatever I am searching for) for dummies. This helps some.

Imo, the current meaning for AI is just another way for companies to take even more of your data and embed more invasive technologies.

Edit: No thanks

I could be misunderstanding your intention. Can you share it to Samsung notes and save as PDF from there?

I do. Companies do seem to be adding them everywhere. Eventually everything will showcase ads because not enough consumers were against it. Apps that are part of the OS, imo, should not have any ads, regardless of price point for the device.

While the new UI offers mostly a bloatware-free experience, it’s the ads that are annoying. For starters, the pre-installed Weather App, although can be deleted, is LOADED with ads. The ad loading also causes the app to feel super jittery and slow. So, I’d get rid of that first. Secondly, it’s the Moto Hub, which is actually a hub of ugly ads and shady app recommendations.

There’s a Moto Hub home screen widget as well, which comes preloaded and shows ads. Moto Hub also spams you with not-so-appealing notifications. So, that’s the second thing you’d want to force stop since you can’t uninstall.

I am so tired of companies being allowed to shove ads everywhere!
