&& flatpak update

You can also include && flatpak uninstall --unused in your alias to clean up more space.

Appending (intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”) to your search query will search most instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG afaik.

celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice

Those applications uninstalled just fine without any dependency issues last time I tried Mint.

If you're unsure, make a snapshot of your current VM state (if your VM software supports it). Then just uninstall the junk you don't need until Mint breaks. Restore snapshot, test some more, and so on. Those on real hardware should use Timeshift to create snapshots.

Tip: Run sudo apt autoremove package in the terminal so you can see which dependencies that are removed.

You shouldn't have to install any flatpak dependency manually. Flatpak should handle it for you automatically when you install your programs. (In most cases.)

I think I also had this issue using Cinnamon once, but then I just used VLC instead. Never bothered to look into why. Worked fine in GNOME for me though.

I found a thread with a similar issue: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/flatpak-mpv-broken-since-20240306-snapshot/172981

There it seems the issue was audio. Try running the flatpak version with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv --ao=pulse path-to-your-media-file

• On June 3rd, Chrome(ium) users will start being informed that their MV2 extensions will soon stop to function. uBlock Origin (and others) will lose the "Featured" badge.
• The remaining MV2 extensions will be gradually disabled in the "coming months", with the last deadline being the beginning of next year. (Expect that uBO will probably not last that long).

What options do you have if you still want to use uBlock Origin?

• Firefox (and up to date forks) have no plans to end support for the webrequest API that uBO requires.
• Brave browser will allow MV2 extensions for now. I still have no info on if they are going to use their own store or require manual installation/updating of MV2 extensions.
• If you use Chrome. By enabling enterprise policy ExtensionManifestV2Availability, you should be able to extend support till June 2025.
• uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) is a MV3 extension that is much more limited than uBO and is not intended to be a replacement for uBO. These limitations are described in detail in the FAQ for uBOL: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)

For the flatpak version the mpv.conf file can be created in ~/.var/app/io.mpv.Mpv/config/mpv/. You probably don't need to link it to the yt-dlp python file as the flatpak mpv version should come with the latest yt-dlp.

Mint is known to use old software in its repositories as it's based on Ubuntu LTS. The flatpak mpv should work though. flatpak install flathub io.mpv.Mpv and then run it with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

If you don't want to type flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv all the time, you can create an alias in your ~/.bashrc file. For example: alias play='flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv'. (After editing your bashrc file, run: source ~/.bashrc to activate the change). Then you can run it with play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ.

Your mpv or vlc versions may be too old. Try updating them to the latest versions.

Sounds like a bug in the filters used by Adblock and Adblock Plus. Afaik uBO or Adguard aren't affected.

OpenSUSE use patterns. Groups of packages that can be selected during installation. If one of the included pattern packages is removed it will be "fixed" when updating. You can uninstall some patterns, but be careful as some may be more important than others, leaving you without a graphical interface or something like that. If you decide to do a reinstall, you can deselect a lot of patterns (search for "pattern" in the software selection section of the installer).

Is there an equivalent or something similar to "Use host i/o cache" that VirtualBox have? Last time I tried virt-manager the install time of the vm was incredibly slow because of the terrible write speed to my hdd. Vbox fixes that issue with the host i/o cache setting.
