Easy Linux Tips Project
Easy tips for Linux Mint and Ubuntu, both for beginners and for advanced users.
Speed Up your Mint!
Speeding up your Linux Mint is fun! That way, you’ll get more performance out of your computer for free.
There are several tweaks to make Linux Mint 20 Ulyana run faster. Some are quite safe, some are risky. Here you’ll find only safe ones.
I don’t like risky tweaks, because I think that stability and reliability are much more important than a speed gain. That’s why I’ve collected a couple of speed tips, that you can apply safely and that’ll probably make your Mint run considerably faster. Without diminishing the stability and reliability of your system.
Note (1): Even though in general you can apply those tips safely, nothing in life is really for free. You always pay some «price». You disable a particular system service, a couple of nice visual effects or some feature.
Each tweak therefore has its own «price tag». So you should consider before you apply a tip, whether you’re willing to pay the «price» for it.
Note (2): These tips are useful for all editions of Linux Mint: Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce. But they’re especially effective in combination with the Xfce edition, because that particular lightweight edition is recommended for slow older computers that are in dire need of a speed boost.
OK, now that that’s out of the way, let’s get started:
Improve usage of the system memory (RAM)
1. You can improve the usage of the system memory with the following tweaks:
The absolute number one: decrease swap use
1.1. This is especially noticeable on computers with relatively low RAM memory: they tend to be far too slow in Mint, and Mint accesses the hard disk too much. Luckily, this can be helped.
Note: does your computer have 8 GB RAM or more? Then you can skip this item, because with so much RAM you probably won’t notice any benefits from applying it.
On the hard disk there’s a separate file or partition for virtual memory, called the swap. When Mint uses the swap too much, the computer slows down a lot.
Mint’s inclination to use the swap, is determined by a value called swappiness. The lower the value, the longer it takes before Mint starts using the swap.
On a scale of 0-100, the default value is 60. Which is much too high for normal desktop use. Decreasing this value somewhat on a desktop computer, has no negative side effects whatsoever.
A detailed explanation can be found here (link dead? Then download this pdf file with the same content).
Now the how-to for setting the swappiness to a more reasonable level:
a. First check your current swappiness value. Type in the terminal (use copy/paste):
The result will probably be 60 .
b. To change the swappiness into a more sensible setting, type in the terminal (use copy/paste to avoid typo’s):
Press Enter. Note that you’ll be asked twice for your password.
Now a text file opens. Scroll to the bottom of that text file and add your swappiness parameter to override the default. For that, copy/paste the following two blue lines into the text file:
# Decrease swap usage to a more reasonable level
vm.swappiness=20
c. Save and close the text file. Then reboot your computer.
d. After the reboot, check the new swappiness setting:
— Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
Now it should be 20 .
Note: if your hard disk is an SSD, there’s an extra reason to decrease swappiness. That’s because too many write actions, like frequent swapping, reduce the lifespan of an SSD. Also check these tips for optimizing an SSD for your Linux.
At least 6 GB memory (RAM): tame the inode cache
1.2. Computers with at least 6 GB of memory (RAM), will probably benefit by shrinking the inode cache less aggressively.
The price that you pay for this, is that certain system items will remain longer in the RAM memory, which decreases the amount of available RAM for general tasks. That’s why this tweak is only useful for computers with at least 6 GB of memory (RAM).
This is how you do it:
a. Type in the terminal (use copy/paste):
Now a text file opens. Scroll to the bottom of that text file and add your cache parameter to override the default, so copy/paste the following two blue lines into that text file:
# Improve cache management
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50
d. Save and close the text file. Then reboot your computer.
Only 2 GB RAM or less: consider enabling zRam
1.3. When your computer has little RAM (2 GB or less), then of course your best choice for speed is a lightweight member of the Mint family, like Mint Xfce. But even then the lack of memory will remain a problem, which will cause your system to slow down from time to time. Even when the swappiness has been decreased to 20.
In that case, you might achieve better results by enabling the kernel module zRam . zRam creates a compressed swap file in your RAM. The compression factor is the gain: with that, you «increase» your RAM.
The price you pay for this, is twofold:
— Your processor (CPU) is being taxed more heavily, because it’ll have to compress and decompress all the time;
— When the system has filled the RAM swap, it’ll start swapping on the hard drive as well. With a heavy burden on the available RAM: the chunk of memory that has been sacrificed for the RAM swap.
That’s why I advise to enable zRam only for computers with little RAM, and even then only in combination with a swappiness that has been set to 20.
You can enable it as follows:
a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
sudo apt-get install zram-config
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
c. Reboot your computer.
d. Now check whether it works, with the following terminal command:
If all has gone well, you should receive a report about one or more /dev/zram «partitions». zRam is active then; no need for further action.
How to disable zRam again
1.3.1. When you want to disable and remove zRam again, you need to use a special purging command. This is how you do it:
a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
sudo apt-get purge zram-config
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
c. Reboot your computer.
d. Now check whether the removal has succeeded, with the following terminal command:
If all has gone well, you should receive no report anymore about one or more /dev/zram «partitions».
Make your Solid State Drive (SSD) run faster
2. Do you have an SSD for hard drive? Then optimize it to make it faster.
Disable Java in Libre Office
3. The performance of Libre Office might be enhanced greatly, when you disable Java in it. This will disable a few features, but usually you won’t even miss those.
Toolbar Libre Office Writer — Tools — Options.
LibreOffice — Advanced — Java Options:
remove the tick for: Use a Java runtime environment
Turn off some startup applications
4. You can speed up Mint somewhat, by disabling a couple of system services that may be superfluous for you. These are called startup applications, because they’re being launched at startup. This tweak can be compared to tweaking msconfig in Windows. Proceed with care!
Cinnamon and MATE: Menu button — Preferences — Startup Applications
Xfce: type session in the search box of the menu and select:
Session and Startup
Disable a few services that you’re absolutely sure you don’t need and reboot your computer (or log out and then log in again).
Warning: when in the slightest doubt about a particular application: don’t do anything, just leave it the way it is!
Note: only disable them, do not remove the application from the list! Keep the tweak easily reversible (you never know). I repeat: when in any doubt about a particular application: don’t do anything, just leave it enabled.
I advise to disable these two services in any case:
— System Reports (it taxes the system heavily from time to time, and it’s normally not very useful after the first system check after installation)
— mintwelcome (if needed, you can always launch it from the menu)
Two system services that many people don’t need:
— Support for NVIDIA Prime (if you don’t have an NVIDIA video card)
— Warpinator (if you have no local network)
Note: disabling startup applications is a user preference, so repeat this in each user account.
Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce: turn off all visual effects and/or compositing
5. Visual effects are nice, but they can slow down your system and even cause stability problems. That’s why Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce have only a few visual effects enabled by default.
You can gain some speed and stability when you turn off all of them. Even more speed gain can be achieved by selecting a lighter compositor or by disabling compositing entirely.
Proceed as follows:
Cinnamon: take some load off your graphics card
5.1. Disabling the «heavy» visual effects and/or compositing in Cinnamon, consists out of four steps:
a. First of all, do this:
Menu button — Preferences — Effects
Turn off everything there.
b. Then make sure this setting is disabled (it’s disabled by default, but you may have enabled it yourself sometime):
Menu button — Preferences — System Settings — Applets: scroll to «Show desktop» and click on its gears button — disable Peek at the desktop on hover .
c. Now this:
Menu button — Preferences — Window Tiling
Enable Window Tiling and Snapping: switch it off.
d. Finally, you might disable compositing. Disabling compositing often causes screen tearing when scrolling through a web page or when watching videos. So there’s a pretty stiff price attached to this. Therefore I don’t generally recommend to disable compositing.
But if you want to disable compositing anyway, this is how to do it:
Menu button — Preferences — System Settings
Section Preferences : General
Disable compositing for full-screen windows: switch it on.
Technical sidenote for advanced users: whereas MATE and Xfce offer the option to switch the window manager, Cinnamon doesn’t: it’s tied to its default window manager Muffin.
MATE: take some load off your graphics card
5.2. Disabling the «heavy» visual effects and/or compositing in MATE is easy:
a. Menu button — Preferences — Desktop Settings
Click Windows — section Window Manager : change Marco + Compositing into one of the following two options:
— Marco + Compton (recommended). This will cause some speed gain because of the simpler and more lightweight compositor Compton.
— Marco (discouraged). This causes maximal speed gain by disabling all compositing, but it also often causes screen tearing when scrolling through a web page or when watching videos. So there’s a pretty stiff price attached to disabling compositing. Therefore I don’t generally recommend that.
Note: Marco + Compton provides the most simple and therefore lightweight compositor; window manager Metacity and its variations are just a low-performance stopgap for maximum hardware compatibility.
b. Menu button — Preferences — Windows
In that tool, do the following two things:
I. Tab Placement : deselect: Enable window tiling
II. If you’ve changed your window manager into plain Marco without any compositor (and only then!), do this as well:
Tab General : deselect: Enable software compositing window manager
c. Remove the unstable and unreliable Compiz, that you never need in any case:
— Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
— Type (use copy/paste to prevent errors):
sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Xfce: take some load off your graphics card
5.3. Even lightweight champion Xfce has relatively «heavy» compositing by default. Reduce its weight like this:
a. Menu button — Settings — Desktop Settings
Window Manager: change Xfwm4 + Compositing into one of the following two options:
— Xfwm4 + Compton (recommended). This will cause some speed gain because of the simpler and more lightweight compositor Compton.
— Xfwm4 (discouraged). This causes maximal speed gain by disabling all compositing, but it also often causes screen tearing, when scrolling through a web page or when watching videos. So there’s a pretty stiff price attached to disabling compositing. Therefore I don’t generally recommend it.
Note: Marco + Compton provides the most simple and therefore lightweight compositor; window manager Metacity and its variations are just a low-performance stopgap for maximum hardware compatibility.
b. Remove the unstable and unreliable Compiz, that you never need in any case:
— Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
— Type (use copy/paste to prevent errors):
sudo apt-get remove compiz-core
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Add-ons and extensions: don’t turn your web browser into a Christmas tree
6. You can install a lot of add-ons (extensions) in the web browsers Firefox and Google Chrome. Those add-ons can be very useful, but they have a couple of important disadvantages, because they are «applications within an application»:
— they slow your browser down, especially if there are a lot of them;
— they can cause malfunctions, both in each other and in the browser itself;
— it has occurred: add-ons with malicious content. Don’t trust them blindly.
So don’t turn your browser into a Christmas tree: don’t adorn it with lots of add-ons. Limit yourself to only a few add-ons, that are really important for you.
Note: watch out for add-ons that claim that they make your browser faster! Often they do more harm than good. Do not install them: even if one or two of them can really make your browser run noticeably faster, they may damage the stability of your browser.
Limiting the disk write actions of Firefox
7. By default, Firefox writes a lot to the hard disk. This reduces its speed. You can limit the disk write actions of Firefox, by putting the Firefox network cache into the RAM and by disabling sessionstore. Like this:
Putting the Firefox network cache into the RAM
7.1. By moving the Firefox network cache from your hard disk to the RAM, you diminish the amount of disk writes. This’ll probably make your Firefox noticeably faster. The price you pay is small: it’ll only «cost» you 300 MB of your RAM.
Note: don’t do this when your computer has only 2 GB of RAM or less! Because with very little RAM, even 300 MB can’t be missed.
a. Type in the URL bar of Firefox:
about:config
Press Enter.
b. Now you’re being presented with a warning. Ignore it and click on the button «I accept the risk!».
c. Copy/paste the following into the filter bar (search bar):
browser.cache.disk.enable
Toggle its value to false by double-clicking it: this will disable «cache to disk» entirely.
d. Now you’re going to make sure that «cache to RAM» is enabled. Copy/paste the following into the filter bar (search bar):
browser.cache.memory.enable
This should already be set to true ; if not, toggle it to true by double-clicking it.
e. Then you’re going to determine how much memory can be used as RAM cache. Copy/paste this into the filter bar (search bar):
browser.cache.memory.capacity
It should exist already (if not, create it now). The current integer value will probably be -1 , which automates the size of the RAM cache dependent on the amount of RAM. Set it to 307200 (KB, which equals 300 MB). That’s usually enough for all amounts of RAM.
f. Close Firefox and launch it again. You’re done! Check it like this:
Type in the URL bar:
about:cache
Press Enter.
By the way: you’ll then also see a mention of an «appcache» which is still present on the disk, but there’s no need to move that (much less frequently used) cache to the RAM as well.
Note: This is a user preference. Repeat this hack in each user account.
Disabling sessionstore
7.2. Firefox has a session restore feature, which remembers what pages were opened if Firefox experiences an unexpected shutdown (read: crashes). This feature is neat, but causes many disk writes. Disable it like this:
a. Type in the URL bar of Firefox:
b. Now you’re being presented with a warning. Ignore it and click on the button «I accept the risk!».
c. Type in the filter bar: sessionstore
c. Double-click on the item called browser.sessionstore.interval . The default interval is 15000 , which means 15 seconds. Add three zeros to the existing value, so that it becomes: 15000000 and click the OK button.
d. Close Firefox and launch it again. Now you’ve practically disabled the session restore feature.
Note (1): Leave the other cache and sessionstore settings as they are: usually, the less invasive a hack is, the better. Because this reduces the risk of unexpected unwanted side effects.
Note (2): This is a user preference. Repeat this hack in each user account.
Firefox: optimize the Places database from time to time
8. In your Firefox profile there’s an sqlite database called Places, which after a while starts resembling a swollen Swiss cheese with holes. That might slow your Firefox down.
You can speed your Firefox up a bit, by optimizing (vacuuming) that database: you can namely deflate that swollen Swiss cheese into a compact smaller cheese. As follows:
Type the following in the URL bar of Firefox:
Almost at the bottom of the page you get to see then, there’s a header called Places Database . Click there on the button called Verify Integrity .
You’re done! Repeat this on a monthly basis, so that your Firefox won’t lose speed again because of a swollen database.
Lots of RAM (at least 8 GB): put /tmp on tmpfs
9. Does your system have lots of RAM memory? If it has at least 8 GB, then you can probably speed up your system a bit by placing /tmp on a tmpfs partition. Which means, translated into ordinary language: you bring about that temporary files will not be placed on the hard disk anymore, but on a virtual RAM disk instead.
This is how you do it:
a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
b. Copy/paste this blue line into the terminal (it’s one line!):
sudo cp -v /usr/share/systemd/tmp.mount /etc/systemd/system/
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
c. Then copy/paste this command into the terminal:
sudo systemctl enable tmp.mount
d. Reboot your computer.
e. After the reboot: check whether it works, with this terminal command:
systemctl status tmp.mount
By default, a tmpfs partition has its maximum size set to half your total RAM. The actual memory consumption depends on how much you fill it up, as a tmpfs partition doesn’t consume any memory until it is actually needed.
Note: do not apply this on systems with less RAM than 8 GB! Because then this tweak might not make them faster, but (much) slower.
How to undo tmpfs
9.1. Do you wish to undo tmpfs? Then copy/paste this line into the terminal:
sudo rm -v /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Afterwards, reboot your computer.
Speed up your wireless internet (some WiFi chipsets)
10. For some wireless chipsets, a simple tweak is sufficient for increasing the speed and the connection quality of your wireless internet. Namely disabling the power management for the wireless chipset.
The price you pay is obviously an increase in power consumption, although this increase isn’t big.
There are two ways to do it: an easy way and a harder way. Below I describe both methods.
The easiest way: speeding up your WiFi by executing a single command
10.1. The easiest way to speed up your wireless internet connection by disabling power management for the WiFi chipset, goes like this:
a. First you need to find out whether Mint applies power management to your WiFi chipset. For this, launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
b. Type in the terminal:
You can then not only see the name for your wireless chipset (for example: wlp2s0 ), but also whether Power Management is on for it. When it’s off , or when no mention is made of Power Management at all, you don’t need to do anything.
When Power Management is on, proceed as follows:
c. Use copy/paste for transferring the following line into the terminal (don’t try to type it!):
sudo sed -i ‘s/3/2/’ /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
d. Reboot your computer.
e. Then check in the terminal, by the command iwconfig , whether Power Management for the wireless chipset is off now.
The harder way: speeding up your WiFi by editing a file manually
10.2. You can also edit a configuration file by hand, in order to disable power management for the Wifi chipset. It’s a bit more difficult than the method described in item 10.1, but it you can do that as follows:
a. First you need to find out whether Mint applies power management to your wireless chipset. For this, launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
b. Type in the terminal:
You can then not only see the name for your wireless chipset (for example: wlp2s0 ), but also whether Power Management is on for it. When it’s off , or when no mention is made of Power Management at all, you don’t need to do anything.
c. When Power Management is on, proceed as follows.
In order to prevent typo’s, copy/paste this line into the terminal (it’s one line!):
d. Now a text file opens. In that text file, you see the following content:
[connection]wifi.powersave = 3
Save the modified file and close it.
e. Reboot your computer.
f. Then check in the terminal, by the command iwconfig , whether Power Management for the wireless chipset is off now.
Speed up your Intel wireless chipset
11. If you have a (reasonably) modern wireless chipset from Intel, it’ll run on the iwlwifi driver. If so, you might be able to increase its speed noticeably, by turning on Tx AMPDU for it.
The purpose of AMPDU is to improve data transmission by aggregating or grouping together several sets of data. Thus it sharply reduces the amount of transmission overhead.
It used to be «on» by default in the iwlwifi driver. But several years ago, it was turned off because of stability issues on a few wifi chipsets. This problem affects, however, only a minority of chipsets.
For turning it on, proceed like this:
a. First check whether your chipset runs on the iwlwifi driver:
Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
Use copy/paste to transfer this line into the terminal:
lsmod | grep iwlwifi
Does the terminal output contain the word iwlwifi (in red letters)? If so, proceed with the next step.
b. Use copy/paste to transfer the following blue line (it’s one line!) to the terminal. Don’t type it; it’s too easy to make typing errors:
echo «options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8» | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-speed.conf
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Don’t be confused by the name of the option: when it’s set to 8, you don’t actually disable anything but you enable something.
c. Reboot your computer.
d. Finally, check your new wireless speed, for example on speedtest.net.
Has your wifi become unstable? Then undo the iwlwifi hack as described below.
Problems? Then undo it like this
11.1. Does the iwlwifi hack create stability issues for your wifi? Then undo it with the following terminal command:
sudo rm -v /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-speed.conf
Then reboot. All should be then, as it was before.
Remove the search database
12. Especially on low-powered machines, mlocate (which periodically creates a system-wide file search database) can tax the system resources too heavily. That file search database isn’t very useful anyway, so you might benefit from removing mlocate (or locate , if that’s installed instead of mlocate ).
For that, proceed as follows:
a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
b. Copy/paste this blue line into the terminal:
sudo apt-get purge mlocate locate
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Problems? Then undo it like this
12.1. Does removing mlocate cause any problems for you? Then re-install it with the following terminal command:
sudo apt-get install mlocate
All should be then, as it was before.
Turn off the firewall log
13. Have you enabled the firewall ufw (which is recommended)? Then you’ll probably never look at its logs, so it won’t hurt to turn off all logging by the firewall. Especially because it can be rather spammy sometimes. Turning off its log can save some system resources and disk space, and can be done like this:
a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
b. Copy/paste this blue line into the terminal:
sudo ufw logging off
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Regrets? Then turn firewall logging on again like this
13.1. Do you want to enable logging by the firewall again? Then use the following terminal command to turn firewall logging on again with the default amount of activity (low):
sudo ufw logging low
All should be then, as it was before.
Tame the thumbnail feature
14. For each displayed local picture, Mint automatically creates a thumbnail, for easy browsing in the file manager. This might impact performance, when you’re dealing with a lot of pictures. Furthermore, it’s a usual suspect for memory leaks. This is how to tame this feature a bit:
a. In Mint Cinnamon’s file manager, Nemo, you can reduce the activity of the thumbnailer service as follows:
Launch your file manager (Nemo) — panel: Edit — Preferences
Tab Preview — section Previewable files — Only for files smaller than: change that to 5 MB .
Note: On very old and slow machines it’s better to disable thumbnailing entirely in that dialog window, by setting Show thumbnails: to No (instead of the default setting, which is Local Files Only )
b. You can also install a small stand-alone file manager called SpaceFM, which behaves itself a bit better with thumbnails than Cinnamon’s Nemo or MATE’s Caja. For that, proceed like this:
First install the GTK3 edition of SpaceFM (not the default GTK2 edition). In the terminal:
sudo apt-get install spacefm-gtk3
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
Launch SpaceFM, open a folder with images in it, and then in its panel: View — Preferences — tab General : select Show Thumbnails
Increase battery life by disabling the Bluetooth driver
15. If you rarely use Bluetooth, you can probably increase the battery life of your laptop a lot by disabling the Bluetooth driver (instead of simply disabling the Bluetooth feature). Like this:
a. Launch a terminal window.
(You can launch a terminal window like this: *Click*)
b. Copy/paste this blue line into the terminal (it’s one line!):
echo «blacklist btusb» | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bluetooth.conf
Press Enter. Type your password when prompted. In Ubuntu this remains entirely invisible, not even dots will show when you type it, that’s normal. In Mint this has changed: you’ll see asterisks when you type. Press Enter again.
c. Reboot your computer.
How to undo (re-enabling Bluetooth support)
15.1. Do you want to enable Bluetooth again? Then proceed as follows:
a. Temporary re-enabling Bluetooth can be done with this terminal command:
sudo modprobe -v btusb
This will instantly re-enable Bluetooth, but it won’t survive a reboot.
b. Permanent re-enabling of Bluetooth can be achieved by the following terminal command which removes the Bluetooth module from the blacklist:
sudo rm -v /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bluetooth.conf
Then reboot your computer. Bluetooth should be available again permanently.
Clean up your Mint
16. A clean Mint will perform better than a Mint that has become polluted too much by file debris and disordered settings (although pollution is much less of a problem than in Windows). This is how to clean Linux Mint.
