Linux Mint is the best Linux distro I've ever tried! Ubuntu isn't very user-friendly, more like macOS. Linux Mint, on the other hand, is heaven! It's as comfortable and configurable as Windows! By the way, Linux Mint probably loses a lot of potential users because of its confusing versioning. They call their latest release Linux Mint 22, while it's actually based on Ubuntu 24! So, Linux Mint 22 is not outdated; it does not lag behind LTS Ubuntu. It's modern and ready to use with the newest Ubuntu features! When I first saw that Mint was version 22, I thought it was based on Ubuntu 22, which is more than two years old. This disappointed me, so I just installed Ubuntu 24. Then, after a lot of problems with Ubuntu 24, I decided to give Mint 22 a shot. That's when I suddenly discovered that it's actually based on Ubuntu 24 and not Ubuntu 22! I'm sure that Linux Mint should sync its major versioning with Ubuntu because the lower number scares people off and makes them think it's outdated when, in reality, it's modern and almost perfect!

Enable the firewall: List open ports: sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN Allow only needed: sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # Allow SSH connections sudo ufw allow 80/tcp # Allow HTTP connections sudo ufw allow 443/tcp # Allow HTTPS connections You can also restrict access to specific IP addresses or subnets: sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.10 to any port 22 # Only allow SSH from this IP sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 to any port 443 # Allow HTTPS from this subnet Verify Firewall Status: Check the firewall rules you've set: sudo ufw status verbose sudo ufw enable UFW's default policy is to deny incoming connections and allow outgoing connections. This is generally what you want. Only open ports you explicitly need. Optional: Configure it to open only the necessary ports (if needed at all). Remove any unnecessary preinstalled software. Update the software to the latest versions: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y Disable the printing service if it's not needed: sudo systemctl mask cups sudo systemctl mask cups-browsed Then, reboot the system. If you need it later, you can re-enable it: sudo systemctl unmask cups sudo systemctl unmask cups-browsed Then, reboot the system or run: sudo systemctl start cups or sudo systemctl start cups-browsed depending on your needs. In all installed browsers: Enable the "HTTPS-Only" option, which disables unencrypted connections. Enable encrypted DNS (DoH). Disable third-party cookies.

What is Screen Mirroring? Screen mirroring is a technology that allows you to display the content of your device's screen on another screen, wirelessly. It's like having a magic mirror that shows exactly what's on your phone, tablet, or computer on a bigger display for everyone to see! Screen Mirroring Technologies Miracast Miracast is like a universal language for screen mirroring. It works with many devices and doesn't need a Wi-Fi network. If your devices are Miracast-compatible, select your TV from the device's screen mirroring settings, and you're good to go. Chromecast Chromecast is a casting technology from Google. It's available built-in in many TVs, allowing you to mirror your screen, cast videos, music, and more from your phone or computer to your TV. Just tap the Cast icon in any Chromecast-enabled app and start streaming. Additionally, Chromecast is available as an HDMI-plugging device, which allows you to turn any HDMI-compatible device into a Chromecast-compatible one. Airplay Airplay is Apple's proprietary way of sharing content across devices. You can stream music, videos, or mirror your device's screen to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible smart TV. Screen Mirroring from Android Android devices have different ways to mirror screens: Chromecast: If you have a Chromecast-compatible device or TV, open the Google Home app and tap the device you want to cast your screen to. Miracast: This is like Wi-Fi for your screen! Just go to your Android's settings, find the Cast or Screen Mirroring option, and choose your Miracast-compatible TV. Screen Mirroring from Windows Windows 11 makes it a breeze with the Cast app: Press the Windows key + K. Pick your Miracast-compatible display from the list, and voilà! Please note that the Wireless Screen/Cast feature in Windows only supports casting to Miracast-compatible devices and is not compatible with AirPlay or Chromecast as of 2024. Screen Mirroring from iPhone iPhones use a feature called AirPlay to mirror screens. It's super easy: Connect your iPhone and your AirPlay-compatible TV to the same Wi-Fi network. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your iPhone to open the Control Center. Tap the Screen Mirroring icon. Select your AirPlay-compatible TV from the list, and you're all set! The one potential problem is that many TVs, monitors, and projectors do not support AirPlay, as it is proprietary technology from Apple. In such cases, there are some workarounds, such as Miracast or Chromecast-compatible screen mirroring apps. Screen Mirroring from Mac Macs also use AirPlay for screen mirroring: Click the Control Center icon in the menu bar. Click Screen Mirroring. Choose your TV, and enjoy! How to check which Wireless Screen Technology is supported by my TV? To determine which screen mirroring technologies your TV supports, follow these steps: Check the User Manual or Manufacturer's Website: Refer to your TV's user manual or visit the manufacturer's support website. Look for specifications and features related to screen mirroring or wireless display. Search online using your TV model number along with the term "screen mirroring" to find specific information. Access TV Settings: Use your TV remote to access the settings menu. The exact steps may vary based on your TV's brand and model. Look for options related to "Display," "Screen Mirroring," "Cast," or similar terms. Check the Source/Input Options: Press the "Source" button on your remote control. Look for options like "Screen Mirroring," "Miracast," or "AirPlay." Some TVs automatically switch to TV or HDMI mode when screen mirroring is available. Remember that not all smart TVs have built-in screen mirroring capabilities. It depends on the manufacturer, model, and operating system. If your TV doesn't support it natively, you can explore external devices like Chromecast or Miracast to enable screen mirroring.

This is what Sean Pelletier from Nvidia says: So if you're not playing games and you're working in creative software you'd better choose Studio Driver, because it will give performance improvements for your apps before they will be available in Game Ready Driver, for example in one of updates CR performance boost was: Up to 13% in Blender Cycles Up to 9% in Adobe Photoshop CC Up to 9% in Adobe Premiere Pro CC Up to 8% in CINEMA 4D

I found what there is two types of drivers by Nvidia is available for my video processor: Game Ready Driver (GRD) and Studio Driver (SD). But what's the difference between the two drivers? Will the Studio Driver driver provide any noticeable performance boost in Adobe Premiere Pro comparing to Game Ready Driver driver?
