So, this sucks. On Mint, Firefox was running super sluggish to the point of being unusable. I reinstalled Ubuntucinnamon because I enjoyed using it when I had it installed, but between me last having it installed and now there seems to have been an update that has broken cinnamon’s system tray. Which, for me, is a major functionality.

I really don’t want to twiddle my thumbs waiting and trying to figure out why shit isn’t working right, but I really do like the cinnamon de. ugh

ideas?

    You might see this suggestion twice - do a clean install, not just the OS. Back up your home directory and start fresh, move over what you need from the backup piecemeal so you can tell if something is causing issues.

      Well, the Mint install was doing that from Fresh. More concerned with ubuntu cinnamon though as I prefer it. Both times I attempted an install on that were from freshly formatted drives and the only things I had installed was steam and discord. Still the only things I have installed really. First install was from a 22.04 iso image and then upgraded from the desktop to 23. Second attempt was with an actual 23 image. It was broken right out of the box.

          Between a 1-5 second delay before anything internet related would start loading. So, I’d wait the 1-5 seconds and then it would actually start loading content.

            Content as in within the web-browser? So maybe it’s a Firefox issue? Or are you talking about something else?

                  Yeah, I think I’m throwing in the towel with ubuntu cinnamon. There are more and more bugs popping up now. I don’t know how in the world it was so stable before and now it’s a fucking mess.

                  So if that issue is still there on Mint I guess we’re about to find out.

                  EDIT: And I’m back and the Mint issue persists. sigh
