| 1425526 | 2016-09-13 00:00:00 | I just found this. https://www.reactos.org/ I wonder if it's worth a try? First I've heard of it. Interesting. |

| 1425528 | 2016-09-13 02:20:00 | @B.M. If your interested in trying other distros I would certainly recommend Kubuntu. KDE is the best, most configurable desktop available in Linux. You can make it look like just about anything. I have mine looking a lot like Windows 7 which I think is the prettiest OS Microsoft have ever made. We have a really friendly and helpful forum too: Kubuntu Forums (www.kubuntuforums.net). That's where I mostly hang out nowadays. Kubuntu can be dowloaded from here: http://www.kubuntu.org/ I'd recommend the LTS (Long Term Support) versions as they are the most stable. | Rod J (451) | ||
| 1425529 | 2016-09-13 02:35:00 | I just took a screenshot of my Kubuntu 16.04 Plasma5 desktop just now. I'm experimenting with this new install getting it looking how I want. 7427 |

| 1425530 | 2016-09-13 03:48:00 | I think I'll have a look at that, got a spare system here. I find Linux excellent for downloading game files. A lot of them come with unwanted attachments that don't seem to stick to the Linux like they would in Windows. |

Sounds like a good idea to me Rod. :thumbs: The good thing about playing with them on a completely separate drive is you can format and reinstall so easy. If somebody works out what is going on with Mint then it's easy enough to do a reinstall and see what happens. I'll burn a Kabuntu disk and get back one way or other. Hold the phone. :D |

| 1425533 | 2016-09-13 06:07:00 | I would install pavucontrol (pulseaudio volume control). To try and sort the microphone out. | Kame (312) | ||
| 1425534 | 2016-09-13 08:57:00 | I would install pavucontrol (pulseaudio volume control). To try and sort the microphone out. Sounds good to me Kame. Is there somewhere special to download it from or is it already there and just needs to be installed? |
B.M. (505) | ||
| 1425535 | 2016-09-13 09:07:00 | Search for pavucontrol in the package manager (Software Manager or Synaptic). Or in the Terminal this should work: sudo apt install pavucontrol It may already be installed (it is here in Kubuntu). It is a command line tool, try man pavucontrol to see how to use it. |
