Glad you are having success. Even .1 version update can be significant. Best wishes for next year. Rod On Fri, 7 Dec 2018 at 09:18, tom butz <thomas.butz68(a)gmail.com> wrote:
Linux Mint 19.1 works well using my laptop (Toshiba Z930 6 GB RAM) and a USB3 connection to a 500G USB3-harddisk. I first tried a fast 10-speed 64GB SD-card, but that actually seemed to be slower - and the SD-card would have worn out in the end. For some reason Mint has got a swapFILE in the root directory - pretty hard on the SD-card.
I haven't got USB3.1 (yet).
19.1 supports Bluetooth in both directions: under Mint 19, I couldn't send from Mint to my Android phone (Android 7.1)
19.1 also features snapshots. I didn't have to test them as I prefer to run Mint off my laptop (no power-cuts there). Occasionally I run it off my MacMini (8 GB of RAM, OS 10.7.5).
The MacOS is too old for many things, and to avoid having to buy new Mac gear, I 'upgraded' by running Mint on it.
