If you want Ubiquity to not install grub, running “ubiquity -b” will be of use to you. In my experience, it hasn’t stopped Ubuntu from automatically mounting my EFI partition when I log into my Ubuntu partition, but it does prevent Ubuntu from overwriting the existing GRUB on the EFI partition. I hope this helps. -Mark Destination Linux Apparel Admin A big thank you to each and every one of you for supporting us and Thank you For Watching Destination Linux Have a great week and remember the Journey ITSELF is just as important as the Destination

Official Adobe Flash included on the iso, with permission from Adobe. MX-Flash is not on the iso and is now deprecated.

Cinnamon Spices Cinnamon Spices website was rewritten from scratch The goal wasn’t only to make it look better. More secure than before and attempting to guarantee better quality and better compatibility The site supports oauth authentication via Google, Facebook and Github so you can  comment and like your favorite spices The maintenance of the spices themselves was moved to Github and every single change is now reviewed by the Linux Mint team to guarantee spices cannot be used for malicious purposes Anyone can provide bug fixes and translations to Cinnamon spices Both the Authors and the Linux Mint team is now directly involved in the maintenance of all Cinnamon spices. Many spices were removed, many were fixed, many were updated and the team is now able to add support to spices not only for current versions of Cinnamon but even for upcoming ones. We’re getting closer and closer to a situation where everything “just works”, where quality spices are easy to find and where they work in your language.

Adds PPA’s, etc like welcome. But a 3rd party – may want to check what it is adding. Seems to need a lot of BG access – expected. Some of the option like repairing PPA actually rely on other tools that need to be installed from 3rd party PPA’s – but no dependency, just not found – like the y-ppa-manager, but available in the options to install. Chrome 59 arrives with… Some updates for the other OS’s like mac notifications 30 some bug fixes To avoid over-prompting users, Chrome will now temp stop an origin from requesting a permission following the third dismissal of that permission request. Some cosmetic changes like a material design overhaul in the settings page The Image Capture API allows higher resolution images than before. That means developers get full control over camera settings such as zoom, ISO, and white balance.
