Lisa Kalayji<p>Do folks have a fave Linux user guide (for just basic "getting the OS to work and keep working", not any other fancy tricks)? My understanding is that Mint is the best distro for end users with no interest in learning tech wizardry or command line shenanigans, but even Mint's user guide isn't really a manual that ordinary people could follow without doing a lot of searching and forum-crawling to make sense of things or figure out how to actually carry out the guide's instructions. I'm not going to be able to convince people to switch from Windows if they have to invest this much time and learn this much new stuff.</p><p><a href="https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mintupdate.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">linuxmint-user-guide.readthedo</span><span class="invisible">cs.io/en/latest/mintupdate.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a></p>

Bob Irving<p>OK, <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/rclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rclone</span></a> people. How do I add an additional directory to my copy command? In other words, adding Downloads to my Documents to copy to Google Drive. Got it working for Documents. Downloads is on the same directory level as Documents. Running <a href="https://pkm.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a> 22.1 and rclone 1.69.1. TIA for any assistance you can offer!</p>
Tom<p>Ich würde mir gerne bei Mailbox.org einen Sieve-Filter für Emails von Google-Adressen einrichten. Praktisch so wie unter nachfolgendem Link beschrieben: <a href="https://www.kuketz-blog.de/mailbox-org-gmail-auto-responder/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">kuketz-blog.de/mailbox-org-gma</span><span class="invisible">il-auto-responder/</span></a> Jedoch finde ich keine Programme, um dies zu machen. Das von Mike erwähnte Addon für Thunderbird läuft unter meinem aktuellen Thunderbird nicht. Hat jemand einen Vorschlag wie ich unter <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxMint</span></a> vorgehen könnte?
