Well this was a fun way to start my day. I was trying to install Davinci Resolve on my Mint PC (since Mint 22 broke some of Resolves dependencies), and it was still giving the warning of missing dependencies.

One of the dependencies libasound2 couldn’t install but apt recommended 2 others. Tried both and non worked. So I decided to uninstall both, and then Cinnamon Setting disappeared. I tried to fix it by reinstalling Cinnamon itself, but yeah… on reboot it would crash on the Mint file check.

However after trying the Recovery mode to get access to the terminal. I was able to access Timeshift, get the backup from yesterday and I’m back up and running.

So happy I enabled Timeshift. Hurray for safety nets actually working to protect me from myself.

    You’re wrong. Your distro has Nautilus, Dolphin, Thunar and/or PCManFM in its repos. Install one of them, open it and you’ll see folders.

        Doesn’t change the fact that they’re in your distro - waiting… lurking…
