Yesterday, I already answered you properly, in your first message.

So, please don't ask the same question in three different threads. It is very rude, and also creates useless and unnecessary threads.

In sparkylinux-2024.02-x86_64-mate.iso, galculator is pre-installed as the default calculator app, which has its last update nine years ago. It is probably out-of-date. Instead, mate-calc is the native calculator application in mate desktop.

I think, the most recommended version for you, is MinimalGUI i686

The issue I have with UC is with the installation of all the extensions, Chrome Web Store included, causing flickering; I have switched to Mozilla Firefox and maybe when Chrome starts losing users will be more than happy...

Last post by Henry1 - February 19, 2024, 09:02:27 PM
Hi Pavroo,

The latest 2 versions of Ungoogled Chromium gave me troubles with the installation of the extensions of Chrome Web Store, Google Translator e Ublock origin; I am on Sparkylinux 7.2 xfce on Hp650 notebook; after flickering the computer freezes and have to exit and re-enter; has anything changed with Chrome Web Store? Even enabling developer mode there is display flickering and have to try 2-3 times before all these extensions are installed; I don't know if it's my problem, is UC or the Chrome Web Store; I can't find this issue on internet and I don't know if the latest version 121.0.6167.184-1.1 has solved this problem.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Henry

Hello to all. Love Sparky Linux. I would like to remove the weather add-on plug in. It is not working properly. I tried to delete it instead it closes the dock. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
