[xubuntu-users] 32 bit or 64 bit motherboard P5KPL-AM IN/GB [ASUSTek]

I'd be grateful if someone could advise if i can run Xubuntu 64 bit on this machine. Reading the manual it mentions about running 32 bit windows and then also stating one can run 64 bit windows. I've left 32 bit Xubuntu on there. Now i need to install latest jammy jellyfish LTS which is 64 bit.

[xubuntu-users] USB boot disc?

I have just found that the CD-ROM of mine seems to have died just when i wanted to install the last version of xubuntu. So haven't been able to burn a CD. Installed USB-CREATOR and followed the instructions [all seemed to copy over ok] but the flashdrive does not seem to boot up. I have been into

[xubuntu-users] Evolution - email address colours

I have been using Evolution as an email client for sometime now. One thing that irritates me is the email address being in green/hi-viz colour. It's a bit sharp on the eyes. I would like to change it to black or blue... or a less sharp colour. I contacted the Evolution group who responded saying

I was wondering if using wine was possible to use for map updates. For about three years I have been using OpenStreet map data which I found excellent on a 52LM (about 4-5 years old now). More recently I decided to get a 65LM as for me the bigger screen is a benefit for my work. It was a

[xubuntu-users] Garmin sat nav updates

For over four years I have been able to update my sat nav 52LM model with Openstreetmap data each month which has worked fine with Linux. I also think OSM is better than either TomTom or Garmin maps. Only use Xubuntu so have not been able to do Garmin Express updates as a windows PC is required.
