Ok, I have NewPipe installed and it's working but I don't where it's apk is located or how to replace it.

I'm currently using Cinnamon because I thought it would be better than Xfce. While I do think that Cinnamon looks better, there were some minor things that I preferred with Xfce. I want to try Mate and maybe some of the other DEs if I can find a good distro that has them but I may go back to Xfce the next time I install Linux Mint.
So far just one and that user was banned so the block doesn't really mean anything. I don't really have a reason to block users, I just blocked that one user because they were spamming some images and videos that had "extreme" content.
The only thing I use as a backup is a Live CD that's mounted to a USB thumb drive.
I used to use Timeshift but the one time I needed it, it didn't work for some reason. It also had a problem of making my PC temporarily unusable while it was making a backup, so I didn't enable it when I had to reinstall Linux Mint.
I'll keep it brief because I know that this kind of stuff is very triggering for some people but when I was in elementary school, my dad was an alcoholic. One year on my birthday, we decided to go out of town so we can eat at a restaurant that we didn't have and buy some games from GameStop. Long story short, right before we reached our destination, my dad for a reason that I don't remember (assuming there was one), decided to start physically abusing both my mom and my sister. So we ended up just going right back home and we just ordered pizza.
Something that I considered doing with a similar laptop, was to use it as a low-end portable gaming system. I'd take a lightweight Linux distro, like the 32-bit version of Q4OS if it's system requirements are lower than your current setup, and get it loaded with a bunch of games with low system requirements and retro emulators. Obviously, it wont be anywhere near as powerful as your main computer (if you have one) but because it's portable, there could be some value in having a portable gaming pc (unless you have something like the Steam Deck).
I'm not sure what you mean by tactical shooter but flathub has a subcategory for shooters in the games category. While half of them are source ports of Doom, Quake and some other games, there are a few games I've looked into that seem interesting. So far I've only played Empty Clip and that's a pretty good top down shooter with rpg elements but games like Red Eclipse and Tremulous look pretty interesting as well.
I was gifted an unopened pack of 3.5" floppy disks. What should I do with them? (wrong answers only)
You could use them as a memory card for ps1 games.
To some extent. For audio, I don't really have to much experience with expensive headphones/earbuds but I do notice a difference. I still usually go with cheaper headphones though because the difference in audio quality and durability aren't really enough to justify the price difference.
For visuals in games, I do prefer to have the best experience but what settings I use depends on the game. There are some settings that are universal to me, like for example, if anti-aliasing is available, I always have it set to 2x (or 1.5x if the game has it) because every option for anti-aliasing in every game I've tried looks exactly the same to me, so going higher is just a waste of system resources. For similar reasons, while both of my monitors support higher resolutions, I still prefer to use 720/768p.
I think the only time I really don't care about visual quality, is just when I'm watching videos online.
Yeah that's it. Also, I think I know why I couldn't find anything about it, it's because it's part of a pack of games and not a stand-alone game. It's also weird that I don't remember any of the other games from that collection.
It might not be the first but my oldest memory of playing a game was a very old pc game that I can't remember much about and I've never been able to actually find anything about it anywhere. All I remember is that it was a game that had colored rats on conveyor belts and you had to sort them. I'm pretty sure it had a top down perspective as the conveyor belts would loop back to where the rats came from.

Is Linux Mint's package repository having issues or is the problem on my end? (Solved, I think)
(lemmy.ml)
Edit: Last night, I used the "Fix MergeList problems" option in the maintenance tab of software sources and at least for now, it seems to be working. So I probably wont need help with this anymore, hopefully.
Every hour or two, the Update Manager keeps giving me an error message saying that my APT configuration is corrupt and that I should switch to another Linux Mint mirror. It usually goes away when I do a manual refresh but it just keeps coming back. I have also tried switching to a different mirror but I get the same error. It also tells me to run apt-get update but even if I add "sudo" it just gives me an error message saying to run apt-get update.
It happened again so I'm adding screenshots in case they help. The first is the initial error, then it's the error I get when I try to change the repository and the third is the error I get when I try running the command it suggested:

I'm trying to run VirtualBox in Linux Mint but I keep getting an error message about Kernel drivers.
(lemmy.ml)
I tried looking into this myself but I couldn't really find much about this error. The only solutions I could find didn't work for me. The first one was to use mokutil but at the point where I was supposed to run sudo mokutil --import MOK.der it gives me the error message "Failed to get file status, MOK.der" even though I did everything it told me to do. The other one was to disable secure boot and then run sudo '/sbin/vboxconfig' but even though it looked like it worked, I'm still getting the error message. I have re-enabled secure boot, so you don't have to worry about that.
Is there something else I can try or does VirtualBox not work in Linux Mint for some reason?

I was able to find it's apk but none of the apks I replaced it with worked. So either the apps I have don't work in ATL or there is some issue specifically with NewPipe's flatpak.
