How to fix possible missing firmware warning during kernel update on Linux Mint

If you are running default kernel with your Ubuntu or Linux Mint installation, you probably won’t face this problem during kernel updates because all packages are coming from the official distribution sources. However, if you like to run the newest Linux kernels and update them using mainline kernel installer, you may get warning possible missing firmware during the installation.

Add Google search engine to your Linux Mint

I had a problem recently not being able to set Google as default search engine in Firefox of my Linux Mint installation. It is not that I like Google that much, it is actually opposite, but DuckDuckGo as default search engine doesn’t give me the satisfying search so it seems it is not possible to skip Google tracking and keep your privacy, at least not at this moment.
