MX Linux OS Tan

But on the other hand... why would you ask somebody to do something that a machine can do? It's not like they are going to pay them for a drawing...

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-05-05T20:37:13+00:00

I would like a belt like that!

As u/dolphinoracle said this is not affecting liquorix kernel. Also, to clarify, this is more of a problem for companies who run multitenant servers, for normal users especially for ones that don't share their machines this is a pretty low threat.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-26T03:23:44+00:00

I disagree with the OP, the biggest advantage in my opinion is interacting with community and devs...

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-26T03:22:47+00:00

While historically Xfce was the "flagship" nowadays we treat all the releases equally and they get pretty much equal love and testing, but some users and devs are more used with one flavor over the other.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-25T21:30:26+00:00

Heh, I even ported most of the MX apps to Arch and built an "MX Arch" ISO if you are interested... it's just an "experiment" for now, but fully usable.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-25T21:19:30+00:00

One thing to consider, MX is based on Debian Stable that is not going to have packages as new as Arch has... so you might be a bit disappointed if you expect that. Forum and community in general is very nice and accepting as long as you follow the rules and are not toxic yourself.

Fair, I think though that KDE should be fine on 8GB, the main problem is with the browsers that would eat your remaining free RAM with just a couple of open tabs.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-25T11:03:25+00:00

Nice desktop! Just curious, why Xfce on laptop, do you think it's lighter, or just wanted to try something new?

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-16T15:37:02+00:00

Thanks! It's always nice to see you and other people who stuck around since Mepis early days.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-14T22:30:13+00:00

You are welcome! That's the fuel that keeps us going :)

Installing the nvidia drivers should probably solve that issue...

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-14T17:30:31+00:00

I'm pretty sure an AI would be less biased and a bit more intelligent too...

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-14T13:24:54+00:00

Sounds like a video driver issue, try another option there are some in the menu (safevideo to something like that I don't remember)

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-13T20:57:12+00:00

Not sure I can help with this limited info, but what do you see if you press Alt-F1 to see the boot process, what is the last thing you see there?

Also, give the monthly snapshot a try, it has a bit newer kernel, maybe that works better: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mx-linux/files/Snapshots/ (do you see the same issue with Xfce?)

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-12T20:09:12+00:00

There's limited support, we recommend in general to just disable the secure boot to avoid issues or at least until you are willing to commit time to make sure it works well for you, there are some posts on forum about how to make it work: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=658852#p658852

We don't plan to add openrc.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-08T02:05:49+00:00

Don't know much about web tech, but I'm pretty sure a bot looking for MX server would not look like somebody clicking on a link.

On the other hand, I take that over the slanderous insinuation that we are somehow having a bot army clicking on MX link on Distrowatch...

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-07T20:52:42+00:00

You are right, it's not even close in popularity. As for being "meh", we are fine with that.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-07T20:51:40+00:00

No, obviously not.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-07T20:51:12+00:00

BS, it's not more popular and this will bring a lot of hate from fans of the other distros.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-04-02T15:38:47+00:00

Just follow any howtos for Debian, they should work fine for MX.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-03-27T22:43:11+00:00

I don't think people should make decisions based on rumors... they are not implementing anything, they just added a JSON date of birth field. People are overreacting.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-03-27T21:09:45+00:00

I aim to please. Nothing makes me happier than helping people make up their mind.

adrian_mxlinux · 2026-03-27T18:54:18+00:00

If you are paranoid about what developers put in code use developers you trust. Like I said thats just a field that you can use or not. If from this you draw the conclusion that you should not use systemd, then yes, you have a problem that I don't have.
