Thank you

Using fish 🤢

Worthless!

what is that icon pack you are using?

been using mint for 10 years but I'll give mx a chance, these tools are very appealing

The distribution tools are key, that's what make it an OS/distribution

No I don't love it at all.

Why cannot it look decent out of the box ?

Excellent!!!

Is there a good auto tiling extension, like pop os?

discovered fish a few months ago - seriously INSTALL THIS NOW. Absolutely bonkers quality of life improvements, regardless of your terminal proficiency.

Great vid. but, Stuck at moving "sudo mv /home /home1", getting error message that states " Device or resource busy". Can you advise me on how to make this work? Using Mint 21.3 Thank you

Thank you so much !!

MX Linux looks fine, but I'm a little suspicious of it always winding up on top of distrowatch.

It has been brought to my attention that nano has some very specific reasons for working the way it does. While I do still stand by the great features that micro includes out-of-the-box, it is important to recognize that nano’s unique functionality and keybindings do allow for some very powerful workflows.

I am 80 years old, and I have been using Linux for a long time.. I have never heard of MX Linux.....

I use bluetooth for the sound. MX forgets every time that I shutdown and I have to reset my speaker.

Thanks for the tutorial, I was able to use this 2 years after the video

My two main loves are MX and LMDE.

One of the reasons I don’t like or use GNOME is that “double super key” stuff. I can’t find the first super key’s screen useful. I’d rather see only ONE screen with the spaces on top and apps at the bottom.

I have Linux on one m.2 drive and Windows on a second m.2 drive, and am using a 3rd SSD for my User folders in Windows. I would like to use this 3rd drive for both systems though... it's NTFS. Am I able to move my Linux pictures, music, downloads, folders (not the entire Home dir) to this drive, or does it have to be EXT4? I already have it auto-mounting at boot. Thanks!

It uses lua, thats it, I'm using micro from now on.

How did you get the dark theme to work on Strawberry ??

Worst experience.

i was a distro hopper just for fun for about 6 months. i tried out 100+ different ones just to see what kind of stuff people were doing. when i landed on mx linux i stopped. its exactly what i wanted. an os that seems like it was designed by a system administrator!

It doesn't have syntax highlighting for *.conf-files, which are commonly used under Linux, but for *.ini-files. Why?????

About 8 years ago I gradually switched to Linux from " WinDose ". I did it by installing various Linux Distros on an older, meaning a 2009 machine, that WinDose insisted was obsolete! Once comfortable with my knowledge level I wiped out Win10 on my newest machine, a 2015 Acer laptop with an Intel Pentium 5 2-core CPU and 4 GB of slow RAM. I installed MX19.4 on it and was amazed by its newfound life. It was quick in comparison to Win10! With that experience, I was emboldened to load Peppermint Linux10 onto an SSD drive in a 2012 Tower machine with a pre-existing Win8.1 on a 4Tb spinner making this my first ever proper dual boot machine. The plan is to replace those two drives with 2 SSD drives, one smaller than the other, to install MX 23 as the ROOT (/) drive and the larger drive for (/home). I should be able then to install the former two drives into a 3rd machine, of 2009 vintage, and have Peppermint 10 automatically recognized. Before upgrading it to Debebian 12/Peppermint 11 I will migrate the /home partition to an EXT4 partition on the 4Tb spinner and install the upgraded Debian 12/Peppermint 11. I had saved all of my old machines that WinDose said were garbage because of my experience in the past of dabbling in RedHat 3 business edition. There is a 4rth machine, of unknown vintage, that will receive new life from perhaps a Zorin Linux OS. I'm now almost 68 years old. I can learn because I want to. It may have taken me more than 8 years to get to this level of comfort with Linux so you can too. Am I an " IT " guy like DT at DistroTube or Chris of Chris Titus Tech? Nope! I'm a school bus driver with a grade 12 education! If I can learn you can learn!

Tried micro and out the box I tried to open an apache .conf file. No syntax highlighting. I've used VIM for over 10 years and it kills Nano and Micro once you learn it.

This distro is just horrible!

So many extensions, and so little time to try them out.

Well I attempted to try Micro but almost immediately ran into a problem. I am a MacOS user and I use iTerm2 as my terminal software. When I ssh into a remote system that has nano installed, if I load a document and want to copy text all I need to do is highlight it with my mouse, and the text gets copied to my Mac clipboard. It could not be any easier. But in Micro, not only does highlighting the text not copy it to the clipboard, but even if you try to manually copy the text it does not seem to work, in fact I could not find ANY way to copy text from Micro. The other issue is the line numbers at the left; in some cases they are distracting and I don't see any way to toggle that display on and off. So I guess I will stick with Nano - I could probably live with the line numbers if I had to, but not the inability to copy text (again this is using iTerm2 over a ssh connection to another system; it may work locally or it may work using a different terminal program, but if so that's irrelevant).

this is a great video showing the ease-of-use of MX Linux. this is my daily driver. Would you please create a video showing how you styled the XFCE using the built-in GUIs, thankyou.

Thanks for the video, so I have joined your channel to see more cheers Bob in the UK

I would be very interested in an update video when the full version releases.

Any tips for battery consumption on a laptop using Linux mx? Seems the battery doesn't last as long using Linux but this could be the laptop (Acer aspire v5)

I prefer the aesthetics of the old unity dash from 16.04. This new side panel just doesn't feel right.

How much space is required for / and /home if we partition manually?

I have a problem with zorin 17. in 16 the touchscreen on my asus machine worked fine but not in 17.

I'm done with Nano, thanks!

I have been testing and trying for the better part of 4 years now. Hundreds of distros. Linux is a frustrating thing because you will never find every part that you want or like together in one distro. Not even if you fiddle around with it. MX Linux was one of the first that appealed to me back in 2020 and I have now come full circle. I am a DOS and Windows user since 1992. I know my stuff, but I am not a trained admin. I am what you could call an intermediate user. Maybe almost a poweruser. Most distros I looked at gave me the impression that Linux has a me-shaped hole. It's either toned down and foolproof or for people whose actual hobby is their OS. MX Linux fits exactly in this gap. It hide nothing from me, it provides me a lot of tools that I am used to but it doesn't bury them in the scary dark depths of the console. It's the best option for people like me who come over from Windows but have some customization and application ambitions. For those who have none, well LMDE it is... So I fill go full MX Linux until end of 2020 with all my computers (which are sveral). But what I still can't make up my mind about is KDE or XFCE. KDE is so tempting because with some considerable effort I can make it look EXACTLY like my beloved Aero Glass. But XFCE seems to be way better integrated with MX Linux itself.

They really need to get it running natively under Windows VM. The only options inside of that are Ubuntu. I tried to install it into Windows VM using the ISO and it wouldn't boot. My Zorin 16 install direct to an SSD as boot drive went pear shaped after a week or two of using it, the software installer store or package manager whatever installed stuff but they were always broken. When I tried to run the upgrader tool to 17 it didn't work at all. I really want Zorin to be a Windows replacement but it's just not there yet. It needs to be able to run Windows apps... natively. My video editor. My steam games. Paint dot neet. Yes, it's got ports of Firefox, VLC, Audacity, that run natively on Linux... but you need it to be able to run Windows apps... because many things don't have a Linux port... Sony Vegas, for example. I saw it had a port of Steam, but I never got it working... Also, it needs to default to using a dark theme, because trying to navigate it while I was blind to change it to a dark theme... was a blinding blazing white nightmare. People with visual impairments can not tolerate light themes, it's like staring at the sun to them. You literally can not read the words on the screen because the pixels next to the shapes of the letters blaze them out. Clicking through all those installation dialog boxes during install with a light theme was an absolute hellscape. If there's one thing that needs to be pounded into developers... dark theme.... dark theme... dark theme everything. There was a reason old computer terminals were always green or orange or white characters on black.... it was for the visually impaired and to reduce eye strain. That big mountain desktop wallpaper on your video, for example, needs to go, if it were a default install, and be replaced by solid black. Those dialog boxes... need to be black background with white text, not Macintosh black text on white background... To you it may look pretty and aesthetically pleasing, but to a visually impaired person, that is a 100% unusable OS install.

Since I started using Linux, had used to use fish shell and personally, I haven't encountered any issues yet from 2021

System FIve (V) not "Vee"

I am back on GNU/Linux with Ubuntu 24.04 and... it looks beautiful, but I feel like it also doesn't always make sense. The dock, the upper empty and useless bar... Unity felt futuristic instead, and I think I'll try this flavor instead and see if it still fits with me. Otherwise, I might go with KDE for the first time, but still feels "bloated".

If you fire up nano and find it un-intuitive or difficult first time you use it you might need to re-consider your life choices....

in the login screen, you can choose the wayland version, it says it's in beta atm though.

Eu uso o MX-Linux , no BRASIL, em lingua Portuguesa... É muito bom , As ferramentas , Mx-tools , facilitam demais... Eu estou na versao 23 com KDE...num PC - 10 Generation Intel WINE, pra alguns Software , antigos de Windows... Playonlinux Winetricks, pra instalar Reistruturaveis c++ Muito bom mesmo MX-Linux... Depois de uns meses , Voce nem lembra de outros Windows... Bem confiável , Debian 12 , com Mx-tools , Bem mais facil e completo.

The only complaint I have with MX LInux after running it for two years along with Manjaro, Gecko, and CacheyOS is that it is BY FAR the slowest to boot up. Like three, four times longer than any other distribution. Once running, it isn't bad, and I like it.

how can i just mount the desktop folder from home directory which is now on HDD at SSD to increase the speed of the softwares and tools on the Desktop '

What if my windows already has 2 partitions under one ssd. I want to have the home under the larger partition. Your setup in this video shows that you have 2 disk drives Is that correct?
