MX Linux is a good distro to run off a USB stick, as it has that optional mode to load it all into RAM at boot, then save it back to the USB on shutdown... I don't know why I'm writing this, I'm sure everyone is aware... I just want attention I guess. 👀💦
Haha, cheers. I was more or less being silly. Though to be fair, while they do advertise it, MX Linux could be a little clearer with their terminology and instructions on how to use this mode and make sure it's working. Maybe it's gotten better since I last checked! :) And besides, their documentation overall is very good.
To anyone interested in. This info should get you started. -- there's an MX blog post called: Do cool stuff with live-USBs. Note that you might think it's working when it's not, so I'd say follow along with a person who goes through the installer on YT. Also, TERMS you'd want to lookup would be: "antix live system", "persistence", "snapshotting", "frugal", and "remastering". Hope this helps. ✌️
Can you explain to me what was the config file he requested in the terminal to get removed? He didn't explain it in the video. And why did he removed only that file?
nice work dt!! you've really highlighted one of the main strengths of linux; making your machine *yours*, making it do what *you* want it to do. what you just did would have seemed like magic to me as a new linux user.
@@gimcrack555 I like dt but still he does not even look at it properly... You can change the position of the bar from mx tools and you don't have to break their theme to do it
And the coolest thing is the imager tool with which you can make custom ISOs with as little effort as possible like it will convert your current installation into an ISO which you deploy on other computers with all your programs and your settings like a regular live CD installer.... What can be more cool then that.
To easily rearrange panel items, use the 'Items' tab of the Panel Preferences pane. You just highlight an item, then use the arrows to move it up or down.
You can flip the contents of the bar with MX Tweak as well whenever you use the Affects 1st Panel settings under the Panel Tab, it happens automatically whenever you choose a different way to display the panel.
I really have gone from a complete noob to an intermediate Arch user because of you and your channel. I am also practising installing arch over and over on my virtual machine so if there are any problems I will know most of the commands off by heart. I'm using a tiling window manager within KDE but I think soon I will be confident enough to ditch the DE completely.
Another GREAT masterpiece bro. Not watch your wideo a lot but know You are real important person in liux world and my respect to you. Like to her how simple work on linux could be using your ways doing it simple. Thanks for it. Have a nice day and night with all of this. Is perfect. Greet
You can change the position of the panel using the MX Tweaks tool. This then moves menu items into their correct place. Using the Mode drop down just uses the default XFCE position, so will take MX Linux panel items and mirror their positon if you move to the top. Use MX Tweaks!!
I noticed that it's in first place on DistroWatch but i've never seen someone talking about it on youtube for some reason, I found out about this distro last week (i'm starting on linux but still). So can someone explain why is it in first place? Also your videos are so good DT, i've been learning a lot with you even though i started recently.
DistroWatch isn't an actual measure of downloads, users or popularity. It's unfortunate because so many people assume it is, including some tech "journalists". I would guess that MX doesn't have even a fraction of the install base of things like Manjaro, Mint, Fedora or Arch. And I would bet everything that I own that MX doesn't even have 1% of the installs of either Ubuntu or Debian. That doesn't make MX bad. That doesn't make those bigger distros good either. Who cares about popularity! It's just unfortunate that DistroWatch is taken seriously as a metric of Linux popularity.
DW rankings are just clicks on those pages. It gets weird when everyone clicks on one of the top distros thinking "what even is this?" and then they boost it higher without meaning to.
Coming from Windows and being used to the task bar being at the bottom, I always found it strange that Linux predominantly had the task bar at the top. it's only since using Linux that I've actually thought about the placement and yes, it really does make sense. So even my Windows task bar is now at the top. But that's the great thing about Linux - you can take pretty much any distribution and make it look and behave to a certain extent how you like it, regardless of distro.
An excellent guide to this very stable and robust OS as well as very good learning lesson of the Debian terminal commands and power user tweaks! Thank you👍
Some terminals, including xfce4-terminal, can be run with --maximize flag to fill the screen on startup. Personally I like my terminal always maximized, with no scrollbar, no menu and no borders, looks really nice this way and uses all the available space for output.
00:10 i do just like you : i get spoons and cut in the metal to transform them into forks.. Don't really why i don't get forks in the first place though, maybe you can tell me... ?
16:42 by default xfce has the Alt key as floating modifier, so you can hold Alt + left mouse button to drag window or right mouse button to resize. Also, you can change Alt to Mod key for that in "window manager tweaks"
i tried mx linux in many different computers and also with xfce, openbox and kde, and a very positive point is that recognizes well the hardware. In many distros, is typical to spend time looking for wifi drivers. Anyone knows why MX has this positive point?
I always worry that if I install something like mint Debian edition the desktop they provide is not very lightweight. so if I go in there and make changes will the fact that those packages are already on there weigh things down anyways?
1:17 although i dont use the left side panel; but if thats stuck there i would prefer the main things down... maybe its psyche to have tiny looking icons near and not grabbing much attention than colorful app icons bugging in view. i like that if thats stuck.
MX Linux is just really good. Everything in it is solid, reliable, and the MX Tools are very useful. Some people compare it to oldschool Ubuntu, and it's understandable why. I was having trouble with things breaking, and stability issues on my usual rolling distro choices (Manjaro, Solus, Fedora). I use a AMD advantage laptop so a newer kernel is mandatory, luckily the MX repos have a 5.17 kernel making this a really solid gaming setup. If I could complain about one thing, it's having a slightly dated Mesa (21.2.5)
Can you explain what a Power user is? Why not build Alacritty from source the same way you did with dmenu? I'm surprised you installed neofetch when you mention it's bloat.
Hi there. I have Mint on a Asus Zenbook, 500g ssd, 16mb ram. The bootloader is locked and is uefi. I want to try MX Linux, but I see it uses grub instead. How do I go about this? I'm quite new to Linux.
tried to install on vanessa linux mint 21, but was unable to install your version of dmenu :S almost same errors but at the end got another one and got stuck in it, also was unable to install it in debian bookworm... debian unstable
Your logic for arranging icons on the left side is sound, but my problem with putting the application menu up top is that it is guaranteed to pop up over, and cover, the window you've got up there. And quite often I put my primary window in that corner. It shouldn't be an issue--just open the new program and the menu goes away. But so often, in between opening the menu and finding the application I want, I'll want to read, re-read or just check something in my main window. But now it's blocked until I either close the menu or open a new application.
Hey DT thanks for the videos, what do you say to the people that say that Xmonad is a lot of haskell bloat ? I grinded for a month, finally got it the way I wanted it only to move to dwm LOL. LMAO from poweruser to newb on gentoo.
The only "bloat" part of installing XMonad is that you have to install GHC (the Haskell compiler). The Haskell compiler is about 300M in size, not a huge program, but not tiny either. But many programs require the compiler for their language to be installed on you computer. The thing with Haskell is that most people don't already have Haskell installed...so they claim it's BLOAT! I'd argue that if you don't have Haskell installed, then you are missing out on some FANTASTIC programs: - xmonad, xmobar - pandoc (works on Windows, Mac, Linux and is a standard!) - shellcheck (if you do any shell scripting, you NEED this program!) - git-annex - movie-monad - darcs (version control system and alternative to git) And so many more!
How come that mx linux debian manjaro and other distros built on systemd took minute and half to boot on mechanicall drive but devuan with openrc 15/25sec?

I typically love all the videos that you make, but I am a little disappointed with this videos claim. I am a new Linux user and chose MX Linux as my first distro.

I love your arch vids , so much I am thinking about using the arch script and set up a system in virt-manager. I just would have liked more about what the system comes with , than how to change the programs that are in the typical install of MX. Thank you for all your hard work. Not trying to be a nit picking ass......
Maybe it's because the arch users are all asking for help, while MX users are busy using their super stable system to do something better with their time.
The developers of MX Linux actually created it to use for themselves, and that's how they like it. For document creation, it's great. However, there is a simple to use tool that will relocate the panel to wherever you want in a couple of clicks, and rearrange the panel items to match the position.

Don’t alias sudo commands in your bashrc. A malicious program or attacker with user-level access could change your bashrc to match a different command to that alias. When you run it, you’ll run that command with root permission, blindly trusting that it has not changed. Instead, you can write a bash script, make sure it can only be modified by root, and then symlink it to /bin. Interestingly, sudo can run a symlink in /bin, but bash won’t. Anyway, that’s the secure way of doing sudo aliases. It’s more work, but security often entails more work.
