MX Linux Forum

As you say, this does work but it's bash specific. And even worse, it doesn't work for apps that are started not from within a bash terminal (or generally via a bash shell). I used various more or less reliable workarounds over the years until I found that editing /etc/environment did the job (and I ...

1. Have a version of MX linux on a USB stick (or two) that I can use on any other PC without installing over the default OS on those systems (mostly these will be windows machines). Yes, this can be done. I have a so-called frugal install (ie with persistence) that runs on a variety of PCs from ...

Is there a possibility to activate Antialiasing only for a particular appimage programme? Or if the upper is not possible: Is it possible to change the font of a particular appimage programme only? So that the system replaces the font in appimage before it shows the font in the Gui? I don't know ...

deadbeef is absolutely no F2k replacement... Very true... for power users. But the folks I was talking about are just happy that DB (after I massaged the UI and added a couple of plugins) feels more or less like FB2K. I still have (and occasionally use) FB2K in my Windows VM, mostly because I have ...

I would say Foobar2k but actually getting the devs to release to Linux is an uphill battle. Hm... does that mean that Peter might be persuaded to do a Linux version? My impression has always been that he's just not interested in that though since I'm Linux-only I've not really followed FB2K. FWIW a ...

FWIW over the years I've had a lot more trouble with NTFS-formatted USB sticks and drives than with ext4. Also once an NTFS drive is in really bad shape it's a RPITA to have to boot into a Windows PE environment so that I can run chkdsk. I have a couple sticks left as NTFS for the nowadays very rare ...

The answer is Yes. Filtering based upon the hosts file, provides a layer that happens and doesnt allow the web browser to even GO to some websites. UBO filters AT the website. uBlock Origin also offers you the option to use a hosts file. You are correct, but again that is once you are IN the ...

2. Is XnView native app (use KDE/Qt framework)?

FWIW, MXPI tells me it's a Popular Application and it also appears in the main repo. As to Qt apparently it's a Qt app: https://forum.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=40264
