MX Linux Forum

Yes, it would be nice if other locales other than the ones you need were not installed.

If they brought back TinyX I might be interested, but as others have said, Wayland is the future for Linux, (& maybe BSD).

Sorry, haven't read all this thread, but all I ask is that things like flatpak, be user option to install or not, don't make it default, stick with deb packages only.

A frugal install is similar to a live USB, but running from your disk, which will be faster than from a pendrive.

Frugal install will be the closest to loading to ram - check out Puppy Linux, you can make your own system, & 'squash' it up, to make a new version.

Seems like it would be a better practice to not include any flatpak in a release, but to leave it up to the user to install, if wanted!

A lot of the stuff on the internet is old & out of date, so I don't think many would miss it, whereas, most people who use the internet have copies of their data already...

I always back up my data to a separate external drive....

Just about any OS will read FAT32, so yes, probably a good option.

I think, for people who want or need, a full blown distro, MX hits the nail on the head, & with a few customized off shoots, 90% of the needs of others are covered.

This is a gawd awful thing to have in a file manager - I've lost files because of it today, (whilst trying to empty it) - it really does need to go!
