Re: what's wrong with TB 78.*.* vs TB 68.12.0?

In my opinion it is not a good practice to keep highly personal data like the thunderbird profile in any system partition.
Keeping it in a separate data partition (ntfs, in case one wants to share it with windows installations), all that has to be done is:

-copying/moving the profile to an ...

So if we would just let TB upgrade to the newest version, what would happen? The newer version will convert ...

Re: MX Linux on Newer Hardware (AHS)


Has anyone recently built a newer PC and ran MXLinux on it, or newer laptops? I was looking at the zephyrus g14 for a laptop perhaps to use one day (long battery life and powerful machine).

I recently installed MX-KDE (AHS) alongside Manjaro and win10 on a comparably new HP 455 G7, AMD Renoir ...

Re: Alternatives to Mp3Tag

Mp3tag seems to run fine here using wine (via playonlinux).

Thanks, Oli!
1.0.27 introduced regessions for lots of scanners that had worked with 1.0.25, as far as I can see.
In 1.0.28 they are fixed at least for Canon Lide Scanners (50 and 200).

Re: Close Window warning


I remember one of the advantages of a couple of other distros was you could just press and hold the power button to shut down if you liked.
