Re: Browsers




Now, for the other side of the fence... Slimjet is... interesting, but without a sync function it's a no go.


I've just started getting interested in Slimjet, as well. It appears Slimjet does have a sync function. It syncs through your Google account like Chrome, I believe. If you don't have ...

Re: Not sure if this is a bug for MX or Debian. Re-ordering Grub menu causes syntax error due to empty if statement

Part of it might be that I tried to reorder a grub that well... Arch doesn't like. I let Manjaro's grub handle the booting anyway since (as happens often, and is not a bug per se) Manjaro suddenly decided to not play along anymore and kernel panicked unless using the fallback option in MX's grub ...

Not sure if this is a bug for MX or Debian. Re-ordering Grub menu causes syntax error due to empty if statement

See title.
I multiboot MX 18, Manjaro and Windows, and unfortunately the GRUB menu gets... created randomly, it seems.
When rearranging entries to my liking in the /etc/grub.d/ folder I came across a bug that makes the memtest entries generate an empty "if" statement which of course causes an error ...

Re: File selection is weird

It sounds to me that what the OP is asking about is the Single Click option that is activated, instead of the standard Double Click.
Yes, it can be changed, in settings in Thunar, AFAIR.

Re: Browsers

Honestly... I don't see the point of Firefox forks.

Pale Moon (and the new one from the same guy,whatever it's name is): Slower, less secure, uglier.
Waterfox: Identical to Firefox except a few default settings (you can still set on Firefox), and slower security updates. Not slower, at least ...

Is MX the Solus of 2019?

What I mean is: is MX the new hot distro after Manjaro and Solus?

It sure seems like MX suddenly is playing in the "big leagues" with Manjaro, Mint and Ubuntu (Xubuntu?).
Maybe it's a better question if MX was the Manjaro or 2018?

Re: I'm back!!

Oh it's a matter of taste.
Also, despite being a rolling release they change things in their numbered releases, so what happened, probably, was that you were at idk Manjaro 15 when you installed it, and when they released 16, they also released new updated themed packages. But I agree, updates ...

I'm back!!

Well, I haven't been here for long, and I wasn't gone all that long either...

Long story short:
Jumped on the Linux train in 2006. Got really hooked. Could afford a new gaming laptop 2007. Never got around to dual boot.
Jumped back on the Linux train May 2018.

Has gone through:

Re: MX-18 Feedback


Also, what are the 4 package managers?

Only 2 graphical ones, right?

Synaptic is the venerable old gui package manager of Debian based distros. MX packageinstaller (mxpi) is mx's and does more than synaptic, including its Popular apps functionality and the ability to manage Flatpaks in a ...
