Re: Am I allowed to express my thoughts?

@AK-47 AI is legal. What matters is if the end result is too close to pre-existing work. Also, it is already massively in use and most importantly,
It doesn't have to be too close, it is usually a matter of what constitutes a derivative work versus fair use. Case in point: projects such as ReactOS ...

Re: Am I allowed to express my thoughts?

I think the rule is too strict and without any real purpose behind it. I think the ultimate purpose is that you don't want crap posted on the forum, but AI is not the measure for crap that you think it is, plus there's no real way to detect it.

Whilst I agree from a technical standpoint (and ...

Re: 23.6 Installer wont launch - could not load xcb

What happens when you run the installer with: sudo -E minstall
If that doesn't work, run sudo minstall (i.e. without the "-E").

Re: Wayland at the beginning [Solved]

Just because "it's the future" doesn't mean it's ready. If you want to play around with it and tinker than fine, knock yourself out, but my point is that KDE 5.27 (in Debian 12 and MX 23) has relatively buggy Wayland code compared to Plasma 6.4.3 in your KDE Neon.
I'm not saying don't do it at all ...

Re: Wayland at the beginning [Solved]

Any particular reason you want Wayland?
Assuming you are running MX 23 or earlier, I would strongly advise caution. Wayland in those KDE versions is still patchy and considered experimental, and since those versions are no longer supported by upstream, you are very unlikely to get support for bugs ...

Re: Malware (for real) on my MX

I fear you may have angered the Ghost of the Elder Lord of the Dark Web, and the only remedy is to demonstrate repentance of your sins by camping inside <insert-name-of-derelict-cemetery-here>, be sure to stay awake until the clock strikes midnight.

Re: Is there a way to exclude QSIs from forum search? [Solved]

While I can certainly appreciate the privacy argument I think it is worth pointing some things out here:

You are asking for support for free software, and as such we don't do NDAs or SLAs or other TLAs, and as such we do not have the manpower or resources to hold ourselves to such requirements ...

Re: Google's anyoning reCaptcha


This has nothing to do with MX Linux or the forum since it's never a problem on here. I have a problem with this extremely annoying and illegal reCaptcha that Google has violates "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990 by ...

Re: Building a Dark theme for MX Linux Forum


Wouldn't a dark theme be a user choice? If you don't like it, don't use it. At least you would have the option.

I don't understand all the negativity.....

I wouldn't mind a dark theme personally, and I am thankful that now computing with dark themes has significantly improved.
That said, I ...
