MX Linux Forum

Yeah, well as I said even though my particular issue is solved I am keeping this open just in case someone wants to use it as a reference or if I have more issues down the road.

As for the systemd debate, honestly, if sysinit is causing so many issues for us end users, then maybe the MX developers ...

Hey I would like to report that as of my recent try of MX linux MX 21.3 that the NVIDIA driver now installs properly! Time to test out some games and see how I fare!

Edit: okay, so far so good, but I will not mark this as solved. Never know if this topic will come in handy for someone else.

Support for that chipset is supposed to be built into Linux kernels starting with 6.2, though.


Sweet! There's one less thing to worry about :woot: :woot:
Honestly this is why I dont use certain distros with my old lappy as it uses that chipset, very nice to see it integrated into the kernel ...

Yeah, I did play with MATE on MX linux, it works fine.
I just like the subtle tweaks the Ubuntu MATE team does over stock MATE, makes the system feel very professional.
The boot screen, the login, the whole nine yards.
It's something I always liked about Ubuntu MATE, it's far from your typical re ...

So earlier this year I had to ditch MX linux KDE on my old lappy due to performance issues, its an ol gal with almost 10 year old hardware.
I replaced it with MX XFCE and while a far better experience I never intended to be my main distro for this machine.
I knew Ubuntu 22.04 was around the corner ...

I have some good ones from my customized MX 21 XFCE setup:
