Re: Wifi works in KDE not in XFCE - Not sure where to go?

MX KDE is AHS, so it may have newer firmware than MX Xfce.
Try installing the firmware from either MX AHS or Debian backports as well as a newer kernel.

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

Recently was searching for posts about the Liquorix kernel and got results about someone having trouble with the Librewolf repo, someone wanting to change the size of their swap file, etc....but they show up as search results because they have a Liquorix kernel in their QSI.

So, is it possible to ...

Jammy is an Ubuntu release name, mixing Debian packages and Ubuntu packages rarely ends well.

Re: MX-23.6 init system? [Solved]



Thanks so much for the answers! I appreciate the clarification. Right now I'm deciding between MX-Linux and Fedora for my 2015 Acer laptop and I really don't want the systemd. Happy to hear I can select from the MX Boot Options.


Note though that MX23 only has official releases and official ...

Re: Immutable / Writable Folders...

It has already been reported on GitHub as a bug.
Do not expect it to be fixed though, the GitHub page also says:

This project has been abandoned. There will be no further releases

Re: Malware (for real) on my MX

In the Toughbook CF-19, only the Mk 1 had a 32-bit CPU.

Without the QSI we don't know which Mk this Toughbook actually is or which CPU it has.

Re: Keeping browser settings and everything after reinstall

Browsers keep their configs in the /home directory, as an example, Firefox keeps theirs in .mozilla.

Re: Expectations about MX25

What I expect to do is that I will create a persistent USB, customize it with adding the packages that I prefer and removing the ones I don't, and install that reusing the /home that I already have.
By doing it this way, I can have the same system installed on any computer I have.

Re: Virgin Asus Vivobook not booting into USB (Linpus lite)

When shopping for your next laptop for Linux, I would recommend not bothering with Asus, they are one of the most Linux hostile makers.
If you have any trouble with the laptop with Linux, the first thing they will tell you is to reinstall Windows and check for the problem after that, if the problem ...

Re: Different package name for Pale Moon AVX?


I think it's a better idea to get the updated browser with bugfixes, even if the first install will be non-AVX. Can you really tell if it's much slower?

Pale Moon is also really protective of its name, I don't want to go changing it right off.


Would they object to palemoon-avx as a name though ...
