After hours trying to find out "what the heck " was happening with my system (and have found hardware issues -- defective RAM modules... -- a missing directory : ' inittab.d ', which is just sort of "left-over" on Debian 12 based distros like MX…; and even an inconsistency between the hardware clock ...

Hi,
I'm passing here only to report that the issue with Session startup sounds was fixed within late system updates!
Thanks to all for your attention!

Uodate coming soon. I’ve been trying to force the sound not to play until the soundsever is actually running.

I tried to turn off hardware acceleration on both Firefox and Vivaldi, to no results. Videos kept stuttering. But, as said, in Firefox those network cache configurations tweaks seemed to solve the problem. Yes, CPU temperatures are higher than normal because I'm running with a little overclock (2 ...

Hi, I have a question that can look silly, but it's not. I have installed LibreOffice 7.6.4 through the DEB packages available for download from its homepage. I chose to make it so because the versions available from MX repositories are older (the latest one is still 7.5 at Back Ports repository ...
