It's a little sad because there will be a LOT of PC's headed for the scrap heap after this fall due to Windows 11 incompatibility and these are perfectly good systems with Linux on them.


You can installing MX (or any Linux) on the old comp's and then installing Win11 in a VM to save these PCs ...

I’ll give it a try and see what it’s like. I honestly didn’t know that existed. Thanks

I TOTALLY understand why MX does not support in-place upgrades (excluding custom installations on top of your home directory). Supporting an "official" in-place upgrade process is incredibly complicated. The number of things that can go horribly wrong—well, it requires a lot of time, effort, people ...

Ubuntu debs are not as dangerous as some people make it sound, they are safe in my view as long as they don't conflict with anything and nothing is removed when you install them (they will tell you and if you read the prompts and have a bit more common sense than Linus from Tech Tips you should be ...

In any event the suggestion that you pin the Nvidia driver is a good one the other thing that may hinder Nvidia is a kernel update. which means the Nvidia driver may have to be rebuilt against the newer kernel. So sometimes it's a waiting game until everything catches up.

Yes, I have 11 servers out there with MX on it. Three servers are file and DB servers, the rest are setup for Ubiquiti WiFi controllers.

I run liquorix on all of them as none of them are heavy use really. The file servers are fairly light ( 9 people max) and the DB's are document servers and SVN ...
