MX Linux Forum

Will check it out, thanks so much!

Just as an aside, this seems like something that would be super handy for all persistent USB users to have in the Conky display. Any chance of it becoming a default or pre-installed config option for USB stick installations? Happy to share my modified Conky config if/when I get it working.

Greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much! Quick follow-on: Is there a handy CLI command I can use to check the same status? Thinking of including it in the Conky display so it’s visible for him at a glance.

The Debian wiki shows extra steps needed to enable apparmor, but I'm uncertain whether they're up to date or necessary on MX. After installing the apparmor package and rebooting without ...

During social distancing, I'm stuck at home with an IT-managed work laptop and I wanted to be able to make personal use of it. So I thought it'd be nice to try running MX Linux from a USB stick with persistence. I had a 128G USB 3.1 thumb drive laying around, which seemed promising, but it turned ...
