Also, it doesn't make the "kernel" lightweight, but the initrd file associated to the booting kernel. On my computer non of them take more than 40MBs, so I don't see you saving that much space force you to choose Debian with less driver compatibility and less specialized tools vs MX-feature-rich ...

I really like MX-linux, but because of the impossibility of such a choice, I choose Debian “bullseye”! But maybe I'm wrong. The ...

It doesn't really matter now and honestly I can't spend time testing every combination under the sun anymore... we have other MX things to do... and I have a full time job. Sorry, hopefully your reinstall will go better.

OK, ok... I understand it. You are right... Many thanks for your help and ...

I suggest to remove nvidia driver from test repo or at least make attention like ...

@JayM thats because they were told to in post #3, the goal was to get everything upgraded to whats in the MX Test Repo.

But I actually think they need to disabled the MX Test Repo and actually downgrade libglvnd-dev. I'm trying to reproduce the mix matching of packages they have, but each time, I ...
