MX Linux Forum

Well folks, after hours and hours updating to the latest Win10 implementation and defragging the HDD on the second laptop, I was able to do an install for a dual boot of MX Linux and Win10 on this machine with a lot more storage and ram....but, regrettably an HDD instead of SDD, so, it is slow ...

It looks like Adrian called it (via PM)....my SD card was formatted for fat32. I just reformatted for ext4 and it seems to have completed successfully. Now to make a bootable USB. Not out of the woods yet, but hopefully no more snags. Thanks all for your input.

I did just send the log file to Adrian. But, here's a little background. The laptop I'm using has a small SSD - about 26G or so, about half of which is the OS and programs (has about 13G free) - so, I'm wondering if it needs to create it in the tmp file first maybe it's not big enough unless it uses ...

Hi - I tried that. The systems uses about 13 gigs or so (out of 26G). I have a 64 gig micro-SD card that I selected for the Snapshot location. During the process the image creation process was aborted. Not sure why there wouldn't be enough space, if that's the issue. The 64G SD card was essentially ...

Hi - I have a better laptop than the one that has my Linux implementation. It's currently Windows 10. I'd like to take the implementation I have on my linux laptop and replicate in the other (not as a dual boot - just pure Linux). Is there a convenient way to do this? I have Timeshift on the current ...

Is there any customization that one needs to do after installing Visual Studio?

Thanks


On coursera there are some very nice courses :
https://www.coursera.org/learn/python?specialization=python
https://www.coursera.org/learn/learn-to-program
https://www.coursera.org/learn/interactive-python-1 ...

Seemed like it'd be fun to learn a lightweight programming language. Not sure if I want to invest my time in a C or C++. PERL would probably be an option but I've heard enough about Python that it sounds like a good place to start.


Might I ask, why start with Python? You are probably better off ...

Hi - I installed Microsoft's Visual Studio, but based on @buck's comments above, I need to do some configuration. There's very little on youtube about setting up MS Visual Studio on MX Linux - I have it installed and opened it up, but am not sure if there is additional configuration that needs to be ...

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Hi - I'm Linux noob and would like to learn Python. I believe that Python comes installed as part of the default install with MX Linux.
1. Is there anything else I need to install to get going?
2. Any recommendations for resources to start learning Python?

Thanks
