MX Linux Forum

I wanted to try out EasyOS couple of months ago, and that comes as an .img. Had no problem burning it to USB stick with MX Live USB Maker, and once done it booted up without any issues.

Installed gutenprint and all works ok I'm pleased to say. Took a few minutes to get my head around settings but got there in the end. Printed both a photo and a document, both fine.

MX21 on 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545, dual core, 4Gb RAM. Bit slow to boot up but it's fine once it's up and running. Bit like me, takes me a while to get going in a morning, but I'm ok after a coffee

Ok, first post, so here we go. I'm not completely new to Linux, but I would still only rate myself as 2 or 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Started trying a few distros about 18 months ago, and eventually settled on Mint. Happy with it until few weeks ago when I decided to install the latest version, Mint ...
