MX Linux Forum

Seems awfully early in development for us to take it on. I downloaded it, converted it with: sudo alien --scripts flatpost-1.0.5.fc41.rpm and installed it apparently successfully. Won't go any further b/c I don't use flatpaks so lack the folders it looks for. Nice looking screenshots:

Roger that. Hopefully you'll be able to get around ...
