I have never used a graphics card before. I have never installed graphics card drivers on my current MX PC.

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/radeon-500-series/radeon-rx-500-series/radeon-rx-590 this link does not list drivers for Debian (at least, I don't think it does).

I see in MX Tools ...

Your QSI doesn't show the hardware the 8812au driver supports. We can't know if you have a usb wifi adapter using that chipset that's not plugged in.
I can't reproduce this error using the same kernel you are running.
The info needed to troubleshoot that would be found in /var/lib/dkms/8812au/5.13 ...

Your QSI shows doesn't show that wi-fi device in Network, so just remove "rtl8812au-dkms" package via MXPI or with apt on the command line:

All is good until I run the following command as root in terminal:

$ find /etc/apt -name “*.list” -exec sudo sed -i ‘s ...

Or use a 6.2 or 6.3 kernel we have in there, as they ...

When I run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade I get the following error:

I have two distros installed on my system - MX and openSUSE. They are on different disks. openSUSE will not boot, so I am attempting to use MX Boot Repair to get to the distro on another disk, but I am very confused about how I'm supposed to use MX Boot Repair effectively.

Ok, thanks!

Quick question- I've got btrfs configured. Snapshots with Timeshift are not instantaneous, though - it takes something like one minute to complete a snapshot.

I've posted on reddit about this but didn't get much help. Someone asked me if my distro (MX) uses quotas, in btrfs, by ...
