Re: Some ideas for MX Linux 25 KDE

Flameshot 13.0.0 has been released:

https://github.com/flameshot-org/flames ... ag/v13.0.0

It supports Wayland now, so perhaps it could be made the default screenshot app in MX-25 KDE.

Re: Need advice before installing MX Linux


+1 on Duke's post. And I will add a few things as well.


Are there potential issues with this approach? It is crucial for me not to lose any data in the process.

Re: Need advice before installing MX Linux




1. I have a system SSD which will be formatted to ext4 or should I use btrfs?

Re: Font issues [Solved]


Not sure how much of a difference it will make in KDE, but in XFCE adding stem darkening made a serious difference in my systems, and I believe I got that tip from a KDE user.

Create the following file: /etc/environment.d/90font-stem-darkening.conf

Re: Some ideas for MX Linux 25 KDE

One more idea regarding default fonts.

If that's not a problem a one of the Nerd Fonts could be installed by default:
https://www.nerdfonts.com/

My favourites: Iosevka Extended, FiraCode, Hack, JetBrainsMono.

It could be also set as the default monospace/terminal font.
