Re: Xfce configs screwed up: unusable [Solved]

TL;DR: Restoring from a backup didn't help,
in an somewhat unconnected issue, I would remark (apology for quoting myself):
If you backup, but have not tested your restore procedure to completion, there in an unfortunate accident waiting for you.

Re: Expectations about MX25

My expectations of the upcoming MX25:

(and I'm shouting on purpose.)

Many thanks to the devs, gurus, masters and all.
Hoping not to bother you too much in the future,

Have a look at Bleachbit
Also in MXPI --> Enabled repos.
Works for me (regularly switching between two installed languages.)

Re: Is Linux fighting back?

Edison's quote says: "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration"?

And Jakob77 says: There is not much doubt in my mind that AI in a few years will have absorbed more than 90% of what there is to know about Linux

I would think that while AI in due course will cross the ...

There will probably be no updates, but are you sure the spying will end?

Re: What do you want MX25 to be.?

Quoth @uncle mark :
This is exactly what MX provides already. I've set up several Linux installs for people, and they are essentially untouched, OOTB installs.

TIA,
Mike

Suggestion for mouse settings

see viewtopic.php?t=84839
For a query how to switch mouse settings for lefties.
There was a solution given, but would it be possible to add this as an option in the Settings menu?
Definitely not urgent, probably not too complicated, just a suggestion.
Thanks,
Mike
