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:
STAY AS GOOD AS YOU ARE!!
(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,
Mike

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

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

Re: Suggestion for mouse settings
OP here.
Personally, as a GNOME user, I would much prefer an option in Settings --> Mouse and Touchpad over an option in MX Tweak
(Which, based on current experience, would not appear in GNOME - and yes, I realize that my choice is unsupported.)
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
