Alongside this debate, I just purchased a reconditioned Thinkpad X280 with Win10 Pro freshly installed. I have installed MX-23 over the Windows installation but I can't conclusively say whether I needed to use Win10 to disable Fast Startup. What I found was that hitting Enter on boot (Lenovo default ...

Do you people have your "workspace programs" automatically open to a specific workspace? And if you do, how do you accomplish that? Reference: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=80476 Cheers! & Thanks! Yes - "Save session for future logins" does most of it. Vivaldi doesn't open, but when ...

My install has failed twice. Using custom formatting, defining root & swap partitions and labelling root partition 'MX23-B1'. On boot gives error 'No such device'.
