MX Linux Forum

Not HD4000 but my i5-3550 (Ivy Bridge, HD2500) works fine with either the stock 6.1 kernel (MX23/bookworm) or 6.6 liquorix.

You could also try the antiX 5.10 kernel that is available in MXPI.

If their deb packages are not certified for debian (only ubuntu), do not attempt to use these as you might end up with an unfixable frankendebian. Installing as a docker image should apply to any linux distro and is probably your best bet. On debian the docker package is called "docker.io".

I noticed a couple inconsistencies in the text between releases mentioned in the text vs the screenshots (1.0.96/1.0.97). adrian , that is intriguing, how would one go about "fully installing ' to a virtual drive then booting that from ventoy ? Perhaps creating ...

At the boot menu, select the "Advanced Options" entry. You'll get a sub-menu with systemd and sysVinit options.

Then a client package should suffice, say default-mysql-client (which apparently pulls mariadb-client on bookworm)

i do not have much to add when it comes to apps included by default, I am sure the MX devs will make reasonable choices that can easily be adjusted to one's liking once installed anyway. But i thought i'd share a good news i read this morning on the linux.debian.user.kde newsgroup. The debian KDE ...
