[Newbie] Does an RTX 3070 and I7-12700k work with MX-Linux? And other qeustions [Solved]

Marking a thread solved isn't meant to be an indicator of customer satisfaction. It's meant to help the next folks who come along looking for answers to their own problems and, hopefully, get them quickly to the exact post with the best answer. While I can respect that this is a new user with a lot of new user questions, this thread is no longer about hardware compatibility and gets further away from that topic every day.

If you now know the stated hardware works with MX Linux, and it seems like it does, then you should mark this thread as solved and open a new thread with a relevant title if and when a new issue occurs.

So okay I will respect your answer and want to suggest that I will use my system 2-3 days more (when I am home and that will be now in 9 days) and then I will reply that my hardware works and mark that reply as solved. That good?

About my RPGMaker games "problem". The solution was really easy and I am feeling dumb and good at the same time. In MX Linux we have F4 for the Terminal Drop down. I had just to change that to F4 + Super and press F4 in Noel the Mortal Fate or now also any other RPGMaker game installed for example also through Lutris + Wine. Its almost always the simple solutions for problem solving cases... But I am glad.

I'm certainly not in charge of whether you feel a thread you've created is solved or not. If you needed to know something so badly you made a thread about it, and that question has been answered, consider marking the thread solved. Postponing an open thread until so much time has passed that you can only look back at it in retrospect is a recipe for disaster because when things work the way they should, everyone moves on and most people forget to come back and mark a solved thread as solved.

The alternative is opening a thread, piling half a dozen different problems into it, and then abandoning it because one of the solutions offered wasn't exactly perfect or because so much time passed you forget about it. Beyond just helping you right now, threads exist for posterity. Marking solved threads as solved in a timely manner helps people in the future who might have similar problems.

Fine. To respect the forum and the forum rules I now close this thread.

For anyone who reads that in the future: I am (and I am still an beginner) so I opened a thread not only to discuss hardware compatibility but also discuss other problems when you are new to Linux and focus to get your first few pcs up and running. Like printer related problems or first game problems.

So for anyone new heres an summary whats solved here:

- Yes after a few days testing hardware seems functioning. I play tested like 15 games and they all but one function. That one game is an RPGMaker game who I can install the patch but an other specifically patch that I don't want to mention here will get reverted. This problem seems acknowledged by the developers and it seems not only happening on Linux. CharlesV advised me to switch to the AHS version and Liquerix 6.12 kernel for the above mentioned hardware. So I did that and it seems to work great.
- For all the guys who want to bring an epson printer (especially SX-130 and XP-412 but many more because they have official drivers for many many epson printers as .deb packages) to live: Yes they function but as CharlesV mentioned you must do the following things when your utility isn't working and you want to stay on sysvinit (the PID1 error is an indication that one process cant be normally started under your standard sysvinit installation so to switch to systemd per boot manager will work but I feel like, although I am still an beginner, that sysvinit will be better for stability reasons but after asking it shouldn't be bad per se to go with systemd):

Actually, the scripts are already there to run the epson utility.

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/lib/epson-backend/ecbd start

and then

Code: Select all

epson-printer-utility

and I am looking at the utility, chose printer and have ink levels. (this is on an EcoTank ET-2850)

If you cannot get it working, please start a new thread on this topic and we can check it out.

I already have the scheduler setup at @reboot so I don't need to manually input that anymore. The printers itself got easily identified and for SX130 I needed to go with an SX115 driver because CUPS didn't have the SX130 driver in the list even after manual driver install but that's whatever because it works reliably. Also the scanners got easiliy identified and works wonderfull with the inbuilt scanner app.

- For RPGMaker games you installed you should change your F4 button (native terminal drop down) to for example F4 + super. Then you can press F4 and all of your RPGMaker games who understand that in windows will also be able to understand that F4 press in Linux and go in an solid full screen.

Thats the main problems that I can see as solved here over 6 pages. Theres a little bit more new beginner tips here so feel free to read all about it but I don't would advise that. Make an new thread and you get better help. And I don't want to say the people here aren't nice or something they have helped me a lot! Especially CharlesV.

Thank you all again for your help! I really mean it!
For further questions about MX Linux I will now make new threads as advised.
