was hopping keep this distro or even recommend to friends who thinking go linux from windows xp-win7. Installed on older laptop originally Xp on it replaced debian stable 6 (i think) was running 3 years np.Wanted try a distro more updated software. All worked flawless great speed great and easy desktop.
Then i wanted less resolution on mine older laptop so i changed resolution. What a surprise it broke a system :=)) black screen. Other distro like mint or even windows asking you wanna keep resolution and if you don't say yes or the screen is black it automatic going back the working one :=)

Oh, I'm sad to say this seems belonging to this forum member: https://forum.mxlinux.org/memberlist.ph ... le&u=23246

Though I answered how to fix: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... lit=screen and he says "got 64 version on usb and..." .. He neither considered nor mentioned it was a Beta..

And yes, it's right and a really good thing that other distros (in fact other DEs) "asking you wanna keep resolution" first. But he should've known this is due to Xfce..

P.S. I don't know if it's against forum rules to point out a member. But they just become member to ask a question, then go away at tiniest problem and begin complaining ... That really makes me sad and nervous .

Thanks for that. I was about to say why didn't he ask for Forum help? He got your fix on the 17th and posted to Distrowatch on the 21 st, today. Oh well se la vie.

P.S. Don't forget to watch the drummer's looks :D

Reviewing a beta and then throwing shade on it for any problems is just lame, IMO.

Can't boot after installation of Nvidia proprietary driver.

Should I cry or laugh ?

No support for RTL8821CE yet so for me this is not going to work.

Sadly again, it seems that it belongs to this user, although it's obvious that it's something kernel-related but not distro, and he solved it with 5.1.x .. https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=53343

installing anything new breaks whole system.
This is nostalgia OS, for forgotten ages

I really can't find a word for such an exaggeration. So, none of you, thousands of people are not installing "anything new" to not break "the whole system", therefore you're still here, still using such a "plastic" system !
Sadly, it seems to me, that belongs to here: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=53406
