Please ensure you update your post on the Distrowatch site - otherwise MX will become known as a distro with rootkits blah blah blah.....which is not the case.........and no don't expect people to follow your original link. :rolleyes:
Posts can't be updated on DistroWatch, but I made an additional post and also posted a link to this thread.

@crazysquirrel
Start your own thread and post your QSI if you want help with your install problem.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.
