Any interest in a tool to manage workspaces?

Pretty cool. I usually just use my mouse wheel.
This is my Fluxbox . There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My Fluxbox is my best friend. It is my life.

That's already included on the ISO. I don't know what size is created because I have a dedicated partition I use for SWAP.

No, it's not.
And I doubt that you even have a live mx iso for if you had no matter if you use a swap partition you could easily find it and check its size. Your words are so totally off that I doubt you use linux in general.

The workspace name and number works here. we needed to set remote action true, but i think most mx systems will be true.

Maybe you might want to cool that down a bit especially when talking to people that have been members and contributors here for quite some time... What are you so instantly angry about?

No anger here and I speak really nice.
How much time someone is here has nothing to do about. If it has then this should work against the one you defend.
The "experienced" ones spread so easily such false information?
She is the one who probably got angry and answered immediately with fake knowledge and then you must also be angry that I do not "bow" to the elders! This is ridiculous!
You are trying to cover the real issue by accusing me!
You want me to bow and say "Yes, master black is white, you are right." just because you are older here?
There is no swap in the iso and checking if there is one has nothing to do with if you have or not a swap partition. They would both be automounted.

I stand corrected. I just check both the MX-23.4 live ISO and my snapshot and the swapfile creation part has been removed. It was there during at least MX-23.2 from what I remember.

As a new member, do you think it is wise to criticize another member? (FYI, Linux user since 1997)

I'm a He. Don't let the username fool you.

Swap partitions don't get automatically mounted in MX during the install. You select them in the custom partition section of the installer.

siamhie you are doing a cheap trick out of egoism.
There is not now and there never was a swap file in the iso. When you run the default live usb without remastering or persistence there is and never was a swap file.
My words are clear and you speak of installation which is irrelevant.
If on a live usb or even on an installed system you have both a swap file and a swap partition they are both automounted and of course the total swap space on task manager is the sum of both and not just of the partition.
If you cannot stand criticism it's your problem. How many years you run linux means nothing to me. If all people were thinking like you from the old times then there were never be any progress and we would still live in the caves because "the older have always right."

Do you know why Icarus fell? Because Daedalus never told him the real reason he should not fly high and the real reason was that gods and most of them the Sun, ruler of the sky, would get very angry that a mortal could fly as high as the gods and without permissions. Instead of this he told him that his wings will melt, but temperature gets lower the higher you go and Icarus after so many years next to his father he had learnt many things and simply never believed Daedalus. He just thought that his father considered that he would not be good enough to control his wings so he disobeyed to prove him that he is good enough.

What part of "there was a time you can create a swapfile" during the installation do you not understand? That apparently has been removed from the installer.

If on a live usb or even on an installed system you have both a swap file and a swap partition they are both automounted.

My swap partition does not get automatically mounted after installation.
I either tell the installer where it is or edit my fstab accordingly.
