@VINRARUS
Are you trying to upgrade in place?
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.

Probably not, the old home directory came from OpenSUSE.

I only copied the missing files from MX /home to my old /home.

I think it's common courtesy to have a somewhat more descriptive title than "$PATH", too.

I roll my eyes back just to see if my brain is still there and working. 9_9 Yah, OK, fer sure.
MXPI = MX Package Installer
QSI = Quick System Info from menu
The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

So what you ended up with is a mixture of competing config files, hmmm?

What started as a "joke" turned out to be a classic case of self-made user error!
Who would have thought your adjustments would be the punchline?
Just a reminder that even the best of us can trip over our own tweaks!
Maybe we should all stick to debugging instead of joking around!

Taking random files from /home on one distro and mashing them onto a new distro is a little like buying a new car, ripping out the interior and replacing all the seats, seat belts, steering wheel, shifter, and stereo with the ones from your old car, then complaining to the dealership that the handling is slushy and the radio presets are bad.

MX is my 1st Linux distributive with /usr/games in PATH (but it is ok).
I always thought /sbin and /usr/sbin in PATH is standart, but when shell dont see /usr/sbin/*, and see /usr/games/* - for me this as for joke. :laugh:

I dont complaining, I ask how stupid worked I do.
