installed MX 2.1 MX-21.1_x64 so slow [Solved]

...
can you send me an screenshot where can i do this with the hardware acceleration

This is not a screenshot but just as good, go to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pe ... e-settings which will clearly show where and how to disable "hardware acceleration" in Firefox as well as a little screenshot.

Note that the "hardware acceleration" setting is somewhat "hidden" under the "Use recommended performance setting" so you will not see "hardware acceleration" unless you first unckeck "Use recommended performance settings" under the "Performance heading".



Side note; Chrome is my browser of choice. No regrets.

Just in the settings (preferences) of the browser itself (Firefox in this case).. just open its settings and type that to search, you'll see.

(It may also be an issue just due to this version of Firefox, nothing to worry about)


In the meantime, it's really so nice to see this as "solved" :D

thank you for your best support

Before I forget: You can later install more recent kernels from "MX Package Installer" - "Popular Apps" tab, as they appear, for today: 5.18 . Soon 5.19 (though it's already in Test Repo /Debian Backports tabs) .. then 6.0 ...

(To keep it up-to-date for security & bug fixes, as the AHS kernel doesn't get upgraded automatically)

ok and i have to do it oftern manually with the latest version? may be every 3 month?

[Huckleberry Finn]

Just whenever new ones are available there, no specific intervals :)

(In fact, you don't "have to" .. This is just to stay up-to-date .. security & bug fixes)

By the way:

In case of a problem (even a boot problem) you'll find the older kernels in "Advanced Options" in Grub menu, you can boot with them.

Also, if everything's ok with the new kernel, you can remove some older ones with "MX Cleanup" (Kernel Removal Tool below) with 2 clicks easily...

... Or, in case you'd like to remove any kernel (no matter new/old) you can do it same way as installation (as above) or with "MX Cleanup" (when booted with the other kernel you want to keep).
