What old beast are you proudly running MX Linux on ?

[SoNick_RND]

Hi, have the same netbook (U180), just installed the latest 64-bit version of the mx linux, and have a blank screen after the text part of booting, did you have any problems and maybe already fixes?

I now have MX Fluxbox running on a converted Toshiba Chromebook of about 2014 vintage - Celeron processor - 2GB DDR3 ram - 16GB eMMC disk.

You should start your own thread in the MX Help section of the forums.

Sony Vaio VPC-Z13Z9E (i7, FHD, MX-23 Respin "extrox")
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-So ... 351.0.html

Switched from modern CHUWI GemiBook. Headphone volume capacity very bigger than GamiBook, Good to Listening.
Keyboard good, fine layout. Display good, 97.2% sRGB.

A part of old machines are high cost made, In general modern-time machine less cost.

Lenovo T500 laptop running MX 23-4. Works great.

The ASUS X42D in my signature is from 2011. I don't use it much as it's just a backup laptop, but recently I replaced the Solus that was on it with a snapshot of the MX23 on my newer laptop [the Clevo that's also in my signature]. I'd gone a year plus without upgrading the Solus rolling install, and so the attempted massive upgrade went badly and showed up too many errors.

MX23 works fine but Firefox is slow on it. Since the lappy is only for emergencies, I'm not complaining.

The ASUS is a dualboot and the other distro is the now EOL MX19 that I couldn't bring myself to delete.

@SoNick_RND
On the U180 netbook:
what works for me:
When the boot sequence fails to complete, press Fn + F12.
Netbook goes into suspend, use the power switch (left side) to wake.
You might get a crazy colour scheme, Fix it by going to tty1: press ctrl+alt+F1, and then ctrl+alt+F7

HTH,
Mike

P.S. Dunno why this works, not a HW person...
P.P.S. apologies for being OT

Lenovo T500 laptop running MX 23-4. Works great.

My daily driver is a Lenovo T440p running DO's sysvinit-only MX-23 respin. I've also got MX-23 on a T450 and around here somewhere is a T410 with a broken screen I really should get repaired to see what was on that when I dropped it.

(That was a really sad story. The T410 was my previous daily driver for years and ran Linux far better than it ran FreeBSD. In a hurry one morning to get to a meeting at work I pulled my bag out of the trunk of my car and swung it over my arm, dumping my laptop out of it. It crashed onto the pavement of the parking garage. I scooped it up in a panic and rushed to my meeting which was, in retrospect, absolutely not worth the hustle. The only damage to the T410 was a pushed-in corner that cosmetically deformed the plastic a little bit.

Then, months later, I was walking across my living room with it and it slipped out of my hands. It landed on the carpeted floor with a thud and that was what killed it. Goes to show you never can tell.)

I like using sometime my old and small eepc MSI U123 (under MX19x32 (buster + extended-lts buster-lts) & IceWM, and zswap.enabled=1, and Palemoon or Fireox-esr ... it is still working fine (except the battery which is now KO)

Compaq Presario CQ71. Dual core, 3gb ram, legacy nvidia drivers. Installed the 64b flubox edition. Then i installed my favorite xfce desktop. I use this laptop mainly for writing (and listening to music).
i also had some very successful sessions with this laptop, trying to create and set up a wordpress blog for a friend (with basic photo editing on the fly).
