Support for MX and antiX Linux distros

the thing is, that any pricing from the USA is biased to the USA market,,turtlebay777 wrote: Wed Mar 13, 2019 6:22 pmSo only by buying online and risking one of the mega sites having their database with my banking details on it, being broken into and details stolen?figueroa wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2019 5:10 pmThat's hard to relate to. On Amazon.com in the US, the pricing sweet spot seems to be at 32G USB 2.0 drives at 10 for $30, more or less, Prime shipping included. That's $3-US/each. Try to find the UK equivalent.turtlebay777 wrote: Sun Mar 03, 2019 3:13 pm Again and again I see comments about cheap USB sticks, but WHERE do people buy them cheaply? The stores around here in Dorset and Hampshire, UK very rarely stock USB sticks and when they do they're priced at £20 (sterling) or more for a small 8GB stick.
you can't - - there is No Equivalent .. ..
maybe a little more,, but Not Heaps, as that's most doubtful.
The same here. I mean completely sameAK-47 wrote: Wed Apr 03, 2019 3:36 am Prospective Windows refugee here. I was looking for decent Linux distros and trawling through YouTube for good videos on distributions, and some commenters on those videos mentioned MX Linux.
So far I have been quite impressed with MX Linux. Coming from Windows 7 I already feel quite at home. I even managed to send a few cold-call tech support scammers into a rage of confusion with MX Linux and antiX Linux VMs. There have been a handful of teething issues that tend to occur with any major transition. I'm still evaluating and testing things out, but it seems I'm on track for making the switch by the end of this year.
I found MX Tools and MX Tweak come in handy. The snapshot and remastering features seem interesting (although I haven't had the chance to test them out yet). Also putting the panel/taskbar/whatever on the side is genius. It works well even on my 1024x768 screen. For inexperienced users wanting to just browse Facetwitterinstabooktubegram and check emails like a boss, I feel MX will not get in your way.
I occasionally found simple tasks like installing printer drivers to be a bit difficult. It also took me some time to work out how to set some system-wide settings (eg. power button press to suspend the laptop when it's at the lock screen). There is also some room for improvement with the installer, such as advanced encryption settings like cipher selection, the ability to preserve encrypted /home, and also asking the user about the boot loader before the install rather than when it's almost finished. Hoping to submit some patches soon.
I say, these smilies are surprisingly stupendously versatile.
Yup! I don't dual-boot, but I have MX on the home computer and a modified Linux Lite on a laptop. Both are completely awesome newbie-friendly and technophobe-friendly distros, and both use a highly modified Xfce desktop.JayM wrote: Sun Mar 31, 2019 6:28 am It looks as if Bluesguy may have been right. I've been seeing a lot of posts in the last two or three weeks from people coming from Ubuntu or Mint, or at least dual-booting from one of those and MX. To them, welcome to the forum and to MX!

I do the same and I have been a full time Linux user since was a pup (~2000). Started with Mandrake and then went to Ubuntu with Warty Warthog (version 4) then on to Mint... Manjaro (v. 0.
