Re: Why XFCE?

A complete operating system for internet only? Never let your guard down, an antivirus is always useful.
I don't need secure Tor network. I just need faster OS. Exactly I need faster internet browsing.manyroads wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:28 am If you were using a complete OS only for browsing then why would you ever consider anything other than Tails????

Are you kidding? I`m not computer geek for using terminal. And not sure if it will be faster.Richard wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2019 6:33 pm Then you could try antiX with Fluxbox,
which will give you maximum resources
for browsing or anything else desired.
No Xfce, no Kde, only Fluxbox and a browser.
I think you should move your issue into a separate thread. You seem to be off topic.denis12 wrote: Sun Apr 28, 2019 8:12 pm Are you kidding? I`m not computer geek for using terminal. And not sure if it will be faster.
It happens to me once in a while on Ubuntu and most Debian based systems I have used. I believe when I installed MX it put the (single) panel on the left. I moved it to the top and created a bottom panel.Jerry3904 wrote: Fri Apr 26, 2019 5:11 pm Funny, in five years with MX I've never seen that panel problem. You might think of starting a new thread dedicated to this, including the output of Quick System Info.
No, I wasn't as a matter of fact. When I customized the EFI grub I overlooked the option to boot using systemd. But, I've added it and will see what happens.dreamer wrote: Fri Apr 26, 2019 7:07 pmAre you booting MX Linux with systemd?Cavsfan wrote: Fri Apr 26, 2019 5:00 pm The ONLY downfall I see to MX is that, like all Debian based distros, while booting up sometimes the panels do not appear and you have to logoff or reboot if logging off is not an option to get the panel(s) to show but, it's not that big of a problem.

You can set the boot to use systemd every time in MX Boot Options, check the box "Enable saving last boot choice."I'll keep a better eye on the panels and boot with systemd every time I'm in MX, which is quite a lot.

Here is what I now have for MX: (although my grub is on Arch)Code: Select all

Thanks for that info. and that is a great feature but, as I mentioned I customize my grub and it's on Arch Linux. It will be easy to select the option to boot into MX using systemd.Jerry3904 wrote: Fri May 03, 2019 8:10 pm You can set the boot to use systemd every time in MX Boot Options, check the box "Enable saving last boot choice."
