indestructible. I used to install so much stuff on it. Even instalations from source. I was experimenting with it a lot. Never had any serious issue. Now... I feel like I'm using some not so polished distro. My GF is till using MX18 that I used to abuse.
1. On cold boot, MX 21 uses a lot more memory. Something like 60% out of my 4GB of ram. It used to be cca 30%. (I didnt install anything more than in my old mx19)
2. Only today, Opera made my system almost freeze few times. (both proc and mem stuck around 98%) I had to kill X to access my PC again. (I did not open more tabs than usual)
3. after killing X.. i logged back in. There's no network manager icon in tray. I am still connected to my wifi tho'.
Before someone asks. I did a clean install and I did check sha256sum
well, my hardware IS old so maybe it's about kernel compatibility. (I plan to upgrade hardware very soon. But then, my system will be to new :D)

Maybe even @mxuserjohn (original thread's OP) would benefit from answer to this question.
Tnx. Cheers!
