Agree same. MX now has Build-essential installed so installing Virtualbox and creating a snapshot of my host - install then to virtualbox guest is totally a developers joy now you have an exact copy running in VBox
compiling can open a great deal of imagination and learning curve
creating clones ...

Personally ... I find it MUCH better to create a VM (I use virtualbox ) , and then setup my dev environment there. Not only does this SAVE me from "polluting" my main desktop, but it creates a base for me to work with that wont be polluted BY my main machine.

Thanks so much for your suggestion ...

Thanks so much for your suggestion, I'll do that.

I'd like to install a Python app in virtual environment (venv), but it uses Python 3.12, will I break my system if I install another version of Python and using uv or pyenv to control the version?

Is this the way to ...

I did check, they're there, but it's working, by the way a friend who's using Mint reported similar problem with launcher freeze, but his started right after install, when he added the first few launchers, maybe it's a "side effect" from newer version of Debian?

Does the launcher show up in the folder?

~/Desktop


I'm pretty sure it does, I remembered once when it happened in the morning, I went to ~/Desktop to check if for some reason the launcher was flagged as R only, but it was RW, unfortunately this time it's working, I'll keep an eye, if it ...

Right click on the launcher, properties, edit icon, and try the command you see in a terminal, that might provide some clues.

Nothing works on launcher, no left/right click, no re-positioning, nothing, that's what odd, sometime if I logout, and log back in, it works, lately nothing make it work ...

This is brand new install of 23.5, I've noticed from time to time that some desktop launcher is not clickable and when you hover the mouse over it, it did not change to hand, it seems concentrate mainly in the center of the screen, but it can be anywhere. Is this a bug or I missed something here? Is ...

Thanks you all for your feedback, it's working with NAPS2.
