You need to post your QSI in this thread.

Mike,

Nothing to worry about. Neither that file nor the unallocated space (that's done by GParted (or such programs)) for aligning etc.

Also your current system is already as I would suggest: either home and root (main) partitions are encrypted (you did well). No one will have access.

And also that thread (autologin) is about something else, not a kind of backdoor etc. (and will be fixed with the next release of MX User Manager... )

Verdict: "Don't Worry, Be Happy" :)

@Mikelowree
If you are having performance problems, we have found that laptops equipped with 5th generation Ryzen CPUs and chipsets generally run better when the kernel is upgraded to the liquorix 6.2.14. You can install the liquorix 6.2.14 kernel and headers via the Enabled Repos tab on MX Package Installer (MXPI). Once the install is complete, you can make it the default boot choice with the Boot Options utility in MX Tools and then reboot.

Thanks, Tim is (timkb4cq) is a member of our team and I think he originally worked on that app so the link remained pointed to his github page even though he's not updating the app anymore. I changed that URL in the code and in the next update that will point to the mx-linux github page as it should -- but it's not a critical update, so I won't push it till we have more important changes.
