i really need some help with this re-installing is not an otption![]()
But you've turned your system into a FrankenMX. You've added even more repos now (Debian Testing and winehq).
And if you followed that website, you've probably manually installed .debs or added OBS repos, Lord knows what the status of everything is at this point.
Maybe you already seen these posted on the forums, but please read:
How to Break Your System
viewtopic.php?f=104&t=44747
Don't Break Debian
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
Since you want to use the kxstudio stuff, my recommendation is this (think the steps are good but its super late here):
1) Download and install AVLinux MX Edition https://download.linuxaudio.org/avlinux/AVL-MXE/64bit/
2) BEFORE anything else, open MX Package Installer, click on the MX Test Repo, search for Timeshift and install it
2.1) Read about what Timeshift does if you don't know https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift ... /README.md
3) Open MX Tools or MX Snapshot directly, create a MX Snapshot ISO of your system
4) Open Timeshift, create a "Timeshift snapshot" (recommend disabling the schedules - uncheck all the boxes - do manual snapshots until you understand it all)
At that point you should have:
- a version of MX (AVL-MXE) so you have the kxstudio stuffs
- a ISO snapshot made with MX Snapshot so you can reinstall at the point after you installed and installed TimeShift
- TimeShift snapshot so you can easily roll back if things get messy
I don't know the status of WINE on AVL-MXE, not sure if you should install it via MX Package Installer, or if the recommended way on AVL-MXE is something else.
Maybe someone will come along to answer that.
For now please do not add PPAs and other repos, until you get comfortable with MX Linux, you can really mess up your installation.
MX ISO snapshots and Timeshift snapshots can help if you get in a sticky situation, but they aren't a excuse to create a FrankenMX and snapshots taken after things are messed up won't help at all because its too late then.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask here, no question is a bad question. Far better to save time and energy than learn things the hard way.
i guess ill try elementary OS
actually what would you guys recommend for both gaming and audio production still avlinux?
