Is there a space where to announce a new MX Linux customization

#1 Post by vcaselli »

Hi,
is there a specific space where an MX Linux customization can be annouced not behaving as a spammer, but just as a contributor of the community?
Maybe some page with a list of customizations where one can ask to be added?
Thank you very much

HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Hi,
thank you all!
Since it is just a customization made with MX Snapshot (with Resetting accounts option), I created a post under "MX Modified"
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewforum.php?f=100

Is this assumption correct or it may be ok also under "MX Respins" ?

In this case MX Modified is the correct place.

Isn't modified for questions on OWN things, and respins for things that get spread to other users to download?

My interpretation that this case is modified in that he used functions within the official release to make changes and then packaged it. As opposed to a respin that makes major changes not available in the MX released ISO.

I thought 'modified' is where you ASK questions on an install that is significantly modified, eg you switched to gnome desktop, runit init system, etc.

"respin"is where you announce your own respin (snapshot iso) made for other people's use, no matter how minor the changes from main release.

Then if people have support issues with your spin, they post in your announcement thread.

It has been moved to Respins.
