 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

While I try to work out what has upset Bill(Gates) so much with my W10 box in the other thread, I have a live-USB version of MX Linux 23.6(KDE) running on another NUC beside my W10 one. MX Linux is impressive. I'm liking what I am seeing so far. VERY useful and helpful FAQ and Users Manual on the desktop right from the off, and they have written it in VERY user-frinedly way, so it is really easy to follow, especially if you were migrating from Windoze. The manual that I have read so far, is really excellent at explaining what Linux is, and MX Linux specifically, but also uses terms that many Windoze users understand, and tells you exactly what the basic differences are without getting to technical or EXPECTING you to know it, cos it is a Linux distro. I'm actually ENJOYING reading this manual, which is not something I say about Linux manuals in general. Also found this video by PewDiePie, who is playing around with Arch Linux, but I thought that video was quite a good upbeat video from someone new to Linux and comparing it to Windoze. I know of PewDiePie, but I don't follow him, but I thought this video was entertaining.  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

That manual - provided on the desktop - is one of the things that really impressed me too! It's excellent. The tools provided with MX Linux are some of the best around and a big improvement on what you get with many distros. I've seen a comment that installation should have been friendlier as it defaults to making a full install, not a partial one. I'm not convinced by that. I think that if you are at the stage where you would even want a partial install then you shouldn't have any problems. If you aren't at that stage then you probably need a full install anyway as there are too many pitfalls otherwise.

I'll be doing a full install on a different box, thus preserving the W10 box - such as it is - for now. I hope to get this done over the weekend, cos live-USB's are excellent to allow you to see how the OS looks and feels, but they are sluggish, so looking forward to seeing what MX is like running from an SSD.

Bill might just want you to upgrade to Win 11. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |
