Re: SSDs as backup devices
On externals, it's usually the electronics that fail, not the drive itself.
I'd use a NAS rated HDD and a USB dock.

Re: Ads and privacy problems likely to get worse with other operating systems...
Would be interested in your thoughts about what the future may hold for Linux. Nothing will change. People have had loads of incentives to ditch MSFT and haven't. They only way any headway will ever be made is if large enterprises get fed up and make the transition, and if OEMs install and support ...

Re: Mint or MX?
Yes it is. Puff your chest out a bit. You and the entire team have earned it.
One of these days I'm going to take a stab at making MX Xfce my default workaday OS on my desktop computer. (It's there already with my laptops.) If I can't do that to my satisfaction, Mint KDE is my fallback.

Re: Mint or MX?
Being considered an equal with Mint (for some value of equal) is a feather in MX's cap.

Re: What advice would you give to new people just starting to use Linux?
But anyone determined to use Linux I am happy to help. When I was using XP years ago viruses bricked my computer for a second time and I was absolutely determined to use anything other than Windows. The prime candidates for me were those who kept getting infected (XP, Vista, and W7 to a lesser exte...

Re: Mouse not working after update
Found out it was a faulty mouse. :popcorn: That was my first thought. Since the right click worked, it obviously wasn't a connection issue, and even if you'd somehow changed it into a "left hand" config, the left button should have done something . Many users forget that computers operate...

Re: Synaptic won't Add CD-ROM (Debian DVDs)
Thank you so much timkb4cq and everyone in the MX/antiX community! I love ALL the work that went into this distro and won't stop supporting/promoting it When you're dealing with the MX Community, many times you're dealing with the actual developers themselves. You just experienced what that's like....
