Re: Partition schemes that reduce TEAR on SSDs [Solved]
All the FS tools used in MX-Linux have done the proper alignment for SSD drives for some years now. MX-Linux already installs a weekly cron job to run fstrim. It logs in /var/log/trim.log That's really all you need for almost all use cases. If you have a particular issue of concern, please give use...

Re: Best partitions for new system? [Solved]
In my humble opinion, over the course of time it works better to have your long term data (pictures, videos, documents) in a separate data partition rather than in your /home partition. Easier to back it up, safer when you install a new OS version, easier to multiboot (it's very nice to still have ...

Partition schemes that reduce TEAR on SSDs [Solved]
It is told that the legacy partitioning schemes were designed around disc storage and we have not yet adjusted to SSDs. I am worried about the TEAR I would even go further and request you to create MX installers geared towards this. To begin with can you provide howto for people who have already ins...

Gnu Guix as a package manager [Solved]
I was wondering if guix could be ported in MX Linux as package manager. The major side effect for this would be users will have additional possibility to add their own packages. This will reduce lot of burden from package maintainers shoulders. Then this could be a philosophy thing, so not sure how ...

Re: Neovim in the repo is very old
FWIW... it looks like the unofficial flatpak version of nvim via mxpi might also work. Mark, Thank you for the dual response. The main requisite is have a nvim as a binary so that i can install lunarvim (an opinionated nvim). if it is flatpak or app image, then lunarvim can't see nvim. link for lun...

Re: Neovim in the repo is very old

But again, I’ll put it on the list for next week, lots going on in real life and for MX. Like the browser your requested which I haven’t forgotten about. ...
