Just be aware that having upgraded all you can, a SATA SSD or a PCIe M2 SSD will only remove the constrictions of a spinning platter drive. In most any older machine, switching to a solid state drive will make a difference but you still have the limitations of the E1-series processor, an ultra low p...

Oh sorry missed that. Handbrake, install using MXPI has been my goto for many years now. It's a tiny download, it's simple, has some great preloaded presets as well as fine tuned manual adjustments to set the output quality from very small file size for tiny displays thru to massive, and it just wor...

Just use Asunder. When I used KDE for a time, I sought to use every possible feature it had to offer to see how it fared overall. Ripping Music CDs was one of them and I don't even remember the exact thing about the finished content, but it was simply not up to par, kind of reminiscent of how Apple ...

My guess is the 2nd monitor is on a preferred display signal lane. I used to get that when I have dual monitors setup on my ManCave machine with a temporary video card installed while I waited for my replacement. The monitor connected to the DVI port always woke first when thawing the machine and wh...

OK I guess your reference to Ventoy is what led me down that path. This brings to mind block level "backups" like the following two apps which only copy used blocks, a more efficient way of cloning that can extend your capacity to hold backups of cloned partitions because the overall size ...

When you understand the mechanics of how a UNIX type OS is started and you're thinking of making them operable from the USB, I think the answer would be no different to how one would setup a Multiboot system where GRUB picks each new each one with an update-grub from the only installed OS, but I thi...

Govt use of MS is ludicrous, but they and MS have their hands in each others pockets, so it comes as no surprise. IN NZ, our whole education system changed to Novopay in 2012, it crashed horrifically on the first run and all education staff went without pay for at least a month, some up to 2 months!...

It will do your machine no harm to install a Liquorix kernel because if you don't like the effects it has, which is highly unlikely, you can always simply open MX Boot and set the original kernel as default, then when you next reboot, you'll be running the MX Kernel. There is one effect the Liquorix...

Taken from the Intel page for your processor, the max resolutions for each type of supported display interface types are; Max Resolution (eDP - Integrated Flat Panel) 4096 x 2304@60Hz Max Resolution (DP) 4096 x 2304@60Hz Max Resolution (HDMI) 4096 x 2304@24Hz These only provide the maximums per port...

I'm in the same position with my ManCave machine. Had 2 sets of 4GB modules for 16GB total, but 1 set went bad so I'm down to 8 GB which is not going to be sufficient to run VMs, my security cams and a regular desktop system with SMB sharing. I'm just waiting to get some spare $$ to get 2x new 8GB D...
