Re: Thoughts about future of linux

My raison d'être for using MX is its incredible versatility--it just works. On everything I've ever thrown it on. Never met a wifi chipset it wasn't able to detect--in the background--and connect with my ancient Belkin router OOTB. It's easy to update, especially with apt-get. You can add other debi...

Re: A good laptop to run MX

Since HTML5 swaps pages, among other things, to the HDD in preference to RAM, you owe it to yourself to get one with fast (vertical MLC?) SSD, as a (typical) 5400 rpm HDD is miserably slow if you tend to run alot of tabs at once, especially with a slow cpu as well--such as an E2.

Makulu 9 or 10 xfce is nice. But so is mx-15. And Korora 23 / 24 Mate. And Kali for that matter.

Re: Unofficial MX 15-64 KDE snapshot

Memory is only cheap if your damn system allows you to add it! Which most netbooks do not--beyond 2 GB that is. Therefore, MY PRIORITIES have to be the lightest resource usage possible while still remaining useful and useable. KDE and Gnome3 are comparable on my netbooks to running Windows 3.1 on a ...

Re: Unofficial MX 15-64 KDE snapshot

I personally find KDE's stock interface...ANNOYING. Prefer XFCE. Not to mention the fact that KDE requires about 3 times the RAM to run it (as compared to XFCE). Memory Comparison--pay particular attention to the Bottom Bar Graph
