MX is 10!

The first release of MX, MX-14, a 32 bit only release that fit on a CD, was turned loose on March 24, 2014.

I threw together a little retrospective. https://youtu.be/nJ9MMfPN00A

So to all the devs and users, thank you for the last 10 years, they've been great!

It installed. It just means the apt actions happened outside a sandbox.

But looking at the output you may have removed things you didn’t want to remove.

Re: How to get MX a place at the MS Entra ID table

better question is how do they tell the difference between MX and debian. we do not alter the debian_version file or the os-release, so most things should ID mx as debian. unless they are checking something like lsb-release, which in that case that could be edited to match debian's os-release file. ...

Re: groff not working properly

thank you.

those files are failing to be created initially when groff is installed during iso build. But I can fix the issue. Thanks for the report.

Make sure a root account has an active password. If you did not set a root password at install do this first. sudo passwd root And complete those steps. They take effect immediately. Then in mx tweak set the gui authentication to use the root password. This step takes effect immediately. Then take y...
