Re: The amazing music thread

recently got introduced to what I at first mistakenly thought was a "gimmick" band. but these ladies are seriously accomplished musicians and seem to have boundless energy.

Re: Dedoimedo: the end of a long, beautiful run?

A long time ago as a fan of MX I requested Dedoimedo review it. his first review caused quite a kerfluffle here and I was mortified :bagoverhead: ; BUT the Devs here took his criticism and used it to make MX better. later reviews were complimentary and he loved the improvements. I think his latest r...

Re: The best choice

:happy: I have installed MX19 on all but my chromebook which runs GalliumOs. MX just works; I use my desktop to lookup information; do some online finance, a little word processing and scanning in doc's. all the tools in MX work for me.

SSD Trim???

searched the forum and FAQ and am trying to find out:

can I set trim to run weekly in ANTIX and how?

I'm thinking of replacing my MX 19 install on my DELL 4700 which uses an SD for the boot drive and want to be able to set up trim. I'm hoping to get a slight performance/speed boost. :happy:

Re: Chromebooks End Of Life

No matter what if you want a full Linux install on a chromebook you have to: -remove the write protect(almost always a screw inside the unit). -Flash a new bios in order to boot from usb. - install new Linux of choice from USB. There are "work arounds" to use Linux but as far as I know the...

Re: Chromebooks End Of Life

Gallium is optimized for the weird chrome book keyboard. I got lucky and got my c720p in bulk from a school lease sale. But that model can be found on Groupon for 79 to 99. Mx ran great on an old Toshiba netbook so I'm sure it will run on a chromebook
