Re: Systemd free MX19?
Idealogically I want no systemd. Pragmatically I'm booting into it right now because without it my wifi is wonky. This is going to be a big choice for MX very soon. I'll use MX with or without systemd where I can. But if sysVinit gets in my way I'll have to use something else. Ideology is the enemy...

Re: Systemd free MX19?
I guess I understand at a shallow level the technical/philosophical/political objections to systemd, but as an unsophisticated run-of-the-mill user, I don't see what all the fuss is about. I long ago gave up on tilting at windmills and worrying over unknown unknowns, and today just want my machines ...

Re: Who is using SSD's?
With the HDD it was 1 minute 30 seconds, with the SSD it's now 1 minute 11 seconds. It's fast er but not what I would call exactly fast. I'm a bit disappointed, but I suppose even a fast drive isn't going to make a slow computer become fast. It is what it is: 32-bit, 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 2GB DDR2 800MH...

Re: What to do after installing?
I am fairly new to mx linux. I installed it fresh on my acer aspire a515-51. I have an intel 7200u processor, and was wondering if there was anything I should do after a fresh install. What you should do (IMO) is take some time to familiarize yourself with MX as it is OOTB. You'll have plenty of ti...

Re: Just saw dolphin's blog post on systemd-shim
Sometimes in life -- and in Linux -- you just don't have a choice. systemd is what is being adopted going forward throughout Linuxdom. Sure, niche distros will stick to their never-systemd guns, but they will remain niche distros. Unless a solution can be found that can be maintained for the long te...

Re: Firefox disabling add ons!

"temporarily toggle xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config" Open a new tab, type about:config Search for xpinstall Double click on xpinstall.signatures.required That ...

Re: Firefox disabling add ons!
Mozilla hasn't released a fixed version yet. You always have the option of installing firefox-esr and using that until Mozilla fixes things. My SOP is to use firefox-esr and pin it. If it ain't broke it don't need fixing. I am now experiencing this Firefox fubar in a load of Mint with Fx ESR 52 whi...

Re: Who is using SSD's?
Regarding mounting the small 2.5" SSDs in a desktop, I've always used zip ties. Another option is velcro.
