Re: KDE theme wipes user's files using 'rm -rf'
Yes, MX KDE users will also be vulnerable. Yet another example of why I appreciate having become old, dull, and boring. Defaults are almost always just fine with me. "Themes? We don't need no steenking themes." @uncle mark :number1: You are pure "TREASURE" ;) I hear that all the...

Re: please advise best way to update from MX 19.4 xfce
Will that work even between versions? I never dared that one. I upgraded my install on 21 to the test version to get as close to the one that was on 23, breathed a sigh of relief as that worked with test and then it was easy enough to cross to the new MX, but I have never done a jump from.. what is...

Re: Best machine, and Intel or AMD?
One last thing. I advise all Linux users to keep a mile away from machines with nvidia graphics. Their drivers are just dog awful and always create problems down the track. I've been out of the game way too long. Back in the day when I was building machines (both cheap and higher end), nVidia was t...

Re: Mouse and keyboard froze after visited website had problem: [Solved]
Hi Charlie, Thanks - fortunately no MX partitions were compromised so all is well plus I've been taught a bit more. I'll mark this as solved now, cheers. I'm late to this party and this may not have any relevance to your initial problem/question, but I would strongly advise installing the uBlock Or...

Re: Yes, about all that old Windows 10 hardware.....
People didn't change their OS on their PC because for the longest time, besides maybe Vista, they didn't NEED to. Even the much maligned Vista, once you had the drivers for it and installed Service Pack 1, worked well, even if it was more heavy on the system requirements than XP. Again, you guys ar...

Re: Yes, about all that old Windows 10 hardware.....
I haven't "configured" anything on this MX19KDE load since I installed it, and even then it was all a point & click operation. Those of us who install our own OSs are a tiny sliver of the computing world. People buy a computer and run with what's presented to them. I've converted a han...
