MX Linux Forum

I would be very much against enabling a firewall by default. I absolutely don't see the need for it in a home-user situation, and when using distros that have it, I have spent far too much time doing things like trying to transfer files, or getting a printer to work. The fact that Windows uses it as...

Yep, same for me, on multiple machines.

I love D630s - I still have half a dozen of them, and they are bomb-proof.

Everyone has a different interpretation of 'well', so not an easy question to answer. As long as you are not wanting to do video rendering or similar, the one thing that taxes older machines now is web browsing. MX will install and run on a single-core Pentium M, with 2GB RAM. Office apps, music, ev...

On that basis, I'm not sure your experience justifies describing Firefox as 'buggy as usual'.

Firefox runs perfectly for me on Linux. I have an instance of it open on its own workspace for perhaps 16 hours a day, and it is rock-solid. You didn't say why you found it buggy; perhaps re-post with more details, and someone might be able to help. Your 'problem' with how links are opened is actual...

VLC does far more things than just play video, and Clementine does far more things than just play music.
