It’s a weakness. I need a distro hopping addiction recovery group ;)
I got over it by getting old and becoming calcified and cranky. New and shiny does nothing for me any longer.

Re: The Story of MX Linux - nice and brief. [Solved]

It should be noted that MX was originally conceived for use with low powered netbooks that were reaching Windows EOL and wouldn't run with newer MS versions. Hence the lightweight antiX base and the choice of a midweight DE in Xfce. It also is the reason for the default side panel.

Re: Why use OpenDocumentFormat over MS Office formats?

I've seen several partials, but have never experienced a total eclipse. The April 24 path goes right over my home (Bloomington IN). Hope I make it that long.

Re: MX23 first huge upgrade number.. is this safe?

After a massive upgrade like this, I normally copy ALL terminal output, once it's finished, to a temporary file and leave it for a few days.
