A frustrated YouTuber has made a video about upgrading MX Linux from v16 to v17
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yROPR-oZrEo
He sounds distraught.
Would it be possible for this to be addressed?

Re: MX update problem
no. and we have been pretty up front about it.
too much changed, and we were not set up to roll. maybe for the future, but not today.
edit:::I read this wrong. there is a box to check as stevo said.
he wasn't talking about "rolling"

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Re: MX update problem
He's wrong about needing a separate home partition to save the settings there, too, which seems to be the main complaint. The save home feature works fine without one. My guess is that he forgot to tick that box.

Re: MX update problem
Yep, it works that way - I installed MX17 over my MX15 partition preserving /home , which was in the root partition, not separate.Stevo wrote:He's wrong about needing a separate home partition to save the settings there, too, which seems to be the main complaint.
