Awesome MX Linux installation video. I knew that Tails OS, AntiX etc. can run on the USB but never thought I can run MX Linux on an external SSD, love the step by step process. Please keep up the great work. Thank you !
Seriously an massively underrated channel and the best MX Linux *external drive installation video anywhere. Everything went smooth as silk, except for one small hang up with MX-23 Libretto on my system: needed to create a GPT partition for BIOS-GRUB and flag it. Altogether outstanding!! Thank you, friend!
I installed it on my main machine-- set everything up the way I watned-- customizations etc.. and then did the SNAPSHOT and turned it into an ISO on a USB and can boot it to any machine I want-- and it comes up exactly the way I had it set on my main machine before-- including all customizations, my background slideshow- etc. LOVE this distro. After 3 years of distro-hopping- I'm HOME- and it even has almost everything AV LINUX (the mx version loaded with all audio/video stuff) has... couldn't be more perfect. It's VERY fast. light on resources-- actually LESS than the xfce I had before-- and I'm on KDE- with unlimited customiztions.. I've tested everything HARD- and no glitches yet AT ALL...
Many thanks for a great video. I have succesfully installed MX21 on a USB drive. I used a ACER Swift 3 I had setup a password to access the BIOS and disable Secure Boot. The rest was straight foward. Thank for a great video.
Thx a lot. Your'a genius!. Tried for 2 days with "help" of other ytbers to install mint or debian on a external drive. Done all what they told - all failed. But today it worked like a charm😊😊😊😊 Installed Mx 23. One little thing was strange: Geparted did not recognize my internal NVMe, only the external connected via NVMe-case and cable. But it worked. Great!
This is really awesome and can also help you install any linux distro on an external hard drive. I followed this steps with just a little tweak cuz not everything is the same with the two different distros and installed Parrot sec os on my external hard drive and it has been going well so far.... Thanks Staem!!!!
Thanks for your comment and for your link to this video, I followed it step by step and my 16 years old Mac now is running Mx21 from an usb3 hard disk on usb2 port. The overall performances are similar to Mac OS 10.7 but finally I can use more recent applications.
Any few words of thanks to you. You are the best person who gave a tutorial on how to deal with Linux. I ask you to study grub btrfs with mx. Thank you.
I have some questions, in the minute 30, you put in blank where the word ESP was, why this is necesary? (sorry if my english is not very good), then in the minute 31:52 for default take de EFI of the wndows and you change for me external disk EFI, it es clear to me, but in distro like Ubuntu, always take the Windows EFI, I understand that in MX there is nor this issue right?. I understan that this metod is the same if I have two ssd and I want install MX-Linux in the second is it right too?. Thanks in advance for your answers
@jlom48 Hi, at 30mins I put a blank everywhere except the external HDD where MX is being installed. That way the external HDD is bootable on different computers because it has the grub bootloader. If you are installing MX onto an internal HDD, you can use the main ESP bootloader.
Cool thnx! There is the easier option during setup at step '13. Select type of installation' to do a 'Regular install using the entire disk'. The reason I do it the way I do is specifically for speed of use with the Timeshift app.
Nice video fairly clear I will run through it again to make sure I understand it the steps .I will try and use my 240GB external SSD for this distro.Fingers crossed. I like the idea of this as it will not mess with my win10 OS on the C drive. Thanks once agailn for this video and Wil watch further episodes on setting up Linux.
I have a problem. My laptop has a 512GB Nvme SSD, and a 1TB SATA SSD. The Nvme drive has Windows 11 on it. I want to install MX Linux on the 1TB SSD, but MX Linux doesn't even see the 1TB SSD. I went into GParted and refreshed the devices and it still doesn't read it. Is there a way for MX Linux to see my 1TB SSD? I don't want the 512GB Nvme to be erased or partitioned, because I use it exclusively for Windows gaming.
Thank you sir, a question please, when you created the home file and the root file, why did you not specify the space and in this case the value will remain automatically changed
Thanks for the detailed explanation.I am thinking of changing ti linux.Which distribution would you recommend,especially that I use office word ,excel and multimedia basically. Greetings for you from Iraq.
@Saad Chasib Daghir It depends on the hardware you have available. If you're using an older computer then MX Linux is excellent and stable. Linux Mint is an easy entry point if you're new to Linux too. If you have higher specs on your computer, then you have many options. As far as Office Word and Excel, there are great alternatives that have very similar functionality and my recommendation would be OnlyOffice for MS compatibility. Libre Office is great too. Cheers!
great as always, very detail tutorial for newbie. 1. could this method used on any other linux distro sir? 2. may i know what is the differences between rufus and balena etcher sir? 3. any comments on slax linux? have a great day sir.
Thanks! and in response to your questions: 1. Absolutely you can use this method with other Linux distros. 2. I've had greater success installing Linux on legacy systems using Rufus but Etcher works fine for newer systems. That said, Rufus is Windows only whereas Etcher is Windows, Linux and Mac. 3. I haven't tried Slax yet but it looks really interesting as a USB run OS. I might try it out when I have the time. Thanks for your questions. Have a good one.
@@StaempunkTV thank you for your quick reply sir. duly noted. may i ask why there is no video from you sir for quite a while? i hope you're fine and it just because busy on your daily routines. have agreat day sir.
I have an external drive coming in the mail TUE. Can I back up my stuff onto it- then CHANGE the main storage drive to BTRFS and then RELOAD my stuff back on it?? I want to make BTRFS my program-- and how about my SSD (only thing on my SSD is the operating system- and I have 20 of those to choose from-- ona usb with VENTOY-- so i CAN wipe it and reload or protram it to BTRFS -- whatever it takes???? IDEAS??
Yes you should be able to change the file system without data loss. One trick I've done while distro hopping is to create a BTRFS "DATA" partition with my files on it at the end of the HDD that I don't format during Linux installs. Then I mount that partition after the installations.
@@StaempunkTV I want the WHOLE thing BTRFS-- and I do that with my data now- on a 2T drive.. getting a backup tomorrow- and will save everything on it-- and then do the changing to be safe..

@hartonpictures5008 There is a thread on the MX Linux forum that might help: forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=43691 Ada utas di forum MX Linux yang mungkin membantu: forum-mxlinux-org.translate.goog/viewtopic.php?t=43691&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=id&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Great video and every part of it but sir I do have really big concern. I installed MX on a generic usb-stick with 86mb/s read speed and 11mb/s write speed. Firefox browser takes the infinity to open up the starting page. According to MX stats, my HDD was at 31%, memory at 8% and CPU at 0%. I run it on RTX3060 laptop card and I7 4-core processor. Is that my usb being too slow for MX?
Yep, it's not usually recommended to run most Linux distros from USB sticks unless the OS has very low RAM requirements. Tails OS, AntiX and Puppy Linux are examples of a USB friendly distros. Trying to run a distro from a USB stick means that everything has to not only run from the USB but also has to read/write through the USB port so if you're using USB-A or USB-B you will be limited speed-wise when running a web browser as many browsers (Firefox & Chrome come to mind) have quite heavy memory requirements these days.
so...if one had an already-partitioned SSD ready for the Install, one could Skip to that part, with using GParted? Right?! Wouldn't the Loader from Ventoy simply Install properly into any external drive, without that GParted-stuff?? :-))) I've been wrong before....but would one have to View this Video's "steps-to-follow", while their transitioning PC goes through these "steps-"?? One or the other, right??
@antoniiocaluso1071 You are correct! In the 'Select type of installation' section, you can select 'Regular install using the entire disk' and the MX Linux Installer will automatically partition the external HDD for you. Timestamp: th-cam.com/video/TbOa4w1O_6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ittySmFvrow-rN38&t=1372
brilliant...I've recently made the switch from Windows 11 to MX and I've learned a bunch watching this....tell me is there any way to increase the "grab size" of the resizing corners? that is a serious pain. I found ALT+F8 snaps to the corner for resizing but thanks for pointing out the right-click method...cheers!
I'm glad the video helped! There are a couple of inbuilt themes called 'MX Dark Thick Borders' & 'MX Light Thick Borders' that are great to use that widen window borders & corners. Here's a shortcut to how to apply them from the next video: th-cam.com/video/EO7yd5yWN7c/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
@@StaempunkTV Thank you so much I'll check the link out.....new to Linux so didn't even think of themes being a fix, I'm still thinking Windows....cheers!
@@StaempunkTV I was told that the "Grab Size" was a feature/function of XFCE....so for a long time I have been avoiding this DE....if the tolerances are a function of theming...I will have another look.
I've never used Linux but want to, what a clear explanation you gave, thanks, also can I ask which Linux is the best for people like me who have only ever used Windows? thanks
Probably the easiest and most stable entry into the Linux realm for Windows users is Linux Mint - everything works out of the box. That said, there are plenty of other user-friendly Linux distros out there that easy to use. I love using MX Linux due to its stability, speed and configurability. It is common for Linux users to 'distro hop' (try different Linux distributions out) to find what they like best and also what runs best on their hardware.
Yesterday (3/14/22) I installed MX Linux 21 KDE on a server (that had Windows Server 2019) and on a laptop (that had Windows 10 64 bit). MX Linux 21 runs nice and smooth. It is quite elegant and performs well. Loved it. However, I experience Internet issues on both of them. It's like, it won't ever open any website. I connected both through Ethernet wired connection and the laptop could never run a TH-cam video and some sites would never open. And the sites that would open, it took like two minutes or more. The Internet Download Speed in that network is 130Mbs and works fine because I have other Windows 10 devices connected to it. How can I fix this issue?
Hmm, I'm not sure what the issue is. The team at the MX Linux forums might be able to help. They're very helpful. There are already a few threads on slow internet. eg. forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=640215&hilit=slow+internet+wifi#p640215
Yeah it's a great way to use MX without affecting your computer's internal setup. Of course there will be speed limitations because data has to go through the USB port but if you're using an SSD on a USB-C port then you'll be flying. One of my viewers said he installed and set up MX onto an external HDD and sent it to his daughter to use.
@@StaempunkTV o damn this is a big + for lunix user's so i guess i only need to find a stable usb box for the hard drive try to find a SSD version and i can have lunix as a portable operating system too . damn , damn . but i guess i will still have to make a double boot so i can use it . by the way in what box did you put your hard disk in what's called sense this will be a + to know .
sadly ahs 21 version is seems not validated correctly on my laptop with secure boot and tpm on. so i used standard version or ahs 19, since its working fine.
Good to know. I've never used the AHS versions because none of my hardware is new enough. As far as I'm aware, it is recommended to turn off secure boot for most Linux distros (at least during install). Thanks for the feedback!
I've installed MX Linux to an 2.5"internal SSD drive, using a sata to usb3 adapter cable, plugged into the usb3 port, on my laptop. It works pretty good. It does freeze up, every now and then. It runs as a "Live" system, with persistence.
Cool. I've been dual booting MX Linux with Windows 8.1 and it's running great. Interesting that yours freezes occasionally. I wonder what the issue is?
@@StaempunkTV I think it has something to do with that it's running as a "live" system, as opposed to and installed system. It may have something to do with the persistence file being loaded, and running in memory, until shut down,or restart, when you're asked if you want to save your session, and sync to hard drive. I'm just speculating.
Zorin is awesome but it requires a little more RAM and system resources hence why I've gone with MX Linux for my underpowered systems. My next video will be on how I setup and theme MX Linux to beautify it. 😃
@@StaempunkTV Thanks for the reply! I guess then I'll be happy with Zorin on my i7 6700k 16GB RAM rig :) Looking forward to your next video... I wonder how beautiful MX Linux can look😀
Jeez, this is complicated for the average user. You lost me at the partitions. I just want to know how to put my bootable USB with Zorin OS on it to my external hard drive. Nothing fancy or complicated. I cannot do partitions. One needs to be an IT guy to do this, So I must set up partitions before I can do anything with this External Hard Drive? How about if I just run Linux from the USB?
@thesilentgeneration Oops sorry if it was confusing! You can let the MX Linux Installer create the partitions for you by selecting the "Regular install using the entire disk" at the 'Select type of installation' stage: th-cam.com/video/TbOa4w1O_6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XexGUO7qhbfXFIUD&t=1372

by the way in what box did you put your hard disk in what's called sense this will be a + to know .
@GOD KEK LIVES HERE Yep, you're onto it, it's definitely a major +. I put the HDD into a HDD enclosure caddy.
@@StaempunkTV aw cool
When do we expect new videos?
@atuldubey8146 I'm researching some new ones right now so hopefully early next year.
@@StaempunkTV Happy New year btw.😊
@atuldubey8146 Happy new year to you too 🎊
I wish you a lesson on booting Linux MX and Windows Android. Thank you very much
sadly ahs 21 version is seems not validated correctly on my laptop with secure boot and tpm on. so i used standard version or ahs 19, since its working fine.
Good to know. I've never used the AHS versions because none of my hardware is new enough. As far as I'm aware, it is recommended to turn off secure boot for most Linux distros (at least during install). Thanks for the feedback!
I've installed MX Linux to an 2.5"internal SSD drive, using a sata to usb3 adapter cable, plugged into the usb3 port, on my laptop. It works pretty good. It does freeze up, every now and then. It runs as a "Live" system, with persistence.
Cool. I've been dual booting MX Linux with Windows 8.1 and it's running great. Interesting that yours freezes occasionally. I wonder what the issue is?
@@StaempunkTV I think it has something to do with that it's running as a "live" system, as opposed to and installed system. It may have something to do with the persistence file being loaded, and running in memory, until shut down,or restart, when you're asked if you want to save your session, and sync to hard drive. I'm just speculating.
I do like MX better than Mint, but it has a Puppy odor?
FYI I divorsed Windoze years ago
Puppy odor 😂
Ventoy is your friend!
It sure is!
Sure. You installed it on an external hard drive, but you didn't show it working.
Btw I'm still torn between MX Linux and Zorin OS. I know MX is extremely stable but Zorin looks absolutely beautiful in my opinion 😅
Zorin is awesome but it requires a little more RAM and system resources hence why I've gone with MX Linux for my underpowered systems. My next video will be on how I setup and theme MX Linux to beautify it. 😃
@@StaempunkTV Thanks for the reply!
I guess then I'll be happy with Zorin on my i7 6700k 16GB RAM rig :)
Looking forward to your next video... I wonder how beautiful MX Linux can look😀
Mx linux all the way
Rufus, Torrens, click here, go there, holy shit!
Jeez, this is complicated for the average user. You lost me at the partitions. I just want to know how to put my bootable USB with Zorin OS on it to my external hard drive. Nothing fancy or complicated. I cannot do partitions. One needs to be an IT guy to do this, So I must set up partitions before I can do anything with this External Hard Drive? How about if I just run Linux from the USB?
@thesilentgeneration Oops sorry if it was confusing! You can let the MX Linux Installer create the partitions for you by selecting the "Regular install using the entire disk" at the 'Select type of installation' stage: th-cam.com/video/TbOa4w1O_6c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XexGUO7qhbfXFIUD&t=1372

🤣
No disrespect to you but you look like an older Justin Bieber.
> faster than Windows
Not really something to brag about. 🤣 🤣
@pipbernadotte6707 True that 😆
