it is possible to make buttons like close/minimise etc on every windows Bigger ?
Is there a way to get administrative access to firefox. It seems there are more complicated safe guards to get administrative access. It's been a long time since I ran MX. So I can't be too particular, with my problems.
Also curious about proton and Vulcan.
When configuring your machine, I highly recommend to use snapshot and put the *iso on a bootable USB. So you will be able to recover with exact the settings as you wish. BIG TIME SAVER!!!!!
Try creating an MX-Snapshot (EXCLUDE as much of your home directories as you can to keep your snapshot size low - easily done in the gui), then use MX-Live-USB-Maker and use a USB SSD instead of a flash drive. Settings should be "full-featured..." and for Personal use. Then boot from the SSD via USB (2/3 - whatever) on your PC -or- any PC (32 vs 64 matters!) . When booting, choose "Persist All" and "Save". You will have everything included in the snapshot and you WILL BE AMAZED at the speed EVEN on USB 2.0. If you have an Nvidia card, you will need to include "xorg=nvidia" on the boot screen following the "splash...." options. NO OTHER DISTRO CAN DO THIS! After logging in, you could use the "Install" icon to install it to the hard drive.
@marthale7 But can you boot from your cloned drive on another PC or even a Mac?
@marthale7 The beauty of having your tailored system on a usb flash drive is the ability to run it live on any PC, Mac whose BIOS will let you boot from usb and optionally let you install it to a hard drive on that device. I've had great luck with this. On a Mac, well not so much, but I haven't given up on this - I think I did something wrong. Bottom line, you can take your MX-linux customized USB, and execute it on any conforming PC (remember about 32-bit vs. 64-bit).
Hmm
It's a pretty good tutorial. I had forgotten about dockbarx. One thing you didn't mention which I think is totally awesome after you make all the changes to the install is to do a "snapshot" and make your own modified version. Burn it to a USB stick. Now you can install to other machines and all the changes are already done... or share with others... it's the bomb :-)
Dude! This was awesome. Running MX on a 2011 iMac flawlessly and these tips made it much better!
Thank you so much, this was helping me so much as a newbie which started with MX just a week ago.
I love the wallpaper you're using! That wallpaper alone is enough to make me wanna use this distro lol!
I dual booted MX Linux with windows 11. Thank you for helping me set up my MX Linux. There are a few theme features missing and some of my control panel windows have things in different locations. But you helped me figure most things out 🙂
This video gave me 2 new things to do. I also install "Gnome Software Center", uninstall "Libre office" and install Softmaker FreeOffice instead, I uninstall the games, uninstall Flash, uninstall Thunderbird, as well as several other things.
I install Nemo file manager (I use Thunar AND Nemo equally as much), Brave browser, Chromium browser, Tor browser, I install SMPlayer (I know I'm weird, I like that ugly retro look!)
I uninstall and install a few more programs, make a few more tweaks, setup a 2nd panel at the top of my screen with icons to programs and hard drives I use often, as well as to folders with programs I use often.
I absolutely LOVE how MX Linux makes all of this so simple to do! No other distro I've tried allows me the kinds of freedoms and abilities to do a variety of things as MX Linux does!
Thanks for the excellent write up. Just curious why freeoffice over libreoffice
@@damianranko9740 Thanks for the compliment. I try to be as clear as I can. :)
FreeOffice loads way faster than Libre, it's faster in general (to me anyway), it's smaller, and it looks & feels a lot like MS Office right out of the box. I'm a new Linux user (switched in April of this year), and I used "FreeOffice" in Windows for years. So of course, there is the "familiarity" factor as well. It's available in the "MX Package Installer" under "Office."
The one thing that annoys me about FreeOffice in Linux though, is that I'm forced to install "PlanMaker" and "Presentations" and I never use them. I just want "TextMaker." But even though this is the case, the whole suite is still smaller than Libre's suite, and possibly even Libre's word processor. But I could be totally wrong on that.
If I try to uninstall the other 2 programs, TextMaker will not work. It's all or nothing. >:(
How did you installed Nemo file manager? i am also new to linux...thanks
@@oliverstone631 Open "Synaptic Package Manager" and type nemo, it should be the 1st on the list. To the right it should say "File manager and graphical shell for Cinnamon." Right click on it and select "Mark for installation" next, from the top menu bar click "Settings" scroll down to "Preferences" left click, now in this window check the box that says "Consider recommended packages as dependencies" Click "apply" then "Ok" next, on the menu bar on the top click the icon that says "Apply" and this should install nemo.
If you are on Facebook, I recommend joining the MX Linux Facebook group. There are lots of nice & helpful people there.
@@mikestrickland2755 Thanks you very much ,i really appreciate your reply
I like this tutorial, I'm a beginner in this field didn't know how to turn off a comp 3 years ago, thanks a lot.
Thank you very much, it's help me to make my MX Linux better. I've try to installed redshift and i got it here!
Damn, this is a super guide not just to MX Linux but to a lot of useful tools you might see elsewhere. Great video! Never subbed off just 1 video before until today :)
Thank you so much, keep up the good work!
Great and useful video as always!
Great video! Really helped bring some life into an old laptop I had, thanks a lot =)
Really helpful video. Thanks you :D
Great video as always... I have used MX for 2 years and did not know about some of them. I like the
Thanks for these, they help allot!!
Thank you for these videos, very helpful.
Thank you so much it helped me a lot 👍
Thanks man. Helped a lot!
Very nice video sir. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
amazing work!!
Thank you
thank you very much,as a new user of linux your explication are very good and explicite.Greetings from Spain
Thank you a lot! This is very useful 🙂👍
thank you for sharing, it helped a lot
Good Job!
Your lessons are very good! Thank you! Can I ask you to make such a video for MX Linux KDE

Another Awesome Video 🥳
Thank you for this very usefull tips and for the excellent video presentation :-)
Great video as always! Could you make a video about installing compiz in MX Linux?
Very useful!
thank you that helps a lot
Great vid, Thankyou
Very informative 👍
Great video, I'd already done the ones I wanted. Watched to see if you came up with something different. I kept one game for when I'm rendering a video. I reduced the grub screen to 2 seconds which speeds boot up, but leaves me a couple seconds to hit the keyboard IF I decided I want to later.
I made the panel transparent so my wallpaper shows through. and the icons looks like they are floating now.
Instead of theme choices, I click the individual items and make each icon special, for example I use the gargoyle-house for the whisker menu icon.
I love a clean screen and just toggle conky so nothing is on the screen except the apps being run.
Thanks for the suggestions and showing the howto on each one.
Arc theme is nice except for the dotted lines in the scroll areas, but Arc is supported by Thunar so you can remove the dotted lines in the scroll areas.
Thank you for video. :)
Hello, great video again as usual, so thanks!
I'm building my dream Linux game PC based on another video of yours, and I was wondering if you'd recommend MX Linux for gaming. If so, should I choose xfce, kde or fluxbox? If not, then which other Linux repo(s) would you recommend?
I've been using Ubuntu for many years now and it seems pretty dependable. But if there is another Linux version out there specifically geared towards gaming which would increase my gaming pleasure, then of course I would like to use that one instead.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
big THANK YOU!!!!
amazing video thnx for help
This was so helpful! I wish I had seen this earlier. I couldn't figure out why my Firefox windows repeatedly opened. I couldn't find anything under the mouse setting. I didn't know it was a tweak! The menu system is too complicated. I wish they would make your settings the default.
you save my day
nice video.. I understand you like windows alike desktop
Single click is the first thing I enable on any system I’m going to work on. I really don’t like double click, it feels so unnecessary to me. Great tutorial as usual, thanks man.
Single click is default on MX Linux.
I use single on the desktop and double in thunar.
Your " to do after installing " videos are always extremely helpful.
Question.. can Deepin Menu be edited?
I installed 'bpytop', 'cbm' 'etherape', tiptop', now I want to add them to the Deepin-Menu, 'alacarte' the gnome editor dose not work.
Excellent.
fluxbox there is an interface and you can enter it when you select a
session? or need something in xfce configure it? if Yes, you can read a
little more or give a link where it is written about it and what
commands?
ALU, I've been trying to install an "Alternative Widget" in MX Linux KDE... specifically, "Launchers/Menus", I get an "error" popup when I select the "default" launcher to begin, that error involves... "QtQuick" not installed, when I search the repositories for this their is more that one choice...can you help?
I need openrgb and an app to control the nvidia video card fans, but haven't gotten them to work,
Thank youuuu
Hello Sir, What should I do? My system - Lenovo Ideapad y700 gets hot after running for half an hour or so, is there any way to turn on the fan in MX Linux. In windows 10, There is Lenovo Nerve Sense through which I can turn on the fan to spin when the temperature rises while playing a game. Please guide me. Thank you..
I don't use Conky, but with Cinnamon, I customize the panel in a way that is similar to dockbarx.
Hey, I have tried various Linux Distros on my Laptop but I've rarely come across videos about Internal Temperature which affects the battery life in various Linux Distros.
Could you make a video about the Temps and Battery Life 9n various Linux Distros, please....
In my experience the best temps and battery life is offered by Manjaro marginally followed by Ubuntu. All other distros(Zorin, LinuxMint, Pop-OS!, etc.) had atleast 10°C higher at idle. The worst was Deepin.
P.S.: I've installed TLP in all the distros which didn't come pre-installed with it.
what is screen recorder that you used in this video?
Have you ever done a video on puppy 64? Some of us out here use it.
Finally..
Waited 5 days for the video..
what do i need to use, to get the right side, what do i need to do and what software
The second partition is not visible after installing the MX, how can I show it.
i have tried MX Linux, Pop Os and Open Suse, all 3 have issues with my MSI laptop wifi when use with speakers on bluetooth. internet slows to a halt and i couldn't find a fix so back to oood old windows 10. No one seems to talk about issues on Linux.
Now my laptop wifi works really fast again on Windows 10 without issues.
The clock does not show up on my dock/taskbar. How do i get the clock to show?

Hey redshift is not working, throwing error of geolocation and in xcfe there is no option of location to be enabled or disable this is disaster please help me i need redshift
I love MX Linux. Been using it since 19.1 I think. But I use it with the Cinnamon Desktop, installed from the MX Test Repo. Requires a Terminal that will run on Cinnamon, since XFCE Terminal won't, so I snatched up the plain old Gnome Terminal. Other than that, no problems. Linux Mint Cinnamon was the OS that finally pulled me permanently over to Linux a few years ago, so I just prefer Cinnamon.
Not sure if anyone else ran into this issue but when I installed dockbarx my MX Updater and blueman-applet icons disappeared from the notifications section. Found that uninstalling ayatana-indicator-application resolved the issue.
It will remove dockbarx but keeps dockbarx-common and xfce-dockbarx-plugin. Seems to still be working like I would expect and my notification icons are back.

Nice
This is all very fine, and I'm thankful for this video. But I can't find solution (or at least easy solution) for my problem which I thought that is simple: how to rotate display orientation on Lenovo Miix 300 laptop/tablet? I don't mean autorotation, but just simple 90-degree clockwise rotation, so I can use it like a normal laptop. I'll be very thankful for some solution :)
Jazzakallah 🙏
4:47 For me on MX 23 on VM scaling blurs the image. On windows 7 (also VM) there are no such problems, the image is clear.
I have heard that MX Linux uses different init system "sys v init" but snaps don't run in it. ALU, how can I enable systemd on MX ?
It's in MX Boot options section.
You can select it from the GRUB boot screen, and if want it as the default, use the provided Boot Options tool.
As always a very good tutorial. It makes me thinking about leaving Linux Mint... Debian and flatpak can be both stable and modern
That's what I did....Beware that some of the apps are older and if you are migrating/copying the .config files, some of them won't work because the databases will be too new.
But for me, it was worth it. Happy camper here.
Didnt see this one coming
Due touchpad over sensitive. I switched to Linux mint from MX Linux.

Dockbarx interfered with apt-notifier (MX Updater tray icon) for some people. If the updater disappears, uninstall Docbarx.
The built-in customization system of Plasma is something you will miss if you change to other DE. MX Kde is the real choice for everybody who wants an easy and beautiful customization. I don't say Xfce is a bad choice but Plasma it's better.

Bro pls make archstrike installation video
some advice please, how do i uninstall ubunt 18.04lts from a dual boot, and then install MX-linux? thank you for awesome videos
If you only want MX Linux, there is no need to uninstall any other OS. Just use the installer, and click the option to take over the whole sidk.
If you want to keep Ubuntu and add MX Linux, boot MX Linux live, and look at the instructions in the User Manual.
@@chrispop99 thanks for info Chris. i currently have MS-Win10 & Ubuntu18.04lts dual boot. i want to Replace Ubuntu with MX-Linux. do i remove the Ubuntu partition prior to instaling MX-Linux? (i want to keep the Win10)
@@leadlearner6391 No; just tell the installer to use that partition. It will format it automatically.
@@chrispop99 TY once again for your advice, much appreciated :-)
I just installed Mx linux(my first linux distro) but now i cant find wifi option to connect to my mobile hotspot. Can some1 pls help?
I think if you right click the internet logo next to the gem icon by the system clock, then press edit connections and press the plus button when you have wifi selected, you should be able to add a new connection.
Please make things to do after installing zorin os
I cant really think of many things to do after install, its pretty usable out of the box
Appreciate the video. Now I can uninstall a few apps.
Thank from Russia!
But i like Arch Linux only! KISS!
Andrey, Kaluga, 41.
I love this distro, but if I cannot get Steam installed and running, it's a no go for me. Pop-OS is for me at this time.
I can't get the volume to come up it's way too low
I just dumped MX and jumped on to Fedora.... MX had too many adjustments and it was too hard to find what I was looking for... Fedora with DNF, side loaded RPM's and the Gnome GUI's makes more sense.
MX LINUX❤
Hello friend, thank you for your tutorial, yuo know, I downloaded a theme for my Xubuntu 20.04 and when I put the theme in /home/myuser/.theme and after that I look for in the themes section and it doesn't appear the theme, the theme was Bazik white
Hi you might have solved it already but the folder needs to be named .themes and not .theme or it wont show in the list of themes

CLIP board and pasting does not work very well with MX LINUX....I switched to Debian....not sure what the attraction to this OS is...
MX Linux uses Debian, and the developers have made no changes to the way copy/paste works, so I can't understand your comment.
@@chrispop99 hey chris, the mechanics are a little different. I think in MX LINUX they tried to make the process more "controllable" by the user but it was just problematic. Swtiched to Debian and no problems. Seemless.....
@@kimtaiferragamo I can assure you with 100% certainty that copy and paste and the clipboard, are absolutely no different on MX Linux than in vanilla Debian.
BTW, I work with the development team.
i can assure you the problems i had were real and insurmountable...and work with copy and paste all day in my business so this one feature was important to me...i wanted to like mx linux but it did not work properly
@@kimtaiferragamo Yet weirdly a search of the MX Linux forum and of the Facebook page show no sign of this being reported by anyone...

i wish they had a good logo like linux mint. and don't put it on every single window.
