MX Linux KDE-Install

 I must say it is much better than Ubuntu Linux.

MX Linux KDE-Install 

After the trauma with Catbird Linux and AV Linux MX Edition failures, I decided to Install MX Linux KDE in one of my Debian Instances without erasing the home partition.

It is almost over.

Its installer is graphical just like Debian Mepis Linux of the old time.

If one is a newbie carefully read the graphical instructions in every step of the way. 

I did read every instruction.

Yes, MX Linux has lot of tools,

See you soon with MX Linux booted. 

It has a lovely graphical boot menu  and it took a little while to boot unlike Debian which is simple and text mode at the beginning and let me know the current sate of the system.

I installed Abiword on the live mode and the beauty was it remembered it and kept with the installation.

I need not install it again. 

I have to learn how the MX Linux package Installer work.

Anyway, I am going to use it for the next couple of days and post you with updates. 

Its updating takes a hell of a lot of time. That is the problem with KDE. 

I want to get Synaptic package manager installed but automatic update is frozen in mid air and not finishing the task intended. Says 77%. Finally it finished.

But I had to install missing parts of Abiword and Synaptic Package Manager.

Installed virtual machine BOX but it did not work. Similar with Gnome Pie.

Gnome USB formatter did not work .

Worse scenario was that it could not remove large image file to save some space. It was already there in the /Home folder of Debian which I did not format.

All in all this is the same reason I never use K.D.E. I started my Linux life with KDE desktop of Suse. 

I may consider used MX Linux XFC or Flushbox simply because of its MX Utilities.

I should try and see how they work. 

I am left with fancy looking KDE boot up menu.

Update

Overall not a bad expeirnce.

It has K torrent as default.

I installed Delge using Synaptic and it works fine.

I down loaded the MX 23.5 64 bit version for as a saftey mechanism.

It has two browsers, Firefox as the fdefault with Knoqueror as secondary.

I downloded Falkon and dill using Synaptic.

It graphic intensive and slow to boot but very neat and clean unlike Glossy windows.

One who comes from Windows background I recomment to use the KDE version of MX Linux.

Better still use Netrunner which is (only 2.6GB) better organozed with alphbetical list of applications. It already has synaptic bundled in.

Anyway, Linux is the winner but it has many more window managers than Gnome and KDE.

I have most of them installed with Debian Gnome and one has to pick and choose the desktop one want to use at boot time.

This will end my Linux blah blah and I am going to finish my books.

One book will be finished here. It is about three wonderful dogs.
