MX Linux KDE-Install

Password for MX Linux is Demo and MX Linux is based on AntiX.

I went to my magic wand.  

It is called AntiX, a Debian based Mepis derivative, which is tiny and the install time is only 10 minutes.

It restored my Boot Loader with all the distributions listed in its Menu.

I must say, it is much better than Ubuntu Linux.

MX Linux has several versions

1. Flushbox Versions

2. MX Linux XFCE

3. KDE Version

I would recommend KDE version which is sleek and has lot of applications which flushbox version lacks, including my favorite Abiword.

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 intuitively 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 in text mode at the beginning and Debian lets me know the current state of the system. An adequate warning is given of the faulty files and the daemons.

I installed Abiword on the Live Mode and the beauty was it remembered it and kept with the real installation.

I need not install it again. 

But I had to relearn how the MX Linux package Installer works.

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. 

This is the problem with Flatpak.

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 Mandrake and Suse. 

One should consider using MX Linux XFC or Flushbox, simply because of its MX Utilities.

I should try and see how they work. 

I am left with a fancy looking KDE boot up menu.

Update

Overall not a bad experience.

It has K torrent as default.

I installed Deluge using Synaptic and it works fine.

I downloaded the MX 23.5 - 64 bit version image as a saftey precaution.

It has two browsers, Firefox as the default with Konqueror as the secondary.

I downloaded Falkon and dillo using Synaptic.

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

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

Better still use the Netrunner which is (only 2.6GB) better organized with alphabetical 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 wants to use at the boot time.

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

One book will be finished here in MX Linux.

However, I went back to AbiWord in Debian Genome. 

It is about three wonderful dogs.

Neptune Linux 

This is another distribution coming from Germany.

It is no where when compared to Netrunner.

It lacks many applications.

No Synaptic and hence no Abiword.

MX Linux KDE is much better.
