MX Linux Revisited-Thank YOU

MX Linux Revisited-Thank YOU

There some problem with GRUB file and it did not recognize Reborn OS. I am reinstalling Reborn OS with a big /var partition for my additional applications.

It has finished installing.

I am currently installing MX Linux 6.1.0-35-amd64 Kernel.

It is almost two years.

I is using KDE desktop as its base.

I am installing Gnome desktop now.

Make sure one start with Gdm and not Sddm (one has to look for the type of desktop from the panel below).

I am used to the top right hand scheme of the Gnome.

Installation is very slow but everything is streamlined for a newbie with graphic instructions. 

It is nice to see even Reborn OS use MX Linux methods.

I hope it gets my GRUB file OK. 

Fortunately it lets me access my Gnome /Home folder to copy my books to MX Linux folder., in case I mess up with my Gnome.

I am well into Debian 13 series which bit refined and no complaints.

I have 2 Debian and one Reborn OS and MX Linux in my NUC with 320GB.

It has a 50GB NTFS folder which stores all my favorite Linux distributions that include Reborn OS, Manjaro, Bodhi 7.0.0.64, Arch, Antix, Debian old and new and many more images.

I went back to Gnome Desktop and got Synaptic Package Manager installed.

Stacer, Gdebi, Gparted and USB writer and USB formatter included.

Yes, using KDE is a pain in the arxx>.

I do not need to respond to every OK approval now.

By the way it supports open office.

Mx Linux 23.3-Install

Since, I have given up on Ubuntu, I decided to use another Linux distribution on top of Debian, Gnome, with a Light Weight Desktop.
I am beginning to Love Light Weight Desktops where on can fiddle with icon and windows.
In Flushbox Windows can be taken out of the monitor screen but they do not disappear but come from the other end.
It reduces the clutter even on a giant monitor.
I have also decided to Install it on a USB, instead of writing on a USB to mount.

I want it to be persistent copy and not a Live session.

It has lot of options and it is finishing install with Efi partition and a SWAP partition, in case I mount it on a Windows Box.
I takes long time to install USB stick which is understandable.
 

It booted with a user password and root password for Synaptic Package Manager.
I am currently installing,
1. AbiWord.
2. Stacer.
3. Notepadqq
4. Ranger
There is no LibreOffice.
 

Efi
/root is just under 10GB.
/boot
SWAP
No additional partitions.

I have found a way to add additional partitions say /var or /tmp.
