I like Linux because it's an open landscape. At least you have found something that you seem comfortable with. It took me a few years to learn and understand Linux before i was comfortable enough to switch. I still Google solutions or simply discuss them in forums to this dayMy go to media...

Doesn't installing restricted extras or build essentials fix the issue?

Oh I see what you mean. I'm normally not good with advice when i am not in front of the problematic PC. Could be a codec/addon/extension issue.

Have you tried right clicking on the drive and selecting "open with" and then set that programme to be default?

Welcome to Linux Land. It's always a breath of fresh air to hear people share positive experiences. I agree with your point that the "one size fits all" approach Window$ and Appl£ use you can. I also love the freedom. Most of all the fact that you can distro hop until you find one that suites...

thanks a million :cool:

I love the menu button. Can you share please? The simplicity of your desktop is fantastic

Why not test your distros in a virtual machine. That way your host machine will be intact and you almost have nothing to lose if something negative happrnd to the distro in the VM

@lekkerlinux when you logout from MX Linux look at the top right corner where there is the clock, stickman etc. You will see an icon with a few horzontal lines. Click on that icon and you will see different sessions e.g. XFCE. Thats where your Budgie session will be.Select Budgie and login as...

Hahahahaha or distro hopping affective disorder

By the look of things we'll probably go off topic in an off topic thread lol

I don't think that method has an option to create a custom live cd of my running OS. In terms of backing up. I use Macrium Reflect. I have an image save on an external drive so all's well with me on the disaster management side of things

...Speaking of stuff hitting the fan. Ive bumped into another issue check this out :eek: We are going off topic again.

That's a vague statement. It's like asking where you can buy a car...Yeah im just throwing it there lol (me and my big mouth :rolleyes:) Annnnnnyyyyhow! It depends what your laptop specs are and what you want from an operating system. What operating system are you used to?

Yup easy peasy lol

fantastic @lekkerlinux i will also keep that in mind.

I agree @ReginaBob computing should be a pleasurable experience not a not a symphony of paranoia and hyper-vigilance

I have completely ditched firefox for waterfox. I prefer waterfox to be honest. less bloat and calling home in my opinion. its been quite consistant for me. Not sure if its based on firefox esr. There must be a way of updating only one piece of software via the terminal. I tend to google search...

Always a wise idea to hold back until all issues are ironed out. I'm no expert with MX Linux as i only started using it from 18.2 it updated to 18.3 without issue. Speaking of Poorguy and the Wizard seem to be seasoned vets. Im in the UK. The time difference does my head in lol

Ive used this feature before it's like remastersys/pinguy builder. I have used it to clone a live iso of my installed system. I have not tried using it to transfer files to a fresh install i.e. MX 17 to 18
