Themes &Init migration - Mint - MX Linux

[HollyCow]

I know it might be trivial for some, but..
1 - Can anyone let me know how I can import the papyrus theme on MX Linux to my Mint?
So far I did not find any - but it's really light on the eyes for me and pleasant to work on.

SOLVED: >sudo add-apt-repository ppaapirus/papirus

sudo apt install papirus-icon-theme-<flavor>

Flavor can be: Dark, Light, Purple, Olive and more
- Then Use the 'themes' in Mint menu to select the icon set you want



2 - MX Linux, can I switch from SysVinit to SystemD without starting an install from scratch or losing all my data?

SOLVED: You can either: install systemd-sysv - and it will do this automatically, or, according to another source (untested) - you can change this beforlogging in the initial screen where you have also 'options'.

-Any practical help will be greatly appreciated.

How to use systemd in Debian

ystemd is a well-known Linux system and service manager. Since Debian 8, systemd has been the default init system. It is compatible with both SysV and LSB init scripts. Therefore it can take the place of sysvinit in some situations.
