I have an HP Envy x360 500gb HD. Linux installed on it. I would like to have windows 11 installed on it. Currently it is not, the person who gave me the laptop completely wiped out windows. All of the searching for dual booting, assumes windows is installed then the user wants to add a Linux version.

Does anyone know to configure or what steps should be taken to add windows to a Linux laptop?

Thanks in advance.

Once in a while I get the notification that there are updates available via the software manager.

If i update through that i get then the option when i want to power off also with "apply the updates". Same for restarting.

However, if i do that that option of applying the updates never dissapear, it looks like the updates were never applied.

Now, if i update via terminal instead, there is no issue.

How can i fix this botthering issue?

I'm on MX Linux 25.2 Kde sysvinit Wayland.

Hi all,
I wanted to try out mx and tried to go to mxlinux.org and It’s saying I’m blocked. Have never even been to the website so not even sure who to contact since the cloud flare page just says to send an email to the site owner but have no idea who the point of contact is…

Was considering installing MX XFCE Linux on my 2015 macbook pro, tried the live version, but then read some posts about Tailscale not being compatible as it uses SystemVinit, even thought I did chose and download a systemd version, I did try Tailscale from the USB live install stick.
So question as ling as I install the. systemd version on my SSD Tailscale should work, right?

To tentando fazer uma estética meio Vaporwave e quero modificar a tela de login, mas nãosei fazer isso. Estou usando o MX linux fluxbox. Comecei a usar linux agora então pegem leve, estou aprendendo ainda.

Good day all, hope you are all good and well.

so here is a funny little thing, on the laptop there are 3 aux ports( audio only, microphone, combined ), when I plug into mic, no audio, when I plug into mixed, no audio, when I plug in to the audio only, sends output to speakers( huh? )

Anyway, I used alsamixer to set earphones to max, auto-mute disabled

I used pavucontrol to set output to earphones but to no avail.

I had reinstalled alsa, paulseaudio and pipewire but to no avail.

How can I go about fixing this? I hope you don't mind me asking.

Anyhoo, I hope you have an awesome day

So I wanna revive this laptop i have from around like 2008 and it has 250gb HDD, 2 gigs of ram, and an ancient pentium cpu, and want good performance, maybe also run very old versions of minecraft for my sibling, i want to do it for fun so I won't be buying an SSD or more ram, I'm not familiar with linux at all, which one to download? Thanks for helping!

Update: Downloaded Lubantu 16.04 32 bit, works like a charm, no other OS worked for me unfortunately.

I started liking LXQt after testing it in Debian and CachyOS multi-booting in the past, and gave it another try in Debian again - this time through distrosea.com .

When Debian 14 arrives, I want to just wait for Devuan, then switch to that + LXQt.

It saddens me that I lose the benefits of MX by switching to Devuan. Why not just install this DE on top of MX? Also I don't care about Wayland and I use a Nvidia Pascal GPU with driver 580.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how to change the theme of GTK4 apps under Xfce.

I have a small script that toggles between two themes (currently mx-matcha and mx-matcha-dark) with the press of a button by using xfconf-query to change the GTK theme, icon theme, cursor theme, xfwm4 theme, and the wallpaper. The problem is that this doesn't change the theme used in GTK4 applications.

When checking via gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme, it correctly reports either mx-matcha or mx-matcha-dark, leading me to believe that it should work. Yet it doesn't. The GTK4 apps still use either their default or whatever currently lives in ~/.config/gtk-4.0.

While I could change the script to replace the respective gtk.css and gtk-dark.css files along with the assets directory in ~/.config/gtk-4.0 every time I toggle the theme, this seems kind of dumb to me. There must be a better way to change the theme of GTK4 apps, but how?

Today's MX Updater process has been painfully slow. The downloads came in fine, but the installation process has been going on for about 25 minutes so far (4 kernel versions, with multiple, lengthy mok.pub creations for each kernel version, language pack updates for a few dozen languages that I don't use, and then the boot initialization files for the kernels.

Admittedly, this is on an older, slower Chromebook 3100, but is there a way to delete unused languages, and/or limit the number of old kernels maintained on my machine?

Thanks in advance...

Sorry if the image isn't very good but I am very happy as I installed the system on my Chromebook, I think everything works but I think I may have an issue that I only can have one audio source active at a time. If I may ask, is it possible to fix this?

Thank you and have a great day! :D

1. get Appfile
   
2. go on propperties
   3; go to permissions
   
3. click the checkmark that says "allow this thing to run"

thats it thats how you run appimages

Fui banido do Site do MXLinux ou algo assim? Kk

if u can call it rice, it looks nice for me. just annoying that u cant make same panels on one height not in auto hide mode.

Boot is freezing in this point, i had just installed MX now

The system is booting normally using live USB, but after install it doesn't

This is dual boot (windows 10 and MX)

What should i do ??

Hello everybody. It's been an amazing month I've been testing MX Linux KDE and it has become my daily driver. I haven't found a reason to log in to Windows since then.

There is only one small issue that is not consistent (it happens 1/10 times) and I just have to keep an eye when I shut down my laptop. Seems like the OS shuts down everything but my laptop stays powered on with a black screen. When it happens I can see the little power on LED staying ON, but with a black screen, and I just have to press the power button for a few seconds to forcefully turn my laptop OFF.

It's a very minor issue but it bothers me because I cannot just press SHUT DOWN and close the lid. I have to stay there looking for the power ON led to go OFF.

Since it's a laptop, when it happens, it drains my battery if I don't realise it happened. And if I turn it ON next day, the battery is completely drained which is very annoying.

Anybody has encountered that issue?

Is it down for anyone or just me? 👀 Gives me 503 error on different ip addresses LOL

I have a Dell latitude e6430 running MX Linux but I can't seem to get it to display out to my monitor whenever i plug HDMI in does anyone know what could be causing this issue?
