1st time I have seen someone take the time to do a comprehensive walk thru install and show all config options. Very good Job! I actually watched the whole thing!. Really good Presentation skills and not boring. Thank you!
Thank you. This was a lot of work. No an incredible amount of work. Extremely well done. I watched the whole thing. One of the best tutorials I have seen in years. Very well paced and organized. I have been looking for info on MX when this popped up in my feed. Not my normal fare - as i have been using linux for almost 20 years. I had one of my nephews (who I just gave and old thinpak t440) watch this . It did a much better job of explaining and showing than I could even in person. I am really impressed. I am posting this in the MX subreddit. I hope that gives it some traction that it deserves.
MX Linux, given its stability and all those extra tools, is easily the most awesome Debian-based OS I have used since I came to Linux 12 years ago. So it's always great to see upbeat tutorials drawing attention to its many good points. But yours isn't just upbeat - as far as introductions to Linux systems go, it is probably the most user-friendly, persuasive presentation I've ever come across. Absolutely brilliant stuff, and for newbies the go-to thing if they want to gather info before they decide on what OS to install. I was alerted to it in the MX Linux Forum, and when I read it was nearly 2 hours long, I thought WTF - but I watched all of it without a single break. You are a fine communicator and deserve tons of credit for what obviously is a work of love. Oh, and your four-legged room mate is the icing on the cake :-)
I absolutely love making these videos and hopefully will make a new career out of it. I've still got a wee way to go but I'll get there. Thank you for watching and your kind words!
I have recently moved to Linux after 38 years of using MS Dos then Windows Did, of course, quite a bit of research and have looked at the obvious distros such as Mint then LMDE then Debian then Neon-Plasma 6.1 Of All the research I have done this 'Set-up...' vid has been the Most persuasive content on the benefits of Linux generally, and MX in particular. Will install MX asap. THANK YOU for the generous time and effort to make this and other vids. Your Xfce tuning vid will be next for me. I have recently had a feeling about that DE and hopefully it will be the one I stick with
Out-bloody-standing. I've been running Linux since my first Red Hat install in 99 and this is the best operating system tutorial I've ever seen--bar none. Thank you and congrats on a job well done. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
I am a new convert to Linux, you have the BEST instructional videos on MX Linux, thank you very much. I am having a hell of time installing Jellyfin. I appreciate any help. Thanks

This is an awesome, detailed presentation. I often searched how to tweak Mx linux, or was not sure of all those settings and it's all here in one video. Thank you. You got a subscriber :)
Well done. I really enjoy MX Linux XFCE. Your videos make it more functional and far better looking. I wouldn't have implemented many of the subjects on my own. Cheers!
I came across your channel just now, on July 27 because I was trying to learn more about MX Linux that I absolutely love. Straighaway I did learned some interesting things about tweaking, installing, partitioning etc. I have been using Linux Mint since 2006 and probably spent hundreds of hours of different videos on Linux. I have to tell you that I enjoy very much your approach in explaining every step that you make. It is very easy to follow and very informative. Thank you. Cheers!
Well, Bully was not very impressed.😆 Thanks for this detailed and great video on setting up the XFCE version of MX-Linux 21 Wildflower. I will install it shortly after I used the KDE version for about a year to explore the look and feel of the XFCE version, which is presented as the flagship of MX-Linux and to further expand my Linux knowledge and more using the mighty terminal. Really great tipps and hints!👌Someone in the MX-Linux-Forum told me about it, after he has read that I'm about to install the XFCE-Version this time.
@P. Berg Yeah, Zena was wanting to go to the park asap 🤣 Thanks for checking out the video and I'm glad you've found value in it! All the best with your exploration of XFCE. It's a great DE, so stable and quick.
Glad I stuck with you until the end. The first half of the video was a recap for me since I've been using MX Linux for a couple of years now. The second half of the video I found to be very useful. Thanks so much for making it. Everything is well explained and easy to follow along. I have MX on two different computers at the moment. I have a old Panasonic Tough Book with three SSD's I can pop in without opening it up, there is a hatch on the side to swap out drives. One drive has the original Windoze 10 on it, don't use that one much anymore. One drive is my main driver with MX Linux and the third gets different Linux distros all the time for testing. For the past couple of years I haven't found another Linux distro that I like better than MX Linux. I am more knowledgeable today thanks to you.
Kudos to you for doing such a well done series of videos on MX-21 XFCE. They are wonderfully informative and make setting up and configuring the MX-21 XFCE distro so much easier. You cover an awful lot but still go at a pace where it's easy to follow along. Other Linux distro reviewers could take a lesson from you on how to do a RUclips review. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos.
this is THE best MX Linux video I have seen on YT 😀 so clear, you explain everything so well. TYsm🙇🏻♂️ may I ask, what device(s) do you use with MXLinux? also what linux hardware/software do you use to record and edit your YT videos?
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I run MX Linux XFCE on a Surface Pro 3 and an Asus K65CM laptop. The Surface has an i5 CPU with 8GB ram and the Asus has an i7 CPU with 6GB of ram so both are a little too underpowered to properly edit video on. To make the videos, I'm using an iPhone XS as the camera and SimpleScreenRecorder to record the screen. I edit in DaVinci Resolve on an iMac that has an i5 CPU with 8GB of ram so I have to edit in quarter resolution due to the iMac being underpowered for such work. It took over 12 hours just to render this 2 hour video lol. I would love to make videos faster but my hardware is limited at this stage. Hopefully the cannel takes off and I'll be able to upgrade my studio 🤞🤞
Congratulations! Excellent video! I am from Brazil. I've been using Linux Mint and Debian since 2015. After watching this video, I'm seriously thinking about migrating to MX Linux!
@sergiooseko1076 You won't regret using MX Linux. I've found it to be the most stable and fast of the OS's I've used and have MX on most of my computers. The community is really helpful too. Thanks for your positivity!
Wirklich fantastisch.. Weil sie jeden einzelnen Schritt von Anfang bis Ende genau erklären.. I really love your Videos, Sir.. Greetings from Germany.. 🙂 👍 👍
An interruption by such a cute pooch, is ok by me. I have to say, the production value and presentation polish of this video,for example, has gone way up, quickly, compared to your first videos. Well done.
I loved your video, I'm learning a lot from you. I didn't know many of the things you showed in this video and I thank you immensely. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Brazil. PS: I liked the video so much that I downloaded it. 😛
One of my biggest frustrations with my recent #MXLinux experience has been audio - sound management. Things like not being about to reliably change from one output to another. (speakers, headphones, microphones) Apps not playing sound to the correct output, etc. Any chance you can do some videos on audio configuration and troubleshooting? Thanks.
This is beautiful. Thank you for spending a lot of time to set this up. I just installed MX Linux and followed your tutorial to get y system up and running good. Could you also please do the set up for learning programming also? Thank you.
Great vid. The compositor switch and MX tools really make this the best Debian distro. Smooth. I'm moving away from LinuxMint and Arch/Manjaro. Completely happy with this daily driver. I was just so unhappy about Ubuntu installer, or messing with Manjaro. I hope MX moves forward with arm/aarch64.
I hear you! After trying many distros I've found MX to have the perfect combo of stability, speed and low resource requirements. Thanks for your feedback 🐧
Greetings from 🇩🇪. Dude honestly, your videos are very valuable for a beginner like me. I learned a lot so far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and the tips and suggestions you give us. Like+Abo😊👍🏻 i am just at the beginning on my journey into Linux, i use Ubuntu and LMDE
Good job Mate! Nice tutorial, nice music, nicely cut video and most of all interesting. Often I watch and skip parts.. this one wasn’t the case. Thank you!
I just wanna comment to give you my roses🌹. MX Linux will be my new daily driver for my laptop (also my first time daily driving any linux distros) and your tutorial is icing on the cake. I wanna thank you for this awesome tutorial and I hope we get more tutorials like this for MX Linux. I do have a question: will mounting via cifs/nfs mess up anything if I change to systemd vs the default?
@judegines Thanks for your lovely comment! It shouldn't affect your mounts changing to systemd. At worst you might have to reconfigure your mounts after the change.
Might I respectfully suggest that you update whilst running live, before installing. That way, you get the benefit of any potential improvements to the installer, which is under continuous development. A great feature of MX Linux is that any updates done live will carry over to the installation, so you don't need to update as soon as you install.
Thank you for this guide. I just got off Manjaro since it performed poorly on my laptop. Was hoping that MX Linux was lite enough for my machine, and five days later the OS has yet to disappoint.
I hear you. I was also using Manjaro for a while but experienced too many time-consuming issues. MX Linux is just so stable and fast on my not very powerful machine. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi, foremost. Love your channel. Noticed that a space between address (IPv4 and IPv6)is okay. In fact, if you recheck your settings, it would have put a gap in it already in the settings. At least on mine. And love the MX Linux tutorials.
When I first watched this video I was very impressed, a straight forward video to get the most out of MX. On my first visit to this video, one of your walk throughs was to change the App panel or menu panel to left to right or vica versa, i.e putting the apps menu to the left rather were it is now on the right. You refered to it in the fist video I watched, but I have gone back to it several times but can't find that section on the video try as I may. so can you lead me to that section or give me a link to where I should to do this operation. So just to finalise, this is not about placing the panel menu to the right of the screen, but changing right to left within the panel.
@Brian Horsley The chapter in the video which covers the panel reassignment can be found here: ruclips.net/video/EO7yd5yWN7c/видео.html I've also made a video focussing on theming MX Linux where I go into more detail about editing the panel. The video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/80YHVuv-eVs/видео.html and the chapter in the theming video about editing the panel can be found here: ruclips.net/video/80YHVuv-eVs/видео.html Hope this helps.
Hi, I have just watched that clip, and it just refers to moving the task bar around from left to right, I was refering to the menu or apps panel. that pops up when you click the mx button on the far left. You made a short clip about the apps/menu panel, either it was a mistake, as it was so brief and you only refered to it very briefly. But in it you moved the the apps column from the right to the left so the apps content was on the right.
@@StaempunkTV All done. Thank you very much. One last thing, how can I drop an Icon like Thunderbird into the panel where I want it, and not where MX wants to place it on the far right, once it is in the wrong place, then you can't move or delete it, without stressing your self out.
Excellent MX-Linux walk thought, I just switched to MX a month ago, have a lot of things don't know how to use, one is the systemd, when I install the Nordvpn I got the error message telling me I don't have systemd enable and couldn't go on bra...bra....., I've trying to look all over the web how to boot into systemd all this time, thanks for your video have help me out, but just one thing, do I have to boot into systemd every time once I have the program installed? or just have to boot into systemd when I install the program, then I can boot normally without systemd? So far MX-Linux is the most stable Linux distro I've ever use and I would love to stay with it, but I don't find much video tutorials about it, happy to find your channel, hope to see more great tutorials from you, thanks for the effort you've put into this, I've watch the whole video without a blink. and one more, I think when you try to Auto mount the hard drive, you forgot to tick the Auto mount drive on system start up box, just an overlook for so many things you're trying to explain.
Great video with a lot of details, actually I don't need all of them yet but it is good that now I know them! Can you please make a video similar with LXLE? Would be great for the community of people who have not the last 5 years PC. Actually it was more than 1AM and I was watching your video and configured my MX with your guide... If I had this video 5 years ago transition to Linux would be smoother and straight forward!
Thanks, I'm happy it helped. LXLE looks like a great distro too! I'm running Lubuntu on my old 2009 MacBook to record the audio for my videos which uses the amazingly lite LXQt desktop environment and I loved it so much I made a series of videos about Lubuntu.

I thank you, sir, from the bottom of my heart, for your distinguished, precise and simple way of dealing with beginners. I've learned a lot from you in these great and helpful tutorials, but I've come across a note that the Flat Pack section is not enabled as if it's closed. Can you help me with this? Thank you very much in advance sir.
One reason you might not want to use Firejail every time you start Firefox is that the Firejailed app can only access the downloads folder. This could be inconvenient if your operating your email or doing other file activities through your browser. One approach to overcome this would be to create a separate launcher using Firejail (saved in an appropriate file), start it and pin it to the dock. This allows you to have a Firejail version of the app on your desktop but if you want to run the app without Firejail, you can run it from the menu.
@Kevin Quinn Brilliant method and very helpful. I run a few different browsers with their own specific levels of security and use launchers in the dock for some and keyboard shortcuts for others. I like the way you think. Thanks for the tip!
Nice video for the hands on tutorial. Running one of desktops using Threadripper since 2018 installed with MX Linux-19. I just made an update and upgrade to version 21 without a clean install. My issue is the graphic driver however. I have both AMD and Nvidia GPUs just in case one of the driver is not working well.
Thank you for you work. You're very detailed and easy to follow. I am a new Linux user and your vidreos have made very comfortable with MX. However, I need some help installing pgadmin4 on MX. I've tried several times without success. Now I have a headache. I would like you to do a video on that some time, please?
That was fantastic mate, loved every minute of it! ; ) GOODBYE WINDOWS! While I'm here .................. one thing I haven't found as yet is, how do you disable the workspaces? I see no point in having 2 or more workspaces, just 1 will suffice. TURK
@t4concepts Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video! To edit the workspaces, right-click the workspaces on the panel and select Workspace Settings. Then reduce Number of workspaces to 1 and close. Next, right-click the workspace again in the panel and select Remove and you're done. Cheers!
Thank you very much for these hints and tricks in MX Linux. I had so many problems with Ubuntu an Ubuntu Budgie(could not run my scanner and printer). Now with Your how to*s I finally been rescued from MacOS (too expensive) and Windows(hate it). The only suggestion I like to make is the confusing tools between "tools" and "tweaks". I always have sort out witch one is the setting up the computer and witch one is responsible for just the outfit. By the way I could not spot Your accent. guess you are from "Downunder" or this direction somewhere. TX again.
THANKS-- this will come in really handy.. I LOVE Mx-- but there is still a lot I have to learn.. it's so good evven an OLD (66) fat one eyed hillbilly can do it- without making it crash in 2 years!!!!! THAT says a lot for the program!!!! BUT this will make it nice-- thank you again..
Really great comprehensive video.....so much more detail and thought put into the content... more please.....I know its not a help desk / forum but Just one question, i have issues with sound quality, mostly when on video calls, I've tried one or two things and looked up on the web, but still quite poor - any ideas
Thanks for your comment and question. When you say your sound quality, are you referring to the audio from who you're speaking to or what your voice sounds like to them? Does it usually sound better when you're using other OS/distros?
@@StaempunkTV Thanks for your comment... Video calls tend to be full of echo they can hear me, hard to hear them. Sound is great both ways on Mint / ubuntu
Good on you! I've tried many distros now and have found a few that I really like. I've tried Mint a few times but never stuck with it. Among my faves: MX Linux, Peppermint 10, Pop_OS!, EndeavourOS and Manjaro. All the best distro hopping!
I have a problem with my MXLinux with xfce, the mouse left click often times suddenly not working, I have to use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to another tty, then Ctrl+Alt+F7 back, and then mouse left click is working again. Do you have any clue about it? Thanks!
@Mike J Page I've been using Ubuntu Studio 22.04 on my Surface Pro 3 which comes in KDE and love it! I have a MX Linux KDE video in the pipeline so I'll get that uploaded as soon as I can. Thanks for the sub!
Hi there! Very informative video overall. I am still distro hoping and I want to know if you have tried Linux mint xfce, I guess your and my laptop both are mid range laptops, so wanted to know how was your experience with mint?
I have tried Mint a few times. I've found that MX runs slightly faster on my laptop and has a smaller background resource use. Also, MX has awesome tools like MX Snapshot and Boot repair.
Wow. You have covered almost everything that is needed for us. I have a question. Is there any way i can make the audio sound as good as the windows? The speakers produce not as great sound as in the windows. Even in the headphones.
@The Hamza 2 To boost your volume, you can use the Pulse Audio Volume Control (pavucontrol). To tweak the sound, PulseEffects is great for equalization etc. Cheers!
I use pop os now but pop has too many and heavy updates every week. I really don't like the idea too distrohop and leave pop, but that's what I will do. And I will stay with mx for a bunch of years
@bengtl.5017 I hear you! After lots of distro hopping myself I've settled on MX as one of my daily drivers. It is just so stable and quick. Thanks for your comment!
Hi, and THANKS for the excellent and complete video. I wonder if you have shown in one of your videos how to configure two monitors in MX-Linux. I have a laptop and a Dell monitor, and I am using Nvidia card. I have googled about this problem, but the only thing I found was that I have to deactivate the Intel driver, so the Nvidia driver is the only active. The problem is that I do not know how to do it. Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for the comment. To configure multiple monitors, open up MX Tweak and click on the Display tab, you'll be able to select options for your monitors from the drop-down menu titled 'Choose Display for xrandr tweaks'. Hope this helps.
50:31 - If I am only on Wifi i do not get an new drop down choice when i would create new connection. Any tip ? Also I am not sure i understood what the advance would be to have 3 DNSs... will my computer switch between them or .... ? Any plans for new videos ? Really enjoy the awesome walkthroughs.
@kdegn Thanks for your comment. You will only get the ethernet option if you are connected to ethernet. The benefit is negligible. I was doing it more to show how to add different DNS connections and you would have to manually switch to change. My most recent video on antiX may interest you if you like MX Linux: ruclips.net/video/6gW_MVl9A_8/видео.html
Hi my friend STÆMPUNK TV hope all is well with you, I was just wonder if you have planned to do the new MX23 tutorial at some stage? For myself, I only watch your tutorials. Regards Pete
I wanted to ask for your assessment of Xubuntu, is it more suitable for older machines or is MX-21 better? Is MX-21 lighter? I have followed this video on MX-21 and it seems more complete than Xubuntu 22.04. Maybe you could make a video about Xubuntu? Thank you very much for your videos, always very didactic and enjoyable. Greetings and merry christmas!.
@JUANCLARIPERALES Thanks for the request. I've been considering making a series on the official Ubuntu flavours. I've tried Xubuntu 22.04 on one of my older laptops and it is fairly light and pretty stable when I used it. I do prefer MX21 though. Seasons greetings to you!
@@StaempunkTV Thank you for your response, the same thing happened to me. I tried Xubuntu first, and then I installed MX21and configured watching your videos and I also see it more complete and it's light on my thinkpad x220. Thanks again for your videos.

I edit in DaVinci Resolve on an iMac that has an i5 CPU with 8GB of ram so I have to edit in quarter resolution due to the iMac being underpowered for such work. It took over 12 hours just to render this 2 hour video lol. I would love to make videos faster but my hardware is limited at this stage. Hopefully the cannel takes off and I'll be able to upgrade my studio 🤞🤞
What a fantastic tutorial video, this is simply an extraordinary work of art. detailed and professional. Thank you mate!
@Reflex Samurai Yep a lot of research and work went into it so I really appreciate your comment. Thanks!
Congratulations! Excellent video!
I am from Brazil. I've been using Linux Mint and Debian since 2015.
After watching this video, I'm seriously thinking about migrating to MX Linux!
@sergiooseko1076 You won't regret using MX Linux. I've found it to be the most stable and fast of the OS's I've used and have MX on most of my computers. The community is really helpful too. Thanks for your positivity!
Wirklich fantastisch.. Weil sie jeden einzelnen Schritt von Anfang bis Ende genau erklären.. I really love your Videos, Sir.. Greetings from Germany.. 🙂 👍 👍
Danke, ich freue mich über deinen Kommentar 🙂
Thanks to you setting up MX linux on my desktop was a piece of cake, and I watched the second video about configuration. It was awesome!
I appreciate your comment and am glad I helped. Cheers!
Your video is so informative, I learned about MX linux but also plenty of other info I can apply to other distros.
Thank you!
@espertempo You're most welcome!
An interruption by such a cute pooch, is ok by me. I have to say, the production value and presentation polish of this video,for example, has gone way up, quickly, compared to your first videos. Well done.
Thank you Robert. Yes Zena is cute!
Thank you for your time for putting all this together. MX Live is one of my favorite distros.
@jerrelajoeb6531 Mine too. Thanks for the comment.
I loved your video, I'm learning a lot from you. I didn't know many of the things you showed in this video and I thank you immensely. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Brazil.
PS: I liked the video so much that I downloaded it. 😛
@EdineyAVargas You are so welcome! I'm glad the video helped.
hello sir, awesome as always. really love this details tutorial. please do keep it coming and have a great day sir.
Thanks, will do!
Amazing video, I have now used this on 2 computers and it works like a charm. And i learned a lot from the process.
One of my biggest frustrations with my recent #MXLinux experience has been audio - sound management. Things like not being about to reliably change from one output to another. (speakers, headphones, microphones) Apps not playing sound to the correct output, etc. Any chance you can do some videos on audio configuration and troubleshooting? Thanks.
Thanks for the request! I'll hopefully do a video on audio config in the nearish future. Cheers!
This is beautiful. Thank you for spending a lot of time to set this up. I just installed MX Linux and followed your tutorial to get y system up and running good. Could you also please do the set up for learning programming also? Thank you.
Awesome video! Changing the theme was really slick 😎 Keep up the good work! ✌️
Thanks a ton!
Great vid. The compositor switch and MX tools really make this the best Debian distro. Smooth. I'm moving away from LinuxMint and Arch/Manjaro. Completely happy with this daily driver. I was just so unhappy about Ubuntu installer, or messing with Manjaro. I hope MX moves forward with arm/aarch64.
Good upload 👍 I've spent years distro hopping and I always end up back on Mx😃
I hear you! After trying many distros I've found MX to have the perfect combo of stability, speed and low resource requirements. Thanks for your feedback 🐧
good video brother.. I am moving to Linux first time. very help full .. you made it super easy for me.. no gibberish like other people.
@catchmewhy Glad it helped. Cheers!
Greetings from 🇩🇪. Dude honestly, your videos are very valuable for a beginner like me. I learned a lot so far. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and the tips and suggestions you give us. Like+Abo😊👍🏻 i am just at the beginning on my journey into Linux, i use Ubuntu and LMDE
Awesome work enjoy your help thanks for your free time this is my first time using MX KDE Plasma
@Mik lalo My pleasure. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Good job Mate! Nice tutorial, nice music, nicely cut video and most of all interesting.
Often I watch and skip parts.. this one wasn’t the case.
Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the feedback. More videos coming soon. Cheers!
Nice! I have downloaded the video and find it more helpful than the MX guide.
Thanks, really.
Thanks! I'm so glad it helped. Cheers!
I just wanna comment to give you my roses🌹. MX Linux will be my new daily driver for my laptop (also my first time daily driving any linux distros) and your tutorial is icing on the cake. I wanna thank you for this awesome tutorial and I hope we get more tutorials like this for MX Linux.
I do have a question: will mounting via cifs/nfs mess up anything if I change to systemd vs the default?
@judegines Thanks for your lovely comment! It shouldn't affect your mounts changing to systemd. At worst you might have to reconfigure your mounts after the change.
Might I respectfully suggest that you update whilst running live, before installing. That way, you get the benefit of any potential improvements to the installer, which is under continuous development.
A great feature of MX Linux is that any updates done live will carry over to the installation, so you don't need to update as soon as you install.
That's good to know. Thanks.
I am running mx-21 and use tilda as the terminal.. it sooo configurable!!
Thank you very much :) Your invaluable tutorial is a huge help in configuring MX Linux 21!!! And the system is really great !
You're welcome!
Thank you for this guide. I just got off Manjaro since it performed poorly on my laptop. Was hoping that MX Linux was lite enough for my machine, and five days later the OS has yet to disappoint.
I hear you. I was also using Manjaro for a while but experienced too many time-consuming issues. MX Linux is just so stable and fast on my not very powerful machine. Thanks for the feedback!
You are great
Also this greatest system I ever used for last ten years
@MGX-lb7ev You are great for saying so.
VERY cool , thanks for taking time to do this, I myself always add putty and brutalchess
as well as the extra MX wallpapers 8)
Thanks for the comment. Nice to hear how others set up their systems. Cheers!
Great video!!! I am new to MX and I learnt a lot from your video. Thanks
@FlorencioHugando Thanks for watching and commenting!
Absolutely amazing tutorial.
Thanks, I wish you could do a video on how to speedup the boot process and how to customize your desktop icons by adding a picture of your choice.
Hi, foremost. Love your channel. Noticed that a space between address (IPv4 and IPv6)is okay. In fact, if you recheck your settings, it would have put a gap in it already in the settings. At least on mine. And love the MX Linux tutorials.
Thanks! And indeed you're right, the gap is there now. I was going by what I had to do in Peppermint 10 where the gap wasn't there. Cheers!
It is the thing i needed thank you so much
You are really gooooood. I love your videos. They are really cool.
love mx linux thanks to u i started using it
@alking7644 It's a goodie for sure. Thanks for commenting!
Your content is top notch.
Ive heard about system D , but this was the first time ive ever heard some one explain it
When I first watched this video I was very impressed, a straight forward video to get the most out of MX.
On my first visit to this video, one of your walk throughs was to change the App panel or menu panel to left to right or vica versa, i.e putting the apps menu to the left rather were it is now on the right. You refered to it in the fist video I watched, but I have gone back to it several times but can't find that section on the video try as I may. so can you lead me to that section or give me a link to where I should to do this operation.
So just to finalise, this is not about placing the panel menu to the right of the screen, but changing right to left within the panel.
@Brian Horsley The chapter in the video which covers the panel reassignment can be found here: ruclips.net/video/EO7yd5yWN7c/видео.html
I've also made a video focussing on theming MX Linux where I go into more detail about editing the panel. The video can be found here: ruclips.net/video/80YHVuv-eVs/видео.html
and the chapter in the theming video about editing the panel can be found here: ruclips.net/video/80YHVuv-eVs/видео.html
Hope this helps.
@@StaempunkTV Thank you.
Hi, I have just watched that clip, and it just refers to moving the task bar around from left to right, I was refering to the menu or apps panel. that pops up when you click the mx button on the far left. You made a short clip about the apps/menu panel, either it was a mistake, as it was so brief and you only refered to it very briefly. But in it you moved the the apps column from the right to the left so the apps content was on the right.
Gotcha! I talk about it in the theming video: ruclips.net/video/80YHVuv-eVs/видео.html
@@StaempunkTV All done. Thank you very much. One last thing, how can I drop an Icon like Thunderbird into the panel where I want it, and not where MX wants to place it on the far right, once it is in the wrong place, then you can't move or delete it, without stressing your self out.
Love all your help, Thanks so much.
You are so welcome!
Very helpful video, thanks!
Thank you very much sir, Very informative and helpful tutorial.
You are most welcome.
Very very helpfull! Thank you for this brilliant job!
You're very welcome!
Excellent MX-Linux walk thought, I just switched to MX a month ago, have a lot of things don't know how to use, one is the systemd, when I install the Nordvpn I got the error message telling me I don't have systemd enable and couldn't go on bra...bra....., I've trying to look all over the web how to boot into systemd all this time, thanks for your video have help me out, but just one thing, do I have to boot into systemd every time once I have the program installed? or just have to boot into systemd when I install the program, then I can boot normally without systemd? So far MX-Linux is the most stable Linux distro I've ever use and I would love to stay with it, but I don't find much video tutorials about it, happy to find your channel, hope to see more great tutorials from you, thanks for the effort you've put into this, I've watch the whole video without a blink. and one more, I think when you try to Auto mount the hard drive, you forgot to tick the Auto mount drive on system start up box, just an overlook for so many things you're trying to explain.
Great video with a lot of details, actually I don't need all of them yet but it is good that now I know them!
Can you please make a video similar with LXLE? Would be great for the community of people who have not the last 5 years PC.
Actually it was more than 1AM and I was watching your video and configured my MX with your guide...
If I had this video 5 years ago transition to Linux would be smoother and straight forward!
Thanks, I'm happy it helped. LXLE looks like a great distro too! I'm running Lubuntu on my old 2009 MacBook to record the audio for my videos which uses the amazingly lite LXQt desktop environment and I loved it so much I made a series of videos about Lubuntu.

Thank you for your video and your hard work. 👍 You've just got a new sub 👍
Thanks and welcome aboard!
brilliant. thank you for sharing
I thank you, sir, from the bottom of my heart, for your distinguished, precise and simple way of dealing with beginners. I've learned a lot from you in these great and helpful tutorials, but I've come across a note that the Flat Pack section is not enabled as if it's closed. Can you help me with this? Thank you very much in advance sir.
One reason you might not want to use Firejail every time you start Firefox is that the Firejailed app can only access the downloads folder. This could be inconvenient if your operating your email or doing other file activities through your browser. One approach to overcome this would be to create a separate launcher using Firejail (saved in an appropriate file), start it and pin it to the dock. This allows you to have a Firejail version of the app on your desktop but if you want to run the app without Firejail, you can run it from the menu.
@Kevin Quinn Brilliant method and very helpful. I run a few different browsers with their own specific levels of security and use launchers in the dock for some and keyboard shortcuts for others. I like the way you think. Thanks for the tip!
Nice video for the hands on tutorial. Running one of desktops using Threadripper since 2018 installed with MX Linux-19. I just made an update and upgrade to version 21 without a clean install. My issue is the graphic driver however. I have both AMD and Nvidia GPUs just in case one of the driver is not working well.
@pythonprofreak7522 Thanks for commenting! Probably the best bet is to jump onto the MX forum and ask for help there. They are a helpful community.
Thank you for you work. You're very detailed and easy to follow. I am a new Linux user and your vidreos have made very comfortable with MX. However, I need some help installing pgadmin4 on MX. I've tried several times without success. Now I have a headache. I would like you to do a video on that some time, please?
That was fantastic mate, loved every minute of it! ; ) GOODBYE WINDOWS!
While I'm here .................. one thing I haven't found as yet is, how do you disable the workspaces?
I see no point in having 2 or more workspaces, just 1 will suffice.
TURK
@t4concepts Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video! To edit the workspaces, right-click the workspaces on the panel and select Workspace Settings. Then reduce Number of workspaces to 1 and close. Next, right-click the workspace again in the panel and select Remove and you're done. Cheers!
how to use job scheduler on mx Linux 23.2. Great presentation.love it
@JuniorBeepath Thanks for your suggestion. I will add it to the list of potential videos to make. Cheers!
Thank you very much for these hints and tricks in MX Linux. I had so many problems with Ubuntu an Ubuntu Budgie(could not run my scanner and printer). Now with Your how to*s I finally been rescued from MacOS (too expensive) and Windows(hate it). The only suggestion I like to make is the confusing tools between "tools" and "tweaks". I always have sort out witch one is the setting up the computer and witch one is responsible for just the outfit. By the way I could not spot Your accent. guess you are from "Downunder" or this direction somewhere. TX again.
@fabriciusallard8029 Glad to help on your Linux journey. I'm originally from New Zealand but presently living in Australia. Cheers!
Brilliant video. Thank you
@MintHawk You're welcome
THANKS-- this will come in really handy.. I LOVE Mx-- but there is still a lot I have to learn.. it's so good evven an OLD (66) fat one eyed hillbilly can do it- without making it crash in 2 years!!!!! THAT says a lot for the program!!!! BUT this will make it nice-- thank you again..
@davidwayne9982 Yes it is an awesome distro! Thanks for your comment. It made me chuckle 🤣
Really great comprehensive video.....so much more detail and thought put into the content... more please.....I know its not a help desk / forum but Just one question, i have issues with sound quality, mostly when on video calls, I've tried one or two things and looked up on the web, but still quite poor - any ideas
Thanks for your comment and question. When you say your sound quality, are you referring to the audio from who you're speaking to or what your voice sounds like to them? Does it usually sound better when you're using other OS/distros?
@@StaempunkTV Thanks for your comment... Video calls tend to be full of echo they can hear me, hard to hear them. Sound is great both ways on Mint / ubuntu
This guy must be so famous
@r.razamohamed Only among a niche crowd lol
Fantástico, muchas gracias 😍🦝🍻❤
@Yemuyin_Mapachipanyol ¡De nada!

I'm thinking about giving MX-Linux a try. Right now i'm using Linux Mint, but I would like to try different distros.
Good on you! I've tried many distros now and have found a few that I really like. I've tried Mint a few times but never stuck with it. Among my faves: MX Linux, Peppermint 10, Pop_OS!, EndeavourOS and Manjaro. All the best distro hopping!
4:21 The kernel update is actually 5.10.0-9 to 5.10.0-10. Also, the Dec snapshots are for only XFCE and KDE, no Fluxbox, otherwise great video.
Cool, thanks.
I have a problem with my MXLinux with xfce, the mouse left click often times suddenly not working, I have to use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to another tty, then Ctrl+Alt+F7 back, and then mouse left click is working again. Do you have any clue about it? Thanks!
Thanks!
@whothellami Amazing thank you!!
Excellent tutorial ,, I have kde installed as well ,Would be interesting to get some tips on that ,, "Subbed" 🙂
@Mike J Page I've been using Ubuntu Studio 22.04 on my Surface Pro 3 which comes in KDE and love it! I have a MX Linux KDE video in the pipeline so I'll get that uploaded as soon as I can. Thanks for the sub!
Hi there! Very informative video overall.
I am still distro hoping and I want to know if you have tried Linux mint xfce, I guess your and my laptop both are mid range laptops, so wanted to know how was your experience with mint?
I have tried Mint a few times. I've found that MX runs slightly faster on my laptop and has a smaller background resource use. Also, MX has awesome tools like MX Snapshot and Boot repair.
Wow. You have covered almost everything that is needed for us.
I have a question. Is there any way i can make the audio sound as good as the windows?
The speakers produce not as great sound as in the windows. Even in the headphones.
@The Hamza 2 To boost your volume, you can use the Pulse Audio Volume Control (pavucontrol). To tweak the sound, PulseEffects is great for equalization etc. Cheers!
Nice video thank you
You're welcome 😊
thank you soo much
thanmks for teh info mamnnnnn!
No worries!
I use pop os now but pop has too many and heavy updates every week. I really don't like the idea too distrohop and leave pop, but that's what I will do. And I will stay with mx for a bunch of years
@bengtl.5017 I hear you! After lots of distro hopping myself I've settled on MX as one of my daily drivers. It is just so stable and quick. Thanks for your comment!
Nice content, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Muito top seu tutorial vlw
Hi, and THANKS for the excellent and complete video. I wonder if you have shown in one of your videos how to configure two monitors in MX-Linux. I have a laptop and a Dell monitor, and I am using Nvidia card. I have googled about this problem, but the only thing I found was that I have to deactivate the Intel driver, so the Nvidia driver is the only active. The problem is that I do not know how to do it. Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for the comment. To configure multiple monitors, open up MX Tweak and click on the Display tab, you'll be able to select options for your monitors from the drop-down menu titled 'Choose Display for xrandr tweaks'. Hope this helps.
Legend! Subbed....cheers
Thanks for the sub!
nice video 👍
42:32 The Settings page in MX Linux 23 no longer respects the Super key Tile commands... Why they changed it to be worse, I don't know.
@tylerdurden783 ikr
50:31 - If I am only on Wifi i do not get an new drop down choice when i would create new connection. Any tip ? Also I am not sure i understood what the advance would be to have 3 DNSs... will my computer switch between them or .... ?
Any plans for new videos ? Really enjoy the awesome walkthroughs.
@kdegn Thanks for your comment. You will only get the ethernet option if you are connected to ethernet. The benefit is negligible. I was doing it more to show how to add different DNS connections and you would have to manually switch to change. My most recent video on antiX may interest you if you like MX Linux: ruclips.net/video/6gW_MVl9A_8/видео.html
Hi my friend STÆMPUNK TV hope all is well with you, I was just wonder if you have planned to do the new MX23 tutorial at some stage? For myself, I only watch your tutorials. Regards Pete
@reflexsamurai958 Hi Pete, MX23 is definitely on my list of videos to do. MX is just so stable & fast. I appreciate you!
Thank you. @@StaempunkTV
I wanted to ask for your assessment of Xubuntu, is it more suitable for older machines or is MX-21 better? Is MX-21 lighter?
I have followed this video on MX-21 and it seems more complete than Xubuntu 22.04. Maybe you could make a video about Xubuntu? Thank you very much for your videos, always very didactic and enjoyable. Greetings and merry christmas!.
@JUANCLARIPERALES Thanks for the request. I've been considering making a series on the official Ubuntu flavours. I've tried Xubuntu 22.04 on one of my older laptops and it is fairly light and pretty stable when I used it. I do prefer MX21 though. Seasons greetings to you!
@@StaempunkTV Thank you for your response, the same thing happened to me. I tried Xubuntu first, and then I installed MX21and configured watching your videos and I also see it more complete and it's light on my thinkpad x220. Thanks again for your videos.
Thank you
@ahmadsame7454 You are most welcome.
Has anyone had success with MX Linux and brother scanners? I have not been able to make it work using Debian Xfce.
