Unobscured Vision Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 ..... You really should just use Manjaro or Arco. Seriously, don't get out of your experience level here. If you aren't able to use Gparted you shouldn't be trying to use MX. AT ALL. Oh look, documentation. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Parted The ArchLinux Wiki is valid for ALL Arch-based distros. Read this. Understand it. Don't use MX. It's for advanced users. Not people who think they're 'leet but can't find their way around Gparted ... ... and yes, you've likely hosed your previous install already. Way to go.

It doesn’t matter if he is right or not. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. This very attitude is what scares people off from Linux, the whole “omg, rtfm noob” attitude is old hat. Also, MX is for advanced users? 🤣 Mindovermaster and +Matthew S. 1 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say that I've used MX, but from taking a look at the website it looks like any other pre-built distribution of Linux, it doesn't seem like anything particularly advanced. What makes you say that? adrynalyne 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Matthew S. Subscriber² Posted September 23, 2019 Subscriber² Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have a couple of book recommendations for the OP to look into... Fundamentals of Linux Linux All-In-One For Dummies, 6th Edition - I personally have one of these books, got quite a good use out of it as it covers a wide range of topics Mindovermaster 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the way he feels about it. There's no real truth. I think the MX site just "makes it sound" easier. You can see "for beginnners" in a lot of different distros... And thank you, Matthew...

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 23, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2019 Gentoo doesn't have support like Arch does. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, but still have a magic carpet under you, I can suggest Arcos. I had it on this computer until I went back to Mint.

I remember DSL; hadn't touched it in years and almost forget about it lol looks like it hasn't been updated since 2008 though so I'd consider it a 'use at your own risk' distro or on something that's never going online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
