Will its really good but isn’t Linux mint de and especially MX is better than Debain for A few tools but i agree that they’re better than official Ubuntu and easier than vanilla arch
been using it since the pandemic and it is all good. i started with xubuntu but had problems with R after an LTS update (in 2020 i think). looked for an easy to install xfce alternative - tried mx linux and havent had a problem since.
If it works for you go for it. I don’t hear much about it, and haven’t encountered anyone using it. I know it is one of few Debian based distros that is based on Debian itself and not Ubuntu, that is about all I know about it.
What attracts you to it? What are its selling points and what makes it different from Debian? Do you know anything about the developers.
Yeah the fact that OP calls systemd “new” or even knows what systemd is makes me doubt the authenticity of the original post (or more likely I just misinterpreted the top post).
I read it as an excited new Linux user who “Doesn’t know how to use Debian” and is enthusiastic about MX Linux. But there is no way in hell someone who doesn’t know how to use Debian would have a preference for alternative unit systems and definitely wouldn’t be calling systemd new
Maybe they don’t know how to use debian, because it uses systemd?
(Insert SpongeBob meme here:
“I like mx Linux”
“What does that mean?”
“It means he’s afraid of systemd”
“No it doesn’t”
“systemctl restart sshdjournalctl”
“Stop it, you’re scaring him”)
I think it’s cool in concept, but it’s more of an activism tool than a convenience tool. I’m my experience at least, it didn’t block as much as I’d like.
I’m still new to this whole privacy and selfhosting stuff, but rclone is one of the cooler utilities I’ve come across so far. The sheer number of cloud services it can hook to is fantastic! I’d love to see your tutorial. I’m currently using Immich to backup from my phone to my server then a night Duplicacy job sends it to B2.
I’m not the OP, but I’ll throw in my stats for reference.
Storage used: 65 gbs
Price: 52¢ monthly
I just use it as backup storage with restic as the backup tool, so following the initial data dump it’s just making incremental changes.
They’re changing their pricing this month, storage now costs $6 per terabyte of data per month (up from $5 per terabyte.) Downloading that data is now free, up to X3 the amount of data you have stored. Anything more than that is priced at .01¢ per GB. I could download 195gb for free based on my usage.
