Sehr netter Begrüßungstext bei der MX Tour:
"Die erstmalige Nutzung eines neuen Betriebssystems kann eine Herausforderung sein und einem Angst machen."

Verschlüsselter Linux-Stick
Falls der Arbeitsrechner unter Windows läuft, kann vom Linux-Stick auf die dortigen Dokumente zugegriffen werden. Es können auch Linux-Dokumente direkt dort gespeichert werden.
(Voraussetzung ist halt, dass das Windows-Speichermedium nicht verschlüsselt ist.)
Neuer Blog Artikel:
"Ein verschlüsselter Linux-Stick für die Arbeit unterwegs - Teil 1"

Okay, dann starten wir mal mit Teil 1 - sollte heute noch fertig werden.
This is just something I worked on while quick reading the systemd arch wiki page, documentation from freedesktop and some stackoverflow posts explaining the basics.
I didn't use ai nor browse around the internet much and I'm no programmer but idk. It's cool to know I can still fix things up on my own. It's been a long while anyway.
I've been babied by Arch Linux so much there hasn't been anything to fix, which is good, but it does make me rusty haha.
*sigh* As expected, spice-vdagentd.service will not start even when enabled with the default unit file
Even with -x arg added on the ExecStart file (removed $SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS), it doesn't start. Hell, the service didn't even start in the first place for both cases lol so yeah. I'll stick with the solution that worked for me
I enabled & started spice-vdagentd.service with the new replacement unit file written, disabled spice-vdagentd.socket, ran spice-vdagent on the terminal once, and then rebooted to verify and then now it works lol.
I think I spent about an hour just troubleshootin and idk. It's prolly a shitty fix but it works for me and it's all that matters haha
So spice-vdagent for sum reason doesn't start on MX Linux even if it is enabled. I use systemd so I made a replacement unit file, commented out Requires= under [Unit], Type=forking under [Service], ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd $SPICE_VDAGENTD_EXTRA_ARGS, replaced that with just ExecStart=/usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd, and then commented Also= under [Install] and added WantedBy=multi-user.target

Seems like there's cursor rendering lag with spice-vdagent on Pop os. I tried installing regular Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on a vm, which I read pop os is based on and spice-vdagent was preinstalled, pre-enabled and worked just alright. Moving the cursor looked as smooth as the host
It's alright though. I'll try MX Linux to replace the ubuntu 25.10 vm im using.
How many times must I tell #microsoft no? I have said NO several times before and it is still NO!
After taxes are done I will upgrade this machine to #mxlinux
Non lo credevo possibile, ma un #raspberrypi5 con #mxlinux potrebbe tranquillamente sostituire un pc desktop soddisfando le esigenze del 90% dell'utenza comune!
Super felice dell'acquisto!
