MX Linux introduces MX-Fluxbox |
|
MX Linux has turned into a very polished distribution over the last few years, mainly due to its user-friendliness and effective integration of the desktop with its configuration tools. But it has never meant to be used as a lightweight desktop - until now. Thanks to a freshly developed and fully integrated Fluxbox overlay for MX Linux, the distribution can be installed and used even on less powerful computers: "MX Linux has made desktop environments and window managers available through the package installer since the beginning of time (well, since 2014). But those are basic vanilla install packages, essentially unaltered for MX Linux use. That pattern changed with the release on December 12, 2019 of MX-Fluxbox, a version of Fluxbox developed specifically as a fully integrated overlay for MX Linux (versions 17 and later). Installation involves two steps. The base installation is enabled through the MX Package Installer, Popular Applications tab, Window Managers entry. Once that installation finishes, the user clicks an entry in the 'MX-flux' menu to initiate the second step - moving a few small files and folders to the user's Home directory once permission has been given. The user then logs out, selects Fluxbox from the session menu in the upper right corner of the login screen, and logs back in." See this blog post for further information and a screenshot of the Fluxbox user interface. |
