Every time I try another distribution, I find myself coming back to this one. Did the Ubuntu thing, came back. Did the Arch thing, and its cousins, and came back. Even used Alpine Linux and came back. Nobody could ever say I haven't tried getting out of my comfort zone with regards to Desktop Linux...

I was so sick of Windows XP problems and headaches that I needed to try another OS, so this system called Linux allowed me to have more control and the best part it was free so what I had to loose, I'm very glad I took that step! BTW... My resources were the internet and lots of trial and error and ...

MX Linux 21.3 Fluxbox x64 on HP DC5750 Small Form Factor The only linux distro that has worked so well with this PC!

Thanks Hallvor, I'll try one of those options later, thank you very much for the info!

On the other hand, someone from India gained access to my Netflix account, I don't know how they obtained my password, if anyone has an idea please tell me, I had to change my password to a stronger one! Your password was rubbish and it was bruteforced. Yeah, that could be an explanation, but I thi...
