MX Linux

 Mx Linux Help Files

I have been using Linux as my main operating system for over 10 years now and among the many distributions (distro) of Linux that are available, I prefer MX Linux.  Certain features and commands are common to all versions of Linux but there are always somethings that are somewhat different depending of the particular distro that you are using.

I have also found that most people tend to have the same computing needs and issues.  In this blog, I have tried to take some of the common tasks and make help files for them that are specific to MX Linux.  I'm not saying that my recommendations are the only way to do things or even the best way.  With Linux, there is always another way to do things.  What I am saying is that these methods make sense and work for me so they should also work for you.
