  • MX, ThinkPad t480, intel+Nvidia (no matter which drivers): close screen to suspend causes it, and it’s not happening in other DE’s. Can’t be bothered to try out xfce on another distro just to confirm. I made a post when I was trying to fix it for myself.

    The final straw were the Bluetooth headphones though. Most of the time I’d have to manually select them 20 times as the output device so it sticks, and then it’d switch back to the speakers as soon as the call starts. Or I’d hear the other person through the correct device, but the they couldn’t hear me on Skype, but could on Google meet.

    MX was pretty reliable otherwise.



  • I’m aware of Debian’s reputation for not having the most up-to-date software in its repository

    Yes, it’s a stable distro. Contrary to what most Linux users think, that term only means that the distro is unchanging. That means only necessary updates are released (security fixes for example).

    when it will make available the upcoming major release of GIMP to 3.0.

    Maybe in the next version, if the gimp release happens soon enough it gets tested.

    Just use an external package manager like flatpak to install fresh packages. The only reason I could run MX (Debian) for about a year was because I installed almost every user package through nix, and used Debian ones for the system packages.
