homefs is getting smaller over time. I can't figure out why, but it seems kinda broken

here, in the remastercc, it says:
total device size: 3.6GiB (it's a very tiny space but i'm working with limits here)
free size: 575 MiB
homefs size: 538MiB
(these are ext4)

I can't make it bigger (750 MiB) even with the remaining free space. I don't know if i'm missing something here, so I need help. Thanks in advance

During live-USB of MX linux minimal  ISO, if you click time at the deskbar it throws a warning saying 'Failed to execute child process "orage" (No such file or directory.)'. 

Also there is an icon for alsamixer at the application menu but it does not works out of the box.

I know  it is a personal respin, it's not officially supported by MX Linux but I think maybe it could reach to them.

MX linux minimal respin small bug

Because I know it's the obvious first answer:   I know about the MX Snapshot tool, but the issue I have is my systems are already setup with MX and I don't want to reinstall.

The situation I have is that I have 3 computers with MX on them and I want them all to be setup the same way. Same dotfiles, packages installed etc. What would the best way to do this be outside of reinstalling with the MX Snapshot? I was thinking a combination of Chezmoi and Nix? But I'm not sure if there is an easier/better solution.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I just saw dolphin's video on exporting the list of installed packages. Is there a way to do this with packages and the dotfiles to replicate on a different system?

Hi

Title basically. So I'm planning to move to MX Linux KDE edition, because my current distro (opensuse) lacks of Nvidia driver recency (despite the fact that is rolling distro) + the jankyness for this new version of plasma.

So the key answers what I'm looking for MX KDE user experiences mostly with Nvidia cards with proprietary drivers are:

* Nvidia 535 + Plasma 5 + Wayland experience: any screen flckers/stutters [during gaming](https://youtu.be/y2OR-5YvL68)? (read vid desc)
* Any desktop environmental odd behaviours like when typing on reddit and characters [getting "deleted"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1ZyhXcdZzw)(read vid desc) for a blink moment then reappear?
* Waydroid: is it working? This is very important for me because I want to play Sims Freeplay on my PC that I used to play on windows through Bluestacks but I can't find any working android emulator that works with linux

To actual Nvidia users: Plasma + Wayland what's your experience?

I run MX Linux at work and Mint at home.  I tend to use print screen and paste a lot with my job. I much prefer the MX Linux version of this, because I can select an area to copy instead of the entire screen, if I want.  I would like to make Mint have the same program/ability to do this as MX Linux does.  Is there a name for the print screen and snipping setup with MX?

Hi.

  
I already know that .run files are a big nono if I want to preserve the integrity of my system.

Is there a way of installing Nvidia 560's drivers on MX Linux in the cleanest and most stable possible way? - without breaking my system by installing it and by later upgrades.

Most stable way of installing Nvidia 560 on MX Xfce?

Recently I've been trying to work with Pipewire Screen-sharing, specifically with OBS Plugins that simulate OBS' "Game/App" Audio Capture on Windows/Mac. On OBS in the MX Repos, it doesn't even HAVE Pipewire as an option for sources, so I use the Flatpak variant that does. Only issue is, it won't even work, usually putting this in the log:

`info: PipeWire initialized`  
`info: [pipewire] Screencast session created`  
`info: [pipewire] Asking for monitor and window`  
`warning: [pipewire] Failed to start screencast, denied or cancelled by user`

I tried to stream through Discord, it would just crash:  
`[4971:1031/003329.050185:ERROR:screencast_portal.cc(367)] Failed to start the screen cast session.`  
`[4971:1031/003329.050208:ERROR:base_capturer_pipewire.cc(81)] ScreenCastPortal failed: 2`  
`Error occurred in handler for 'DISCORD_DESKTOP_CAPTURER_GET_SOURCES': Failed to get sources.`  
`[1]    4971 segmentation fault  discord`  
I tried it under the default MX and Liquorix kernels, and different NVIDIA drivers and the result is the same. How do I fix this?

I've been scripting my installation process for MX and I'm able to backup and restores my XFCE panel/whisker menu config.

I used xfce4-panel-profiles to do it. But I needed to install this app since it's not in the base MX install.

I see in MX Tweak there are options for backing up and restoring the panel. I was able to find where the backup is stored so I can move it to another system if needed.

Is there a way to restore the panel backup that MX Tweak makes via command line without having to install xfce4-panel-profiles? Is the backup MX Tweak makes even compatible with panel-profiles?
