You are 90% of the way there.
Just keep your system up to date (update packages weekly maybe) and you will be fine. The system mostly manages itself.
I recommend installing both the current kernel and an LTS kernel. If you ever have a problem with a driver or a filesystem or something after an update, just boot into LTS and you are back up and running.
I approve of this way raising military spending. Good to see it going to real people.
Unlike the Wine based stuff (Bottles, Winetricks), this runs actual Windows as a VM. So compatibility will be far better though performance will be worse.
You do not even have access to a wall outlet?
Most people have short enough commutes that an overnight charge on a regular 120 volt socket will get them through the day.

Packages and package managers differ between distros. If you are changing distros, you should not try to preserve your package list. You will need to reinstall them.
However, you can often preserve your configurations and customizations by migrating the dot files in your home directory (or the entire home directory).
This is why many people put /home on its own partition. They can then wipe and reinstall the root partition while preserving /home.
You will get XFCE 4.20 at least. You can run Wayland now if you use Labwc as a compositor.
Even as a Wayland fan though, I would stay on Xorg for now if you are using XFCE.
Let me publicly apologize to you for the reaction your comment got.
This guy can eat a dick and I have no idea why we are giving him so much attention.
I fail to see what is wrong with your comment though. I read it several times. Perhaps others are misunderstanding what you said. Or I am I guess.
That does not affect the Presidential election. Nice try.
The election was stolen by the Americans that could not even bother to show up and vote. People keep telling me that it is not the fault of people that did not vote for Trump.
Yes it is.
Eastlink is allowed to piggy-back on Rogers and Bell fibre too where they do not have their own. But they do not have the marketing budget to drum up much demand there and do not have the scale to support such customers. So Eastlink does not benefit from this that much.
So what Eastlink wants is to have a monopoly in the niche markets where they have more fibre than the big guys. They cannot do this if the big guys can use their infrastructure.
The big telecoms have more fibre overall so they do not like the idea that others can use it. So, the both the biggest and the smallest carriers are in agreement that piggy-backing is bad.
Telus is a regional carrier that is big in some places but less big in others. They would love to piggy-back on the big carriers to expand their reach. And in markets where Telus is strong, they have the marketing budget to go toe-to-toe which even Rogers and Bell. So, Telus is all for it.
But who cares what any of them think. More competition and more choice is a good thing for consumers.
This would also make it possible for a well funded new entrant to enter the Canadian market. Again, that can only be a good thing.
Telus is not one of the “big” telecoms which is why they were divided.
His permits were revoked citing safety concerns first of all.
And the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has no bearing at all on permitting. He held his gathering unmolested by government. Canada has freedom of speech and his was respected (despite being a foreigner). He was not silenced. He was not persecuted. He is not owed an apology.
Another completely dishonest conservative politician drumming up hate to get attention. Disgusting.
Individual business owners are free to pursue their own interests.
But so are consumers.
If a Canadian brand sells itself to the US, Canadians should abandon it. If that keeps happening, US companies will stop poaching Canadian companies.
If we had started this process sooner, HBC would still be in business.
I am just happy to learn that Bick’s is no longer Canadian.
They lost my business completely with the threat that they would buy fewer Canadian cucumbers and lids from Canada. They sell only in Canada. Canadians will eat just as many pickles, just from other companies, and those companies will buy just as many cucumbers from Canadian farmers as Bick’s did.
That a brand that sells only in Canada would talk this way is atrocious.
Screw them completely. Never buying a jar of Bick’s again.
I am not even truly Canadian first (though I always have been a little). For me, what really matters now is USA last.
Proxmox upgrade was flawless for me as well.
This is not the correct take.
For example, the suggestion to put /home on a partition to allow switching distros without data loss is an example of flexibility Windows does not have.
Most of the configuration that makes your desktop unique is held in your home directory, unlike Windows that spreads things across the system (such as the registry).
That said, if you do not know Linux, it is difficult to explain your options in a comment.
I am not sure what Windows automation you are referring to. If you mean upgrades between versions, Linux distros do that too. If you mean automatic migration from other operating systems, I am not aware of any Windows functionality for that.
MX is a nice distro. However, it is also true that it is just Debian with XFCE, KDE, or Fluxbox on top.
Your comment about not “being a fork of a fork” is ironic. MX Linux is a fork of AntiX which is a fork of Debian.
This is a not a criticism of MX. I love EndeavourOS and it is just Arch with a different installer and some sensible defaults. But I can also understand why some people look at MX and wonder why they don’t just install Debian with XFCE directly.
I find myself much angrier at the third that did not vote at all than the third that voted for Trump.
A tiny fraction of those that stayed at home could have saved the world. What else did they have on that day?
They are aiming for complete compatibility. They literally use the GNU test suite.
