MX Linux 21 KDE Install

MX Linux 21 KDE Edition is an Advanced Hardware Support (AHS) enabled 64-bit only version of MX featuring the KDE/plasma desktop.

 

Three Desktop options: Xfce, Plasma, Fluxbox

 

System requirements:

• 1GB RAM (2GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
• 15GB of disk space (20GB recommended).
• The 64-bit ISO can boot with BIOS or UEFI.

 

 

MX-21 KDE includes the usual MX tools, antiX-live-usb-system, and snapshot technology that our users have come to expect from our standard flagship Xfce releases. Adding KDE/plasma to the existing Xfce/MX-fluxbox desktops will provide for a wider range user needs and wants.

and more in the MX repositories.

Some users with intel video chipsets may need to use “i915.invert_brightness=1” boot code as some machines apparently have brightness values backwards in the driver. There are live menu options for that code.

System clock settings are not adjustable via the KDE system settings unless the user is running systemd. Use the MX Date & Time application to adjust your system clock settings.
