This is by far the best Linux distro I have used. I hate unnecessary eye-candy; and LXDE is prefect for my taste. Mint LXDE is probably the best looking LXDE distro there is right now. I use a pretty beefy machine, but I still like a very lightweight distro like Mint LXDE. Great ...
I have used Mint since version 6 and I feel Mint is the best Linux distro around. As far as Lubuntu, everything has worked great except that Wine does not execute .exe files. Wine installs fine (both the stable and dev versions) and I am able to adjust Wine’s settings, but once ...

DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mqevk source fsl-setup-release.sh -b build-xwayland bitbake fsl-image-qt5-validation-imx The question is can X client, or for example LXDE or XFCE, runs on this image? Labels: i.MX 8M | i.MX 8M Mini | i.MX 8M Nano Linux Yocto Project...
Once this is done, Sparky could become a true kickass distro. It already has speed and stability, which are quite important. Now, the fun parts need some effort. Sparky needs to be more beautiful by default, more accessible, tone down some of its rough edges, throw away the less needed...
Let’s do one more RK3399 Linux review using Pine64 RockPro64 development board. After shortly checking out the hardware, I’ll test Ubuntu 18.04 “Bionic” LXDE on the board, test 3D graphics acceleration, video playback, USB storage and network performance among other things on the board....
