SalixOS May Inherit Lots of New Users Soon

On the MX-Linux forums there is renewed interest in the systemd problem, since Debian Buster (MX is based on Debian Stable) will make it much for difficult to use the "shim" work-around. MX "has" systemd as a dependency for some apps and tools, but doesn't use it somehow. Fine fo...

Re: Hello

That's a quick trip to Salix! Quicker than most, I think. Mine was a long, roundabout one because I'm really a simple person, and actually downright scared of technology, but unwilling to spend a lot of money to upgrade my older but perfectly good hardware. Salix fits the bill nicely because it's si...

Welcome!

Are you new to SalixOS or just new to this forum?

Artim, son of Sojef

Hello, My society was founded by a race of people who fled from technology because it almost destroyed them. So they fled from their home world in a starship, and settled on a very remote planet to start over, with as little technology as possible . We are a race of technophobes! Yet we are not unfa...

Re: Marketing and targeting to increase user base.
