Also it would seem to be aimed at laptop users; and as I mainly work from a Frankenstein desktop, with several internal hard drives, I was unpleasantly surprised that I could not specify custom mount points for my other drives; only the main drive (for home) was recognized. It may be that I could do change this later, but their installation process as I recall depended on a slick GUI, etc., and was more automatic; whereas I have got comfortable with a Debian-style old-school installation process. It did seem to be lightweight and very fast, compared to other distros. What I couldn't quite recall is whether TDE was installed by default, but it seems to me that it was, at least on the one I tried. > meanwhile I got MX up and running and there seems to be absolutely no > problem. it has some kind of ugly but efficient xfce gui; I'm looking > into installing TDE. > > dealing with Windows 10 Home was more of an unpleasant surprise than > anticipated.

I hope never to be forced to say those words, ever again: install Windoze. I also made vows to get more exercise, and to eat less junk food.
