Hi Gene, Okay, I have not read this whole thread, so if I've misunderstood so be it… MX Linux (Debian derivative) has options during install to ‘preserve home’ and to not have to reformat the HD. My last install took a total of about 30 minutes and I did not have to reconfigure every TDE package to get them back to how I like them. Between the two options I probably saved 100 hours of ‘work.’ HTH, if not best anyways!, Michael https://mxlinux.org/download-links/ Note: MX21 now includes systemd. ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
