No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I see. Actually I wish to learn to master MX Linux, but it doesn't seem to be well documented.
You'll be best off on the MX website forums I'd think.
I don't think i understand the concept of "mastering" a specific distribution though. They're all just (often overlapping) collections of tools, many of which can be swapped. Mastery involves knowing when to choose different tools, and adapting and developing bespoke ones when necessary - it's probably impossible in linux because there are are too many.
But more generally what's the difference between MX linux and debian? I guess it doesn't use systemd which is quite a big difference to be aware of, but apart from that 90% of stuff is going to be the same. It must still have manpages and some package manager. You could probably even install apt if you wanted to.
On here i think linuxmemes is the best place to get linux advice, just ask your question there and put "i use mx linuxBTW" at the end to make it a 'meme'. /s /not-s you'll get more engagement.
Looks like the Debian Administrator’s Handbook could give you a good start.
Thanks 😊. It's looking very complicated though.
It’s very well written, but a few versions out of date. For your purposes, I suspect it doesn’t matter. Read it slowly , a bit at a time, come back and ask for help if you need it.
