Don't play with the DDM (Device Driver Manager) installing proprietary programs (as I did with Nvidia drivers), this can mess up your system completely. Thus with CRTs you can get an ugly flickering.


The installer is very straightforward and does a fast job. Installation SolydXK downloads are hybrid images, so you can easyly install via USB stick. This text hopefully helps to change that. Currently SolydXK ranges in the middle of the Distrowatch list (which is not a real use case statistics list, it rather mirrors the awareness level of Linux distributions). Actually the name SolydXK stands for two products, SolydX coming with the Xfce desktop and SolydK offering KDE. But I don't like the Ubuntu way handling Linux (though from an evolutionary point of view it is good that Ubuntu stimulates the open source awareness and discussions), so the test range was targeted to directly Debian based distributions.įinally I decided on installing SolydX which is made, as I learned later on, by the formerly LMDE team. One nights review of distributions offering Xfce out of the box resulted mostly with Ubuntu based products like XUbuntu for example. Recently the Linux Mint team dropped my favored Linux distribution named Linux Mint Debian Xfce.
