things you must do after installing mx linux 21 so let's get started [Music] as we all know that mx linux is a cooperative venture between the ntx and mx linux community it is a family of operating systems that are designed to combine elegant and efficient desktops with high stability and solid performance mx graphical tools provide an easy way to do a variety of tasks while the live usb and snapshots tools inherited from ntx an impressive portability and tree mastering capabilities well it is a debian based desktop distribution and now available for testing version 21 is based on the soon to be stable debian 11 bulls eye and features the xfce 4.16 so the first thing that i'm gonna tell you is download and install latest updates as it will always keeps you away from unnecessary

solutions have been made available in mx tweak so go to the application manual first and from here search mx tweak and now go to the compositor now here you can see the compositor click on it and select the content option now whenever an intel graphics driver is detected a check box becomes available in mx streak in the configuration option tab that switches the system away from the default mode setting and a switch that enables the intel drivers tear free option so now close it the next thing that you can do is one of the most important thing that is install multimedia codecs as we know that a codec is a device or computer program which encodes or decodes a data stream or signals so it is too necessary to have multimedia codecs because while installing the system mx linux skipped many of the necessary multimedia codecs this is actually because of the legal concern so for that go to the application menu and from here you can choose mx tools now here you have different options you can utilize them well i'll go with the codec installer in order to install codex so simply click on it now here you can see this application allows you to install restricted codecs that permit advanced video and audio functions so click on ok button here you can see it is downloading codec files it is in running process codecs file have been downloaded and installed successfully ok and then close it now coming towards the next point that is add blocker well mx linux has an ad blocker installed by default but it is not enabled by default so it does not work out of the box so you can enable it and the result will be it stops many advertising servers and websites from sending ads to your pc so for that go to the application menu and from here you can search for ad block here it is click on it it will ask for your password and now here you can see do you want to proceed so click on ok button and check all these boxes and then click on ok here you can see loading at list from when help 2002 it will take some time the boxes that we have checked it will load them one by one and successfully your settings have been changed so now click on ok button now coming towards the evergreen thing that is enable firefall as we know that a firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network trafficking so we will see how we can enable firewall well ufw is the built-in firewall of mx linux and it is highly reliable one now for that you need to go to the application menu and search here for firewall configuration and here you can see firewall configuration it will ask for your password here you can see the status simply by clicking on it you can enable the firewall and here you have the different rules you can set the rules here basically you can add the custom rules so now close it well the next thing that you should do is install nvidia drivers by default mx linux installs driver but it has slightly installed the open source drivers now if your system uses nvidia graphics card then i would recommend you to install nvidia drivers for a more seamless desktop appearance so for that open mx tools and from here you can see the option nvidia driver installer click on it well it will ask for your password well unfortunately here i have the message no nvidia card found basically it is for those system who have nvidia graphics card now coming towards the next thing that you should do is install red shift while redshift is used in mx to adjust the color temperature according to the position of the sun mx linux does not include redshift by default but we can install it ourselves so for that go to the application menu and from here you need to go to the mx package installer it will ask for your password now here you have different option you need to go to stable report tab and here you need to search for red shift here you can see red shift and red shift half in gta k click on it and then click on install button processing finished successfully coming towards the next thing that is customize panel by default mx linux comes with an xfce desktop environment with a left side vertical taskbar so you can customize it now right click on taskbar and from here select the panel and from here select the panel preferences now from the panel preferences first uncheck the box lock panel and from the mode drop down you need to click on horizontal now you will see the panel in the horizontal orientation but at the top of the screen now to move it to the bottom here you can see the dots you need to click on it and then move it towards the bottom now after having the panel at the bottom one thing that remains problematic for some people is the position of mx linux start menu button that is here you can see well we are used to see it here at the left corner so for that you need to go to the items here you can see you can drag and drop the options simply click on whisker menu and then move it towards upward now here you can see we have the application menu or the start button here now coming towards the next thing that is uninstall unnecessary applications and packages now when we are talking about installing different useful application then there are some applications that we don't use as mx linux is a mid-way distribution which means it comes with many applications and packages pre-installed so go to the application menu and from here you can search for all recently used and all applications you can search them one by one you can go through by them and you can see which applications you are not going to use you can simply uninstall all the unnecessary applications from here well to delete pre-installed applications you can use the muan package manager you can install it from mx package installer the next thing that you should do after installing mx linux 21 is set high resolution display setting so for that right click on the desktop and from here you can see the option that is applications and from here you can see the option settings now here you can see settings manager so first go to the settings manager and here you have different options now go to the appearance and

are few applications that you need so for that go to the application menu and from here go to mx package installer it will ask for your password you can install any application from here you can also

search for con key manager and here you can see different widgets and themes so select any of them well con key is an extremely versatile system monitoring utility that can display on your desktop a wide variety of information now here you can see a wide right of information about your system now close it now coming towards the last thing that is clean up your system as you know that we have made
