I have a lot of custom made shortcuts which I would like to backup how can one do this?

The keyboard shortcuts for MX-Linux xfce 21 are kept in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml and can be opened by nano ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml

If you have folders in your laptop which are routinely backed up (my documents are routinely backup using rclone), you can make sure your keyboard file is backedup everyday by syncing an identical file created by you on a folder you like with the original file by adding this command to the crontab -e service.

43 23 * * * cp ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml "/home/$USER/Documents/Linux/xfce-files backup/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml"

I have been reliably informed that I can't run Waydroid on MX Linux, which is funny because I AM RUNNING WAYDROID ON MX LINUX (evil laugh). Why? Because I had installed Gnome DE from MX package manager yesterday, so if you want to run waydroid make sure you have installed GNOME DE through MX package manager. After installing it will ask you for default DE or something like that, give Gnome related thing (it will have two options, it won't say Gnome, but choose something which looks like Gnome, {you will know it when you see it} and give ok) https://i.imgur.com/J01odCa.png

Steps:

Install package weston from Enabled Repos

sudo apt install curl ca-certificates -y

curl https://repo.waydro.id | sudo bash

sudo apt install waydroid -y sudo waydroid init

sudo systemctl enable --now waydroid-container

Launch Weston Launch Waydroid using command waydroid first-launch

If you want to kill Waydroid don't exit Waydroid or Weston or whatever the hell it is. Instead use waydroid session stop (preferably) and sudo waydroid container stop

Rocco (BigDaddyLinux) interviews the developer of MX Linux Dolphin Oracle.

Dolphin Oracle is a perfect example of a guy who started out just wanting to give back to a distro that helped him out. He started working his way through the community and development and coding to become the Lead for one of the most popular Linux distros out there.
