  • Move the bulk of your wealth out of stock markets, IRA’s, and 401k’s and into precious metals like gold and silver. The state will always be evil, but a broke state is less evil. As entire societies move assets out of markets into physical precious metals, you contribute to the destruction of all fiat currencies globally. Think about it, if nobody accepted the USD, how long would the military industrial complex (MIC) last? Honest, gold and silver backed money provides a healthy constraint on the voracious appetite for making war by the MIC.

    Monero may thrive as a primary store of wealth one day, but while the FINCEN machine is alive and well, it will remain under threat. Gold and silver do not suffer the same level of oppression from regulatory authorities, so it is a safer way to exit the fiat system presently with the bulk of your wealth.

    Funny, flatpak works on MX, but it kills performance. I launch any flatpak program and it’s literally up to five minutes to launch. After re-imaging and using AppImages instead, it’s blazing fast. There must be something about the way MX implements flatpaks that screws the pooch.

    I’ve bounced around alot, have numerous distributions on my Proxmox Hypervisor, but my favorite daily driver, for a really old computer, is ( MX Linux ) I’ve twice tried other distros to see if I could improve upon the stability and performance, as well as the very convenient availability of a feature rich KDE Desktop environment, and I came back to MX twice now. When I get a new fast computer, I’ll switch to Qubes OS, for it’s built-in hypervisor and security/privacy and isolation features, but until then, I’ll stick with MX.

    IMHO, there are excellent reasons why MX ranks highest. I think it’s original roots in AntiX with the elimination of systemd has afforded it a substantial advantage over stock-standard Debian, my last daily driver which always had performance issues. With MX, on same hardware, system lock ups are far less frequent when the system is overtaxed.
