MX Linux Setup (example)

I remove the following standard MX components from the basic installation:
sudo apt-get purge gmtp orage featherpad nomacs nomacs-l10n pppoeconf asunder chromium-bsu chromium-bsu-data clipit gnome-ppp gnome-hearts hexchat hexchat-common lbreakout2 lbreakout2-data mc mc-data xfce4-notes-plugin xfce4-notes peg-e smtube swell-foop xfburn fbreader gscan2pdf dconf feh firefox

…and then clean up with the following:

  • sudo apt autoclean
  • sudo apt autoremove –purge

Applications I add and build into my install (due largely to personal preference):

sudo apt-get install plank synapse mousepad keepassx four-in-a-row grsync gnome-disk-utility gcolor2 agave viewnior fonts-roboto-hinted filezilla clamav clamtk clamassassin chromium gramps zim baobab ristretto thunar-dropbox-plugin fonts-roboto-hinted djview4 djvulibre-plugin Touchpad-Indicator
