Misc.
sysVinit remains the default init system. systemd is available as a boot option on installed systems (but not on live systems). In other words, exactly the same as MX17/18.
Set your gtk scaling in Appearance, log out/log in and Qt apps should follow the scaling set.
New conky configs (conky-manager for selections)
Known issues with MX 19 final:
Some users with intel video chipsets may need to use “i915.invert_brightness=1” boot code as some machines apparently have brightness values backwards in the driver. There are also new options in the various live boot menus for this.
For RC1 users, migration notes are at https://mxlinux.org/migration Note that upgrades from 17/18 or betas are not officially supported.
