Yes.

Your system is working, you've got thumbnails displaying. What else do 
you want? When you mess about with stuff like that intentionally to see 
what happens or if it will break Linux will sometimes give you exactly 
what you ask for and then you'll get to keep all the pieces.

By the way I tried MX Linux out briefly in a VM and was underwhelmed, to 
put it mildly. It's a brown version of Debian with XFCE with as far as I 
could see, nothing of value added and a few dumb mistakes introduced. 
What it offers the world over actual Debian remains a mystery to me but 
hey, I'm not going to knock it if other people really like it for some 
reason.

What are the specs on your test laptop by the way? Does it have 4Gb+ of 
RAM and a SSD?

Cheers
