It's nice to see the MX Linux team, and in particular Dolphin_Oracle, are still based like that.
I started out on MX Linux as my intro to linux back in early 2024 and it was partly because of their SystemD stand, and partly because the distro shipped with a lot of nice custom GUI tools for noobs like myself.
It's also a quite lightweight distro if you choose SysVinit + Fluxbox. I'm just a bit sad they no longer offer a 32-bit version.
The only reason I switched away was because the Debian base felt quite stale, that is, for what I wanted to play around with. Still kept it around for a year.
“So my suggestion for those in the US, and other countries, is to lobby your government representatives, federal, state, or whatever your country has, and not your linux distro.”
Good idea! And here I was just about to send death threats to Dylan Taylor.
Anyone use this distro? Just wondering what level of hassle on the Mint to Arch scale is it?
It's about a simple as it can get. Never had any troubles with MX. Very good support on the forum. Supports very modern Hardware (AHS Kernel). Very interesting GUI Apps for settings, which otherwise were terminal-dependent. With xfce it will run even on old hardware.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
I settled on it, KDE version. It's basically Debian + tools to make life easy. Haven't had an issue I didn't clumsily cause myself.
