MXLinux is my default desktop since a view month.

10 years ago i was happy Ubuntu came out, because switching from windows to Debian was a big step. All terminal stuff, very interesting though :) After years of using Ubuntu, Linux Mint came out and i became enthusiast about LM-Cinnamon, mainly because Ubuntu switched to Unity. With all the switches and try-outs of other Distro´s like Manjaro, CrungeBang, Puppylinux,etc I got tracked by a post about linux stuff and there i read a comment about MXLinux. Debian XFCE lets give it a try again like all the other ones i gave it a go.

To be short : I now think MXLinux has become my default Distro for as long this will be beat´N. Specially because of its remaster and snapshot tools. Beside that, the Distro is so solid. It´s the hardware or my little experience with Linux what makes the flaws in the system :|

If you don´t scramble around like me, because i am curious, than you will experience a very stable system, even for a bit older machines, on the planet.

I run it also on a dual core test machine 1.6 Ghz 2 Ram and it´s slowww, so a bit more of CPU and Ram is advised.

Just give it a Go.

Ubuntu sucks now. They use gnome, which becomes heavy and clumsy. Mx Linux uses XFCE, which is a lot lighter and customizable.

It just works, and never have any problem since january 2020. And there's a feature to help you to install graphic-driver, etc. Many repos you can use. hope this prestige prevail even until all covid19-virus destroyed

note: can't be considered lightweight OS.

Replaces my Mac OSX on my old Macbook 2006 (32-Bit EFI). Works like a charm out of the box. Great Distro!
