MX-23 “Libretto” | First Impressions & Installation

MX-23 is now available for download. MX-23 is built from debian 12 “bookworm” and MX repositories. As in past releases, the MX will default to sysVinit but systemd remains an option for installed systems. Updates from RC and beta to final are fully supported.

The live boot menus now have a more obvious “check media” function in the top level menu. The media will be checked and boot will continue if things look good.

Major Desktop versions
Xfce 4.18
Fluxbox 1.3.7
KDE/plasma 5.27

Accessibility: All release now include orca screen reader and a screen magnifier tool. Fluxbox and Xfce have magnus screen magnifier, and KDE/plasma uses kmag. At this time due to debian’s orca packaging, orca does not appear in the menus but can be launched manually. In particular orca is configurable in KDE’s integrated accessibility settings.

MX Tools: Many mx apps have been updated with bug fixes and enhancements. All tools now launch with individual policy kit configurations rather than using the blanket mx-pkexec from past releases. mx-pkexec is not preinstalled.

A new application, “User Installed Packages” is available on both MX-21 and MX-23. The app will make a file containing a list of packages installed by the user on one system, and allow that file to be opened on another system for installation of those packages. This should help users with migration from one major version to another.

The very popular MX Snapshot has received a lot of attention to help users customize their snapshot boot options while automatically filtering out option that might prevent the created live system from starting up on different machines.

Many MX-Tweak options updated to deal with polkit changes, expanded theming options on Xfce and Fluxbox, and a few new configuration items added.

MX-Updater can be configured to use nala as a backend rather than standard apt.

All releases use pipewire & wireplumber instead of pulseaudio.

All releases use “chrony” for time daemon chores.

UFW firewall is enabled by default. This may affect printer setup for some users.

There are many new configuration options for the fluxbox release, as well as special “appfinder” configurations for rofi (replacing xfce4-appfinder). The fluxbox release relies much less on Xfce applications, but retains thunar for the file manager. mx-tweak’s theme module now has support for theming on fluxbox.

The KDE/Plasma received several tweaks to the settings to deal with new configuration options available in plasma 5.27. Root actions remain in dolphin, including root dolphin instances via the root service menu actions.
