I don't mind MX Linux it's quite good. The main reason I'm sticking with LMDE is the easy upgrade tool Mint has when the Debian base changes. If MX had such a tool I'd consider it for some of my other machines

MX Linux is a joy to use. My 2nd favourite as well, after LMDE.

I had a MX version for RPI ran great was prior to bookworm, when BW came out RPI had lots of issues with videos and codecs, especially with Youtube vids.

Been using POP OS for Pi for a year, no issues.

Hi Tom. Thanks for the info. MX on raspi... That's great!
MX is my favorite OS and I've got it installed on all of my PC's. Even if it has sometimes some hiccups it simply just works.

I am also a Mint lover. I tried MX many times in the past but had issues with my dual gpu laptops. I recently decided to give it another try. It now works flawlessly with my AMD/NVidia dual graphics laptops. Don't know what they did but it made me happy to see that i longer have issues with NVidia drivers crashing the system.

Glad to see that you took a look at MX 23.2. I have installed it on a second older laptop with Intel/NVidia hybrid gpu's and am enjoying it very much. It is very snappy and stable.

I love MX Linux. I have run both the XFCE and KDE version, with the latter being my current favorite. I have also used their sister Distro, AntiX Linux, in the past. I have an N4020 Asus Craptop with MX KDE, and I also run it on my Ryzen based desktop.

You should get T-Mobile 5g Home Internet as long as you have power you can take it with you anywhere as far as I know

This is a good video. Wish I could slow it down a bit. Some of the circling mouse pointer movement made me dizzy as hell.

I've been using MX Linux 23 since release. The MX tools are what attracted me to it.
I'm not a fan of XFCE, it's fine, it just not to my tastes. I found KDE to be too laggy for my Optiplex mini, but I did manage to find cinnamon in on one of the tabs in the installer and that is what I've been using.
I have a Brother printer and couldn't use it with any of the Arch based distros that I tried. That was a deal breaker.
It is my main driver. It works very well and is very stable. I've stopped distro hopping with this one. Kudos to the MX Linux team.

How do I can remove the widget on the desktop right side on the top right side of the desktop it may be a clock

[proverbsvs]

Im new to linux, do you have any thoughts on a content/internet filter that works well on MX Linux? Thanks for all your videos, Im learning a lot! I did notice that in one of your videos you mentioned that Ubuntu CE has content filters built in when you install it but I didnt know if MX has them as well

[jakobw]

Can you get ALL of the fonts that are available for example, in Windows, with a Linux distribution - like MX?

[seeratlasdtyria]

I tried MX for weeks along with LMDE, Tit for Tat, I found LMDE to be superior, is now my go -to distro. VERY VERY CLOSE, soo your own opinion should govern YOUR choice.

I don't recall when I first heard of MX Linux, but when I was looking for a small 32-bit distro for my old EeePC from 2009, I found out that AntiX was just what I was looking for and that MX Linux was kind of the successor, or a project spawned from that distro. That's why you'll find some of the same tools, or similar looking in MX Linux. MX Linux had a slightly larger memory usage so at the time I wasn't interested in that when all I had was 1 GB RAM for everything. But knowing they're related, I knew I decided I was definitely going to give it a better chance at some point. But it didn't last more than a couple of days until I switched completely to MX Linux on my desktop and has mostly ditched Windows. I do occasionally need to boot into Windows when some audio capture stuff doesn't work with discord and I stream with friends, but that's alright for now. Hopefully I'll learn how to circumvent that at one point.
So yeah, long story short, as a Windows refugee I can say that MX Linux is a distro worth trying out. Loads of extra tools that makes the transition easier.

maté? I'm EU and always thought MATE as in aussie... xD

[deultima]

Looks cool, I've never tried it personally because I'm not a fan of KDE or XFCE. I do love Gnome and Cinnamon however, so either Debian with Gnome, or LMDE are my go to distros now adays.

[k.b.tidwell]

I like MX for the tools, but in that area Garuda edges ahead for me. For total experience though I'm staying with Mint for now, because of super-huge availability of apps, the smoothness, and other details. Mint does feel markedly more put-together and finished in my opinion.

[davidwayne]

It's MY second favorite too-- I like SPARKY best..and always come back to it.. I do love CINAMON- but miss my TILING on it.. unless you know of a way to do AUTO- tiling on cinamon...(NOT keybanging crap- that's NOT auto- tiling).
