MX Linux (Fluxbox) vs MX Linux (XFCE)

Battle of the lightweight behemoths!

MX Linux is one of the most popular Linux distros.

This video takes a look at comparing the basics between the Fluxbox DE vs the XFCE DE

Nice comparison video. By the way, Fluxbox is a Window Manager not a Desktop Environment. ;)

Great video!! I would have liked to see rox filer as the default file manager. It's so flexible and has the rox pinboard!!!😀

The app launcher on the left hand side in Fluxbox is called MX Dockmaker which is a highly customizable version of the default slit that comes with a stock Fluxbox desktop.

I'd rather them have added far fewer programs and allowed me full access to Debian's apt or Synaptic package manager so that I could choose the apps I wanted. They could always have a welcome page and welcome video that shows *suggested* packages for us to add. I don't need bluetooth, power manager (no laptop), printer, scanner, LibreOffice, or many others. I always adds lots of my own stuff, though.
What they allow us to download through their package manager isn't a lot...not enough choices.

Omg. G-U-I, not gooey lol. Alsothanks! ❤ Your videos really helped me settle on Lubuntu for my dated machine. Which now runs Wayward on Steam at a more reasonable framerate than Win7! Still super excited about it lol

I will install MX Linux to my mother, i was thinking Fluxbox, but that Application finder, just half the name of the application shows, its too difficult to learn her anything new, she would not manage to do the window bigger. I choose XFCE for her.
