MX Linux is a midweight, desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on Debian Stable 13 “trixie” that emphasizes stability, performance, and ease of use.
The one thing I recently learned that sucks is they stopped support for their media codecs installer thing. Not available on their latest latest repo from what I can find.
Otherwise, yeah, the tools are pretty cool for when you need them.
I was actually on Debian for a while, but I had constant issues with it dropping my mobile hotspot connection. It required a bit too much configuration for my liking, though the installer itself was decent.
Debian was actually my fourth distro—I’ve spent time with Lubuntu, LMDE, Fedora, and MX. After struggling with Debian for a while, I’m back on MX Linux. I’ve also experimented with Parrot OS home edition, but I’ve found that some distros just play better with mobile hotspots than others. Home internet is getting pricey, so I prefer sticking to public Wi-Fi and my hotspot for the time being.
Why not Debian directly instead of MX?
Debian requires more config out-of-the-box to get a nice desktop/laptop experience. This is ready to go.
MX Tools. The same reason why one daily drives LMDE
