MX Linux 23 “Libretto” is now available for download as the latest stable version of this lightweight Debian-based distribution featuring KDE Plasma, Xfce, and Fluxbox editions.
All three MX Linux editions have been updated to include the latest versions of their pre-installed desktop environments. They come with KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS, Xfce 4.18, and Fluxbox 1.3.7.
I use it. It’s certainly a distro. For my laptop, I wanted something based on Debian to match my server, and i didn’t want to have to configure anything That’s pretty much it.
I don’t love it enough to recommend, but it’s doing its job well enough for me. Maybe it’s problem is that it’s boring.
I’ll admit, I haven’t really experimented with distros in a while. Not since I installed Debian on my server.
Personally, I consider that a feature. Most of my machines are on Debian Stable, though I do keep a distro-hopping laptop around which is on the newly released Mint at the moment. I just use Flatpaks for the odd application that I need the very latest version of (e.g., Yuzu emulator). I will give MX a try sometime, at least in a VM.
Oh that’s absolutely a feature. Debian in it’s entirety is pretty boring. But it’s not making news or making memes
That sounds like it scratches the same itch as Linux Mint Debian Edition, but I’d personally choose LMDE because I used Linux Mint before.
Tbh, I’ve been considering moving to LMDE. Mint is very popular, which is a nice to have
