MX/antiX exclusives usable on other distros? [Solved]

IIRC -There was a post on this forum a few months ago - or longer - about this very subject, but it had more details - IIRC.
I think it had links to MX-Tools apps, maybe at an "in-house" MX site, github or something.

Re: MX/antiX exclusives usable on other distros?
I'm almost about to jump on the ArcoLinux train and to train myself out of ArcoLinux into Arch and beyond. :) Looks like I'll learn a few IT skills along the way, diversify my career options down the line. It's really cool that ArcoLinux is designed to eventually make you not use ArcoLinux lol. It's almost exactly where I'm at now: I'm interested in the education-progression. I want to bring as much MX goodness as I can when I switch my bare hardware. For now I'm starting with their most "easy mode" ISO on Gnome Boxes VM.

All MX and antiX tools and scripts are available for other linux devs to use and adapt to their distro if they wish (as Garuda has done)
We are not going to do it for them.

antiX with runit - lean and mean.

@MXRobo any suggestions on search keywords to find that specific old gem of a post? "in-house" perhaps?doodstecsonhere wrote: Thu Jul 27, 2023 12:41 pmSounds amazing!!! Thanks for the tip, @MXRobo . :) I SHALL find it!!MXRobo wrote: Thu Jul 27, 2023 12:34 pm @doodstecsonhere

Re: MX/antiX exclusives usable on other distros?
Q4OS also tries to use MX Tools.
https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3477
https://github.com/q4os/mxtools-for-debian
I prefer MX Linux myself (esp XFCE version), but Q4OS does have a great Trinity desktop version, so if someone likes Trinity, a possible option. It is an ongoing project, and the integration of MX tools is not yet perfect.

Not really, and "in-house" is my term.
I did find some links, but I think the forum post addressed what you're seeking.

Re: MX/antiX exclusives usable on other distros?
Also think about the community behind MX. If you have a problem or question, you will be able to simply reach out to the devs in this forum and they will actually provide immediate support. Don't underestimate that "feature" 

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Re: MX/antiX exclusives usable on other distros?
That's cool that somebody else uses the tools, too bad I haven't seen any pull request from them -- I mean I'm sure they can find bugs or fixes that would make the tools work better for all.indielinuxpower wrote: Thu Jul 27, 2023 1:49 pm Q4OS also tries to use MX Tools.
