If MX was not so good, they would not consider it to criticize it.
I think it should be "gets stones thrown at it." Otherwise, I imagine a stone-throwing tree like the ones in the Wizard of Oz when they run out of apples to chuck at Dorothy & Co.

Only the stoned bears throw fruit at trees?

Trees are still throwing stones. :happy:

Stones are only thrown at trees that bear fruit.

Peaches and apricots have stones. They throw them on the ground after the fruit is ripe.

When translated into traditional Chinese and back on Google Translate, it becomes
Only the fruit of the fruit will throw stones
which actually means something...maybe has some deep Zen meaning, too.

MX is number 4 in ratings and reviews, after Slackware, Arch and Gentoo which are distros that have been around for years and that other distros are based on (meta-distros?)

Ok, mi inglés no es bueno y Google traductor parece que no ayuda mucho.
Pero creo que entendieron la idea y se divirtieron un poco.
Buen día. :cat:

Bad support from brazilian-abnt keyboard during the installation. And after it finished I ended with some weird keymap where nothing worked as expected, blocking me even of login since in no way I could input the password correctly. Ok, I could have deeped further in some docus, tutorial, etc.... but never had such a problem with Mint or Open Suse.
Is this something that needs addressing?
