What I saw from @Dolphin_Oracle in a thread here was an estimate for MX with Buster sometime in late summer-early fall (Northern Hemisphere). That's half of your question...

MX18.3 won't be Buster. This is supposed to be an updated version of MX18 with bug fixes.

yeah, 19 will be buster. and despite buster's "feature freeze", its still a moving target. I'm not even joking a little. If we did a buster release a month ago, recent updates would have broken it. They keep shifting dependencies definitions on certain key packages.

but if you want to get in on the early buster goodness, check out antiX 19 alpha. its rough but alphas are supposed to be

Sorry for being off topic but...

I have to say I like the antiX19 alpha. I have been trying really hard to tweak every knob I know and a many that I don't; it runs like the Eveready bunny and just keeps on ticking.

Upgraded both on identical older hardware using Synamptic. Works fine as intended.

Code: Select all

 Type: Desktop Mobo: PCCHIPS model: A15G serial: <root required> 
 BIOS: American Megatrends v: 080015 date: 08/13/2009 
CPU: Dual Core: AMD Athlon 7850 type: MCP speed: 1400 MHz min/max: 1400/2800 MHz 
Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] driver: nouveau v: kernel

The 32 bit machine had been running 4.15.0-1 and also has VirtualBox installed.
The 64 bit machine had been running 4.19.0-1 with no VirtualBox installed.

I hopped over here:

Desktop: Xfce 4.12.4 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid

Just testing.
