:rofl:

You DO know how long we've been around? If you are getting phased by this then this is not your distro. Quit being so dramatic, please.

Yes, I saw that too.
Note to self and others: SysVinit is a good option. However if you run into problems try with systemd first. This applies to AppImages, Flatpaks, GitHub packages and even some Debian packages.

One of my favorite things about Debian/MX is that it's a community supported distro. No corporate or investor overlords to make decisions for or about the OS.

I agree and that is also an important argument against systemd. Beware of stuff that can't be understood, tweaked and compiled by "the little man".

I'm perfectly aware that much of desktop Linux was built by corporations, but I also think these same corporations have been clear about that they intend to take desktop Linux to hell in a handbasket. Look at the latest monthly report from Linux Mint where Clem is worried about Snaps taking over.

The "We're #1!" boasting is mostly a turn-off for me. A high ranking at DistroWatch may be nice for exposure, but I don't (and can't) take it too seriously. I don't recall a time when the #1 ranked distro at DW was the best fit for me, and some of the ones I've enjoyed the most have never came close to a high ranking at that site. MX was an excellent distro long before it ever reached #1. If/when it falls from #1, so what?

Since MX became #1, this is second time its downward. When this happen, all top distros are down. Something to do with the hit ranking.
Also something to do with it being mid-summer in the northern hemisphere, perhaps.
