Hi there,

But, iso is doing 4,2 G ????!!!!

Hi rasat, Thank you for this list. Would it be possible to add an indication of whether the spin is in 32-bit or 64-bit?

Something like

MX18 Continuum (Minimal) Release by manyroads (64-bit)

Thanks,

I will check the respins if any information, and do edit.

[Stevo]

MX 19-x64 with support for some newer hardware, such as Intel tenth generation graphics, that won't boot to a GUI with standard MX 19/Buster packages. Includes backported 5.3 kernel, and the Mesa 19.2.1 that is now in the MX AHS section.

Thank you very much. Was very helpful. I liked the first KDE respin. But that second KDE respin is weird. I honestly got scared when I booted it up. The music started playing and a weird pop-up with cryptic text showed up after right-clicking. It appeared like malware.

I think the popup was just a notification from Juk (?) telling you which track was playing, if I recall correctly.

I have seen corruption in KDE notifications text before but it was a long time ago.
Who knows what modifications were made to the particular spin you were using. They are unofficial, untested, and not necessarily trustworthy although no issues have been reported afaik. Only a mother could love the theming in screenshots I've seen of some of the spins. :D

Agreed. As I'm a cautious person, I've only ever tried respins in Virtualbox and have not used them for anything where maintaining security is important, except for Stevo's (his old KDE4 spin) and Adrian's (Workbench, LXDE/ LXQt?) spins, since they are MX Devs.

With regard to jack's respin with the music autostarting, I don't really understand it but his approach is to create spins that has his "jack" user account preinstalled. When you boot up, it logs into "jack", autostarts audacious and music from his music folder starts playing. He has said it's because he's a music lover . It's a very rejigged and non-standard Plasma setup.

We don't know much about him except for his "respin" announcements on this forum, so it's certainly not possible to endorse his spins. But then, there are no endorsements for any other respin either, except perhaps Adrian's and Stevo's stuff.

The users need to know all these respins are installed at the users' own risk.

Oh, I didn't know there's also Adrean's KDE spin. Will check it out. Thank you very much.
