Found an MX-21 Fluxbox review in German… can someone tell me if it fits the bill for addition?

Thanks topcat, I’ll add it because you shared and there is like a sentence or two added, but it pretty much just names a few things from the release notes, and not pictures at all :(

Review? It's one of those rambling monologues which staunchly refuse to be informative. I guess the people watching this kind of youtube clip are the ones interested in trying out a new spin, and they'd expect some substantial info on stuff, from init vs systemd via what's new in XFCE 4.16, to all the fine MX tools which make Debian so much more comfortable to use. But all you get is non-specific enthusiasm. The guy keeps repeating how he absolutely loves MX, how this is awesome, how his wife uses it too, how this is absolutely brilliant, yada yada yada - and that's about it. 40 minutes of it wears you down :-)

Well, it doesn't meet my first requirement for a German review, which is not being in Danish .;)

We get 3mins of coverage in This Week in Linux #173, I've added the direct link in the first post to our mention, but for sharing the whole episode is worth a look
