Linux MX for the Raspberry should become better known

#1 Post by waldmattis »

I have tried several distros for the Raspberry pi 4.
For me, the most problem-free is MX for Raspberry.

There is an internet site that offers specially compressed ISOs for the BERRYBOOT multiboot programme:

It would be nice if the MX developer team could contact the operators of this service.

This would certainly help to make MX better known for the Raspberry.
But also the other MX distros.

Let me know what you think.

Karl

Thanks for the post and the good suggestion! I have been impressed how stable and fast our MXFBRPi version is during the months since its release. I see complaints all the time on the RPi Forum about all sorts of problems that we simply never see.

As soon as MX-21 is out, I intend to return to it in order to upgrade it to Bullseye and mx-fluxbox 3.0. That would be a great time to follow your advice.
Production: MX-23 Xfce, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 16 GB, SSD 120 GB, Data 1TB
Personal: Lenovo X1 Carbon with MX-23 Fluxbox
Other: Raspberry Pi 5 with MX-23 Xfce Raspberry Pi Respin

Since it's an official version, I can't see how this belongs in the MX Modified section of the forums, though.

Yes, I agree. It makes sence to wait.

Berryboot appears to be a very popular way for Raspberry Pi owners to experiment with different flavors of Linux.

These instructions describe how MXFBPi could be converted to a squashed file system:

Has anyone tried squashing the MXFBPi image?
