The Story of MX Linux - nice and brief.

A heads-up to mods here at the forum, along with other daily contributors to development and maintenance, would be good.

I think there are a few things a little off, but it is a nice, short shout out.

It is a pity he didnt mention the *fantastic* support the devs provide here - I think one of the things that seriously set this distro to the top for me was their integral help in the forum, their invaluable feedback on many many topics, and their *amazing* quick response to requests and mods.

This is a great place, a great distro and I am very happy to be able to participate and help here.

It should be noted that MX was originally conceived for use with low powered netbooks that were reaching Windows EOL and wouldn't run with newer MS versions. Hence the lightweight antiX base and the choice of a midweight DE in Xfce. It also is the reason for the default side panel.

I couldn't have put it better myself. I absolutely agree.

I also have the impression that especially because the developers here engage with so much helpfulness and patience, it rubs off on the rest of the community here.

I've never come here with a problem or question and left without an answer or help, so to speak. And always in a respectful and friendly manner.

That is really nice :)

I watched the video and thought it to be mostly accurate. It got over the main points of MX history.

I'm not sure about m_pav's comment though. I don't know who he is referring to when he says 'The original product lead moved off to join Ubuntu around 2016-2017'.
Care to enlighten us @m_pav ?

Missed that; no idea what he means...

Just a smattering of what I have to say about Team MX:

[davidy]

MX ideally summarizes why corporate behemoths are never actually good for the actual people they supposedly serve. Just like food, when farms are so big you need robotic tractors, the quality of the food itself becomes secondary to the profits and/or the political whims of the ceo's. I like the premise of segueing from a low power windows pc straight into debian itself. I would love to be smart enough to be a pc mod just to contribute. Alas, just my typing skills alone would hold me back. MX Linux is #1 for many reasons and the first and foremost is it serves those who run it and not the other way around. Love You Guys!

One of the written comments is not correct:

The only down side is that it is the slowest to boot of the four different flavors of Linux that I run. Manjaro, Gecko Rolling, and Cachy OS are all substantially faster to boot.

I don't think @user-hv9sg5pl8b is using MX Linux boot setting but something else.

I don't think @user-hv9sg5pl8b is using MX Linux boot setting but something else.

I am using Arch Linux and tested Manjaro and Cachy (Arch Linux-based). The boot is slower than MX Linux. @user-hv9sg5pl8b is promoting his favorite distros.
