There is an offer from Microsoft to upgrade from Windows 11 23H2 to Windows 11 24H2. Do I need to to that? Now? No, there is plenty of life in Windows 11 23H2.

Which brings me to MX Linux. Do I miss anything in MX-23? No. I don’t know what would make MX-25 better than MX-23. Updated DEs and applications are nice, but it’s “just” more of the same. If everything is working, what can become better?

It may sound crazy, but I think software is generally very good these days. If not out of the box, then after a few tweaks.

Thanks to all the devs that make everything work.

a very solid perspective, I must say, I long for the day linux matures up and stop all the bleeding edge nonsense - Devuan with a more PCLinuxOS idealogy but with open arms like SparkyLinux and stability like MXLinux...it will be a daunting task to unsystemD linux apps which gets more hardcoded as the time ticks...

I hope to add to that statement in the nearest future - 'with precise, real life tested all roundness (creator distro) like AVLinux'

I look forward to your Greatest Hits @AVLinux, you might say this is over the top, well, I remember we had opposing ideas on cinlerra's addition to AVL, so I really look forward to your picks, since your long term expertise on the audio side is significant to the little video editing I do than my experience with 2d graphics... :crossfingers:

My gut is MX 25 version of KDE will have more alpha/beta period post Trixie release this time.
Kde/plasma 6 is almost 2 years into its release, so it’s pretty stable. It’s the main reason why I want the next version of MX.

Well, I really hope so because KDE 5.x on Debian 12 with the Nvidia drivers is, uh... Not great. lol

Really? I run an Nvidia card (old 1660 GTX) on Debian 12 in X on KDE and haven’t had any problems. (That’s my server/desktop. Mx is on my lennovo laptop)

Wayland is completely non-functional, there's some lag to the interface (with desktop effects and compositor cranked up anyway), and there's also audio lag. Firefox is the most egregious for causing the audio lag by far, but I also noticed it with local video playback I think, again with the desktop effects/compositor cranked up.

Running a Titan Xp here.

I am also waiting for MX Linux 25 with KDE 6 and QT6. It seems that it will be based on Kernel 6.12 LTS. Looking forward to that too. My hardware is not the latest but hopefully it will be better utilised with Kernel 6.12.x and QT6.
