Here you can post about what you did to get MX to work right with your computer or if hardware worked right out of the box for you. This is for the computers and/or hardware that is normally hard to get working right in Linux or MX.

The Aussie version would be "Tall poppy syndrome" creates a subculture of stay in that comfort zone and be an underachiever.

Are you an AI?
You don't need an AI to generate stupid reviews. Simple Markov chaining is enough to splat out these zingers:

Rating: 2 - "it's impossible to switch off the updates checking. There is no such an option in the update manager. I don`t want any softwae to use the internet connection without my concent and permission. Even if it is safe and helpful, even if I trust the developes totally, I just don`t want it - that`s a matter of principle." Even if things are safe and helpful and I trust them, I still don't want them. Zero stars.

Rating: 1 - "their mirrors are slow and rely primarily on debian sources to properly work." Yep, every single mirror is slow. And the biggest problem with MX is that there's still so much Debian all over the place.

Rating: 1 - "the community support, while active, is smaller than more popular distributions like Ubuntu. Additionally, MX Linux's use of sysvinit instead of the more widely adopted systemd can lead to compatibility issues with software and services optimized for systemd." No duh.

These are not serious people and their opinions should not be taken seriously. DistroWatch reviews are good for a laugh, and not much else.

I think that having MX Linux that does not have an immutable base and allows anyone to learn with the option of making mistakes,fixing and learning from searching the forum also asking here is what I find the best thing about Linux with MX Linux staying out of that closed off base.

Just uninstall apt-notifier, geez... I for one and am fine if people like that stay away from this community.

Adding to what some already mentioned: there is no perfect operating system. Having said that I am happy to have MX Linux. In my 3rd year of everyday use the conclusion for me is that in MX I have a well thought out system with helpful tools and options. They are helpful esp. where I need support in things that are too specialised for me and which would take a day or more and probably some broken stuff along the way to figure out. I can, and I might, but I am happy to have a system that does it reliably for me.

I totally agree with what everyone is saying about MX..! And ,just to let everyone know, I 'm flesh and blood,not A.I., not the HAL 9000... 9_9 I just put a computer together, yesterday, (a Dell 7010,SFF) I'm way better at doing hardware, than software. I Have 3 computers running Linux; 2 running MX, and 1 running Linux AV. I decided to install Windblows 10 Pro,on a brand new SSD. I bought a DVD with Product Key, since I didn't want the hassles of a bootleg copy. This machine has an I7 CPU, and 8 gig of RAM. Needless to say, I didn't find the install of this OS, as smooth as Linux,and, nowhere as interactive. Also, it took roughly 45 minutes to an hour, to install the new OS. None of the Linux OS's I've installed, took more than 20 minutes..! Also, I haven't used a Winblows systems since Xp... This new Winblows feels " clunky " compared to MX. 9_9 Like I have stated before, I'm not a developer, or computer tech, but I know enough to use, and keep a computer functional. If it wasn't for having to use Microflop, to update a few of my devices, I would have never built this computer. Some on another forum said, "Why don't you just go to the library, or borrow a laptop running Winblows, and save the money"..? Guess what..? The closest library to me is 35 miles away, and, everyone who isn't deceased, is running Mac :rolleyes: Just thought I would chime in, and Thank everyone at MX for a Great OS..! :rock: :rock: :rock:

Can't agree more about MX, but Windows doesn't have to be crap for MX to be good, MX can just be good because of all the smart hard work that goes into it without whatever 'other' thing being 'bad'. I still need Windows for some things and for me Windows 10 carefully installed to opt out of some of the targeted ads performs very well.. I actually owe Windows some gratitude, it provided my first home Studio when the only other (software) option was expensive OSX and it introduced me to numerous Open-source applications which eventually brought me to Linux. If folks prefer one thing or the other that is understandable but Operating Systems are like politicians, all have flaws, all have big egos involved with muddled and often contradictory intentions. Use what you like and like what you use, I don't enjoy the tribal talk personally..
