Wow, this is looking good so far.
I downloaded the 64 bit, md5 was good, so burned to USB with the MXLive USBMaker.
That USB booted quickly about 45 seconds to a desktop with a connection and panel.
The sound card selector worked in MX tools, and the sound worked when the generic card was selected.
Internet worked, youtube etc, videos played no problems in the newest firefox 90.0.2.
It suspends and wakes up. All good so ....Install in my testing partition.
No problems with the installer, I could figure it out, I reused nvme0n1p4, and formated to ext4 the 88G partition. A five minute install, installed GRUB to the root.
Rebotted to the existing MX 19.4 to do an update-grub as root, and the new install was found.
So I rebooted into the new MX 21.
All seems fast. Here is the QSI

I as mentioned by earlier testers do miss the Disk Manager in MX19.
I tried to get d_O's suggestion of gnome-disks, but that was not in synaptic.
So, alas I had to edit fstab manually to access my 1TB data disk. (I cloned the fstab line from the MX-19 installation)
From there I can access my wallpaper collection to change the desktop.
All working like a normal MX release. So, I installed the nvidia driver with the MX tool.
After a reboot, the nvidia 460.73.01-1 is indeed installed.
Installed the usual packages (125 including all the dependencies)
So far no problems or bugs spotted. So easy, I will keep using it as the daily driver.
I am used to using my root PW. But this is using the sudo convention...how can I change that back to the usual root model?
I recommend that some disk manager is included in the iso. I almost forgot how to edit the fstab, the gui tool is so easy.
