Fans are always good to have.
To be "the" fan is too high a grade for me (blushing). :)
Gosh, where's Steve Martin when you need him?!
MX+KDE=heaven!
Re: MX+KDE=heaven!
I find this discussion to be very interesting! Back in the mid to late days of our previous distribution, Simply MEPIS, I used to create respins of MEPIS using either Xfce or LXDE in place of KDE. All three were usable; the Xfce and LXDE versions back then were somewhat lighter in resource consumption.
I have at least four partitions using products "in the family": MX Linux 19.2 Xfce, MX Linux 19.2 KDE, antiX 19.2.1 Base, antiX 19.2.1 runit, and I have several live instances of these and others. I use Debian and other Debian derivatives too, and I have no particular personal preferences when it comes to systemd - I think the method is "unusual" compared to what I've learned over the past twenty years, but on the systems where I've actually used it, they work fine. As far as MEPIS, MX Linux and antiX history, I've never had major issues. In all the years that we've had base levels and releases, I've only encountered a few installation related defects that I've reported - and they were so long ago, plus they were in Alpha 1 builds, that I can't even remember the issues. Any other problems I've ever encountered have been minor application related issues; I always report issues - either to the distribution or to the application for the things that interest me; as a result, the stuff I use each day has outstanding reliability, and the software I've mentioned definitely qualifies - always first rate software!
Over the past couple of years (now retired) I still benefit from GREAT software. I thank everyone who contributes - developers, writers, testers, artists, reviewers, and community members; it all adds up to very usable, high quality work.
