MX Linux has a great deal of bloat. You also need a decent system to run it efficiently.
It's not the best nor is it the worst. It is somewhat OK.
Too many preloaded MX Linux apps and apps in general.
It is Debian based so you won't have the latest updates and the repository will eventually become stale.
There are better Debian based distributions out there.

Says more about that user's preferences than MX 21.

"Nor is it the worst", gives a 1. I guess that person's top would be around 5 or so, and the worst about -4?

These people just lie, trying to knock MX out of the *all-important* #1 position.

Frankly, I can't wait till MX drops from #1 at DistroWatch, position that means absolutely nothing.
Also, I have a very bad option about people who use the word "bloat".

Just as an ordinary pc user (even not Linux) or even as an ordinary person who is just looking at some statistics, from my viewpoint (objectively) :
When I click on
"Year 2019" it says #1 for the XX distro
"Year 2020" .. #1 .. XX distro
"Last 12 months" ... #1 ... XX distro
(not to mention last 6 and 3 months)
Whatever the XX distro is: that's "success" .
And it's normal, people may wonder new / other distros or different (non-Debian or non-buntu) ones ...
(Also nothing to worry: Even when that XX distro was on #21 , it was getting the best comments, most recommended / loved by its users)
