The amount of reviews visible without clicking is fixed at 3 so that only the newest (hopefully good) reviews are displayed. Yes, they push the older ones off the page but to your point does not eliminate them. There is nothing stopping non-newbs from posting 'My first month of using MX' or 'Thoughts after using MX for 1 year'.

A recent one I liked is below:

MX Linux 21 Long Term Review - Today I talk about my experiences with MX Linux over the last two months.

I regularily check the boards and they were not down any time when I checked. Also the MX repos were never down on me in the last 1.5 years I'm using my MX installation on a daily basis.

DW has changed the XFCE desktop screenshot to the current MX-23 desktop but no mention of the alpha release.

Well that's unfortunate. :-)

Maybe they are using it as a place holder for when MX 23 is released. BTW, the HPD just cracked the 2800 mark (2804) with second place EndeavourOS sitting at 2376. Both showing green up arrows.

I didn't do a blog post for the alpha, and I'm not intending to. just announced it in the community.

That probably explains the new screenshot. Do they do their own independent reviews?

Well, you better design a good wallpaper for the next alpha release then XD

I really do like the MX palm trees, though.

Well I picked a " Wildflower " today and the iso was obtained from the DW site ... worked just tickety boo from 19.4 to 21.3 via a live usb boot
dead impressed ... not grumbling at all in fact exactly the opposite

Even if it is renewed, I want to keep the palm trees.
