MX-21 "in the news" and Reviews

[SwampRabbit]

I'm creating this thread to just consolidate and keep track of MX-21 release posts on the web, reviews, and other relevant items.

As a community it is important to support those who spend their time to write about, support, and review MX Linux (good, bad, indifferent) online.
Even one blog/website/vlog/podcast view or comment can make the difference to these creators.
Edit: they are going to be added in order they were posted/found, order does not endorse one thing over another, all are deserving of notice.

Please feel free to share anything you find online as long as it meets these loose guidelines, I'll review and add whatever anyone posts to this first post:
- is specific to MX-21 Final (and future minor release versions)
- must not be trying to sell or solicit products or services (its already a forum rule)
- must be original content (i.e. no redirects or be copy and paste of other's content)
- reviews must actually be a "review", none of this 5 second video with music just clicking through the menu and opening a few apps
- HowTos must actually be useful and not lead to instability of a user's system (i.e. recommending adding Ubuntu PPAs, etc)
- if you want to share a series or group of things about MX-21 from the same site, please provide the top level link

Outside of that let us know what you've found!

Rodney, thank you for sharing, that is a really great review!

[Adrian]

Geez, that Distrowatch rank again, I would much rather we were not on top than to be accused of gaming the system. Even well intentioned people like this guy are confused by that...

[SwampRabbit]

@Adrian I think he was saying that "he thought that initially before his previous review", everyone knows you can't really game DW, even if you could get more page views Jesse would catch on soon enough. I'm going to watch his other review later... its bed time... that means you too!

The review is very good, he likes many things (even to the point of shock), doesn't like a few things, but its a really good review. I wish he covered MX Tools a bit more, you can tell he doesn't know MX, but that kinda makes the review even better in a way. Good honest outside perspective.

Edit: for typo cause

My wife has one of those. I got her a new Macbook Air last December. Thanks for this info. Her old MacBook is sitting in a closet collecting dust.

I wish he would stop the fabulous, terrific, etc. every 30 seconds and concentrate more on the details.

Small ask for those sharing links, if you can format links like I did above so far for some of them already, it would be nice. Just saves me a bit of time, because reviews, posts, etc seem to be increasing, but not mandatory… I started the thread so it’s on me.
