MX Linux Forum

Hi,
I use Linux for +20 years now. The last few years happily with Linux Mint.
With my new Laptop I decided to switch to Mx Linux.
I'm really impressed by this Distro. Great job.

A big "Thank You" to the developers.

Welcome in!

And agree 100% with you! I also switched from mint a few years back and have been VERY impressed with everything here!

I tried out MX 21 a couple years back.... then hopped from disto to distro... landing with mint xfce. Discovered MX 23 and I am finally home! Awesome Job!!!

After deciding to hop away from Lubuntu a few years back, I reset my two PCs.

One with Linux Mint and one with MX Linux. I'm neither a command-line heavy user nor a command-line phobic.

After a time I decided 'One of you has to go!' MX Linux won.

I found MX just works and has a breadth of support programs compared to all others that I had distro-hopped AWAY from.

So am I!
I had previously used Mint on an elderly Dell Latitude lapton for several years, but I was looking for more stability and tried MX19 in parallel for a while - finally made the complete switch to MX21 and have been very happy with reliability, performance and usability. Now running MX23.
I am experimenting with MX23 on a Raspberry 4Gb Pi 4 - exceptionally easy install, less than an hour's work to have it looking essentially the same as the laptop - and it runs almost as fast! Definite improvement on Raspbian.
Many thanks to all you guys

I've installed Linux mint on non-computer savy people as a linux user-friendly distro... I don't think Mint is that user friendly though. Looking forward into MX. It seems more stable. I mean, when it comes to new linux users, I think it is a priority to have a system that will be able to provide the basics without any problem.

My next test is: will MX Linux install network adapter properly on my devices? That would be a big win over Ubuntu and Mint., although it may have been fixed by now.
