The official announcement is in the MX News and Announcements section (
viewtopic.php?t=79875) but regular users can't post there, so post your comments here if you like.
I discovered MX Linux when I decided to switch my Slackware system to a Debian based OS and almost settled on Kubuntu if it weren't for a kernel panic during the loading of it's live ISO.
I downloaded MX Linux 19.3 and haven't looked back. I recently added antix-23.1 (IceWM) to my multi-boot system so I can now enjoy both worlds.
Hats off and kudos to the devs of this wonderful distribution.

Happy Birthday MX Linux and many more. I remember seeing a video when I was using Manjaro years ago and I like what I saw. I had a lot of trouble with Manjaro and the support in the Manjaro forums was completely non existence along with being very nasty. I tried asking in the Arch forums for help that they were actually really nice about it explaining to me that Manjaro is not Arch and advised me to look outside of the Manjaro forums which I am glad I did. I eventually ended up getting help outside of the Manjaro community from Spatry from Spatry's Cup of Linux. A few months down the road I had a problem with Manjaro again but unfortunately Spatry was no longer to be found at that time. I then switched to using MX-Linux. Thank you all responsible for making MX Linux so great.

I discovered MX Linux in 2018, and had no idea it was a continuation of MEPIS (a name I had not heard about in years). I got curious because with a name like "MX Linux" I figured it was a distro for DJs. Turned out to be a pretty decent distro based on XFCE.
Of course there's always AV Linux, a distro for DJs based on MX Linux.

Happy Birthday!
I tried to switch to Linux as careful as I could, having so much stuff depending on a working computer. From all I could read and find MX Linux was among the 2 or 3 best options for me. So I gave it a try in 2022, and I have not been disappointed. A distro that works, and that is designed to help me get stuff running. Wonderful!
Thank you very much devs, admins, supporters, and forum users!

Happy 10th anniversary!
Never before has "spirit" been so important.
I am confident that the solidarity and spirit of the forum, development team, supporters, etc. will make the distro come alive.
One user described MX as a "castle of sanity." This seems like a powerful keyword.
I will continue to make artistic contributions from my own sane mind.

OMG that is so true, isn't it.
Thankfully, we do have a sister castle called Debian, but I like the MX castle even better. <3
Happy Birthday, MX! Thank you to the devs for all the truly countless hours of work that has been put in. You're all the MVPs.

Happy Anniversary to everyone and thank you to everyone involved in making MX what it is today.
I still have MX-14 on cd here somewhere.
I've been using MX most of the time since those days.
Distro hopped a couple of times since then but there was always something that either wouldn't work, or support was lacking, or I just couldn't get working at all and I always ended up back using MX again.
I rarely bother even looking at other distros anymore.
About the only thing these days I find I can't use MX for directly, updating Garmin GPS's, I use Windows in a VM running on MX to do the updates.
Nice work people

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MX 
As others have posted, I came to MX when trying to find a solution to EOL for Windows 7. I tried Windows 10 on a 28GB Tablet PC, which MS could not update due to the Tablet's eMMC storage limitations. I searched ye old Internet, and I heard about MX from various podcasts, and the infamous "DistroWatch". I'm originally a CLI-guy (Unix) from 40 years ago, but got hooked on Windows for 30 years. I was trepidatious about the switch to Linux; tired Mint, etc., until I found MX.
For me, the Crown Jewel of this Distro is the MX Community, and its Forum!
As I have said in the past, not only has every one of my problems been solved by interested, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and supportive Forum members, but solved quickly, and very often by the Devs, Admins, Moderators, and Official Guides.
What an AMAZING Distro & Community!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
And how can I call myself the "OperaDude" without some music !?!

I would just like to echo the comments from everyone on this thread and wish the whole of the MX team / community a very happy 10th birthday on such a wonderful distribution of GNU/Linux OS. I discovered MX with MX-16 and never looked back. Well I did distro hop but always came back to MX. I love the tools.
Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the Whole Team
