MX Desktop Respins (list)

[DeepDayze]

Are there any current MX-21 Sid respins? Just curious.

[asqwerth]

I don't think so.

There aren't sid versions of MX's own repo and the packages within. Remember the team packages stuff that might not be in Debian at all, including the mx tools.

I mean, once you change the Debian repos to sid, you could presumably keep on using MX with the mx repo enabled until eventually stuff within might become incompatible. Not sure in particular how long the systemd-shim in MX's repo will last.

Then you might just be left with a pure Debian sid install without any mx goodness, which kind of defeats the purpose of using MX instead of normal Debian.

That's my guess, at least.

You could however try the antiX sid version, which is totally systemd-free. https://antixlinux.com/antix-sid-iso-files-available/

Pickin cherry thread. Amazing it's so hard to find the raspi official final iso. If it's useable, I would actually buy a piboard/keyboard pc just to see it work. The pi IS a desktop, just not x64.
It's apparently in "mx modified/mx respins" but searching for it doesn't give a link. In fact, what I did find said there was none lol. I had to use an actual search engine to find it (searx.neocities.org). Anyways, even if it doesn't work well it should still be listed as a respin cause if that aint, I dont know what is.

Chinese/Taiwanese one (seems with some tweaked support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese):

Live Debian System (MX unofficial respin).
with Mate (?):

I suppose it is from this forum's user Emer: ldsemerchen

There were some threads about his earlier Mate experiments last year (and he mentioned he abandoned it), have however seen no intro or link to above new respin here, so not sure how finalized it is:

Except here some posts from him:

There are Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English interfaces provided now and Xfce / Mate / Cinnamon DEs.
I also made a server oriented respin with systemd.

Greetings,
I am a teacher who is trying to refurbish 60-80 chromebooks with linux. I have sucessfully installed MX linux xfce. Everything is fine except sound - something quite necessary for a school.

When I searched the forum I found nothing when I searched MX linux for chromebooks. They are ACer c771 with intell core i5 chip. The audio is also from intel but I cant find a fireware for linux.

Wondered if any respin exists or maybe someone has done this and knows a trick I need to learn.

If I can figure this out, I'd love to post a respin for chromebooks as many schools will face no support. Be ashamed to trash machines 3-4 yrs old.

If I can get answers then Ill be back to ask how to share a MX Linux educational chromebook version. (and I will be very happy!)

Start a new topic for your sound issue, posting the QSI along with it. :)

Eadwine beat me to it.

MXRPI version works and booted OK on my limited 512MB ram PI with single core arm processor. I think I used Belena Etcher to burn the live .img to a 32 gig sd card. Been awhile so am not sure.

I recommend a newer board than mine though as a daily driver. Quad core with 2 to 4 gig of ram. Ran slow on my board. It was enough for me it booted OK though. Ran Firefox even.

Instead of throwing my money at another pi. I bought a intel NUC for 50 bucks and a Dell Chromebook II for 50 bucks.

I don;t know if my sound fix will work on loyal Osterhoudt model of chromebooks. Everything on mine works but bluetooth,
If he can handle a reinstall if it does not work, Just some wasted time.

Thanks, I added them in OP.
There are currently 10 respins. Openbox is missing and I didn't check if any x32 or all are AMD64. Not sure if they have the info.

Hi:
Please can you add to the list my respin with Mate updated to version 21.3, and remove the one with "Fluxbox only", I will delete the downloads of that ISO, there is no more sense to download it as there is an official version

The link to the post: https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 08#p716208

Best regards

Please check if I did it correctly. Also, if the below line and link were to be removed.
