You can talk about other distros here, but no MX bashing. You can email the developers of MX if you just want to say you dislike or hate MX.
Interesting reading for anyone wanting longer than long term support ...
Civil Infrastructure Platform project has expanded its super-long-term stable (SLTS) kernel program with a 6.1-based series. Just like for the previously started kernel series (4.4-cip, 4.19-cip and 5.10-cip), the project is committed to maintaining the 6.1-cip kernel for a minimum of 10 years after its initial release.

Pour les nouveaux utilisateurs: Alt+F1 pour le manuel, ou FAQS, MX MANUEL, et Conseils MXConseils Debian - Info. système “quick-system-info-mx” (QSI) ... Ici: System: MX-19-23_x64 & antiX23_x32 runit
I'm amazed 10 years, so IF someone wanted to have that, how would they let's say on oh a MX23 desktop is that possible surely not, and I presume that there would be cost (fair enough) too, Incredibly good news for businesses.
I've read that there are huge numbers of servers that are running some really old distro releases, so keeping their kernels secure seems like a good idea.

The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing
@MXRobo Nah, as with most things in the Linux Foundation, the docs and links are usually buried deep in reading about ;-/ (At least.. that is what I have seen / found.)
It has been a VERY long time since I tried to build a kernel from scratch, and it was always a lesson in "what I really dont know" ... but I am sure we can find someone who does build them some place. I was just really happy to learn there are peeps wanting to seriously maintain long term kernels :-)

I looked at your links a little yesterday and didn't find any downloads links easily and I found something like contact us if you have questions which seemed to be regarding businesses a little more than individuals, so I assumed they were available as proprietary kernel$.
Thanks for the links – I assumed as artytux did.
At least it didn't take long to read my incorrect post!
hahaha... no worries, I should have linked them on the original post too...
and yes they DO want businesses to sign up and be 'a member' :-) ( Keeps them going - somebody has to pay for 'free' :-)

@CharlesV the conservative side of me (and I'm all over the place in different areas, maybe even extreme liberal/conservative at times) has considered the term "free" to be almost a pet peeve of mine as with many of mankind's semantics, many definitions are (humanly) subjective and some are even moreso individually subjective as EDIT many things are not nothing is free unless perspective is considered - like free for an individual or group. And even absent life, rain isn't free, it's simply in layman's terms – changes of energy states.
