MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and former MEPIS communities, using the best tools and talents from each distro. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint.

MX Linux relies on the excellent upstream work by Linux and the open-source community, deploying Xfce4 as Desktop Environment on top of a Debian Stable base. We draw from the core antiX system and and include work and ideas used by Warren Woodford for his MEPIS project. Ongoing backports and outside additions to our repos serve to keep components current with developments.

  • Excellent, It no longer looks like it came from windows 3 i have been running it from the live environment and so far smooth as silk. with no problems found.
  • Several issues. It isnt Uboontoon, It doesn't default to SnapCrap. It's 100% reliable. Other than that, I think it's pretty decent ;-) I run it on an ssd next to it's unidentical twin. Antix (in beta now). My other ssd is an herbalist adventure, also purist stuff. LMDE4 along side Sparky PoTolo 6 LXQt rolling. Playing with drive three-machine three today. Beta Parrot OS MATE/Home. BTW I don't use Arch
  • Adding beauty and user friendliness to the power of Linux. Great work !!!

  • It just works and never breaks. Its my swiss army knife, with many unique utilities it's live boot has the ability to detect lost grub and bootloader files, very handy when things go wrong. one click to install different desktops is a nice option too.
  • I tried 40 distros when I launched from Win7 to Linux, and kept coming back to MXLinux. It works on all 8 of my desktops and laptops, solidly. Now the KDE version has finally stopped me from EVER going back to the dark side of Microsoft Corporate. EXQUISITE WORK, People! I have not had a single lockup and am on my computer an average of 9 hours a day. I love all the cool MX tools. I also tried AntiX, but once KDE MX came out I am just too enthralled to ever try another distro. Thank-you for merging the minds of MEPIS/AntiX and MX! I cannot think of a better distribution that is so capable and easy to use, and just plain gorgeous and ENJOYABLE to use!
