Please don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to be rude slander. MX Linux is not a bad Distro at all (even tho I’ve always opted for Debian instead) and peops are free to use what suits them best.
But compared to other Distros (like Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Mint) there doesn’t seem to be much excitement about it. I hardly see articles about MX and I have barely seen people outing themselves as MX users which makes me wonder:
Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX’ high HPD score?
Btw: feel free to take a shot every time I write MX :p
It was around the end of last year for me. Got truly sick and tired of using Arch and derivatives for 2+ years and having them crap out all the time. Went through a bunch of distros, but MX felt the best and had the best support for xfce. Slapped nix on top to install userland packages, and it’s pretty damn good.
