From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can tell you, I'm using it for 5+ years, after years of Ubuntu.
MX is fantastic, I'm using it on laptops and my main PC (AMD 5600H) with the AHS version. Everything works fine, super stable, it's on my work PC for years and I'm using it 8h/day.
Just modify the panel (taskbar) to have something like a good old taskbar with icon/title of windows, and it's basically this.
Support forum is also pretty good if you have any problem.
