I got tired of LMDE and am a longtime lover of XFCE (though haven’t used it in years) and I gotta say this is a distro that feels like a distinct distro for once. Comes with an amazing set of tools__ the way OpenSUSE does, especially the GUI package manager and the ability to make a bootable live ISO of your running system. Definitely not your normal Debian derivative IMO. Definitely a distro I slept on for a long time. Choice of init system too is chefs kiss for all the systemD haters. The antiX foundation is nice too as I agree on their values 100%, but that distro is too minimal for my needs.

MX on a laptop. It just works™. I have Artix (Dinit) on my PC. Also happy as a clam with that. My only regret is not switching sooner.

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.
