I used MX for a bit. Its actually pretty solid and I liked their Fluxbox setup. Very similar to Mint as it provides quite a solid suite of tried and tested tools and is fairly easy to get started with if you have basic computer experience. It also has non-systemd options for those who are into that. Quite a few reasons for folks to check it out so I am not shocked its towards the top of the list.

Just a simple run down of DistroWatch's best distros of the year.

Currently using Linux Mint Mate and I gotta agree with them that it's pretty fucking great. Whats everyone's favorite distro of 2025?

Looks adorable! Love the bird and the pattern on the teacup!

Anyone tried POP!_OS's new cosmic for gaming? by WorkingPie in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
[-] WorkingPie@feddit.online 3 points 6 days ago

Tried it awhile back. I primarily use either Gnome or MATE but I found Cosmic to be a solid setup as well. Worked well for all my games though I primarily play strategy titles (CK3, Vic3, EU5) so my experience is limited to those. The only thing that stuck out to me is that as far as I can tell Cosmic doesn't have hdr support (been a minute since I last tried it so this may no longer be true).

Not Linux but I figured a review of a Unix system would also be of interest here.

DistroWatch Weekly - Review of Gnoppix AI Linux 25_10 (Yes its about as bad as it sounds) (distrowatch.com)

A review of the new version of Gnoppix AI Linux from DistroWatch. Seems to be in a fairly poor state and fulfills little of what it actually claims to do. Not shocked from something claiming to be an AI focused Linux distro.

A short review of the recent MX Linux 25. Solid review and it's good to see a great distro like MX get some coverage.
