Ubuntu sucks now. They use gnome, which becomes heavy and clumsy. Mx Linux uses XFCE, which is a lot lighter and customizable.
i could ramble on about how i love mx linux and it's one of my all time favorite linux distros.. try it out for yourself, and you'll see why.
Nice interfaces for old laptop also for my new one
Good system for old pc and laptops. But i prefer icewm, but they does not use it :(
It just works, and never have any problem since january 2020. And there's a feature to help you to install graphic-driver, etc. Many repos you can use. hope this prestige prevail even until all covid19-virus destroyed
note: can't be considered lightweight OS.
Replaces my Mac OSX on my old Macbook 2006 (32-Bit EFI). Works like a charm out of the box. Great Distro!
This is the distro that must be recommended for new Linux users! Simply the best, least buggy, most easy on resources Debian-based Linux distribution out there! it comes with out-of-the-box drivers support making it ideal for inexperienced users. and with XFCE Desktop environment it's highly customizable and so lightweight.
it's the ideal distro to be recommended for new users instead of Mint; as Mint actually isn't as snappy and crashes a lot (Tested with the default Cinnamon DE). while on the other hand, MX Linux didn't even flicker or twitch a bit in my experience! Being based directly on Debian Stable (version 17 and above) gives more stability and support; speaking of support, this little tiny distribution was among the very few ones that detected my Broadcom Wifi adapter, which was not detected by even major distros like Fedora, Debian and Solus! so here is a big bonus for that! I think there is no need to explain about the greatness of XFCE desktop and its amazing performance regarding resources consumption, which is perfect for low-end computers :) .
