MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and MX Linux communities. It is a family of operating systems that are designed to combine elegant and efficient desktops with high stability and solid performance. MX’s graphical tools provide an easy way to do a wide variety of tasks, while the Live USB and snapshot tools inherited from antiX add impressive portability and remastering capabilities. Extensive support is available through videos, documentation and a very friendly Forum.
Things that are new in MX-21:
Debian 11 “bullseye” base
New and updated applications.
New installer partition selection/management area, including some lvm support if lvm volume exists already and the ability to set existing data partitions to be mounted on install.
New UEFI live system boot menus. UEFI live users can now select your live boot options (persistence, etc…) from the boot menu and submenus rather than using the previous console menus.
Xfce 4.16, Plasma 5.20, fluxbox 1.3.7 with mx-fluxbox 3.0 configs
User password (sudo) for admin tasks by default. You can switch this in mx-tweak->Other tab.
MX-Tour showing an overview of each desktop environment
Translation updates!
MX-Comfort default theming, including dark variants and “thick border” Xfwm variants.
Mesa vulkan drivers are installed by default
Better realtek wifi support
A ton of customization and custom scripts in MX-Fluxbox
-antiX live system changes
UEFI Live boot menus
Extra “rollback” boot option now exposed in menus
The live system will likely not boot on systems with secure boot enabled (at least for now…)
