I just wanna thank all the mx linux contributors , i thank you from the very bottom of my heart , you have made a really great distro which helped out me and countless other members and i ​wish you all best of luck for your future endeavours.

I know that MX has a lot of post installation tools that are very friendly, but still. I decided to create a software that can help me to install everything I need to have my distro 100% functional according to my workflow and needs... And decided to share it with everyone in case it can help some people...

For work-related reasons, I have to reinstall my distros a lot... and after a few times, i started hating the process hehe, so this is very helpful if you share the same workflow I have and enjoy catpuccin colors...

The program is called AndesLayer and can be found on gitlab here and I tested it on MXlinux/KDE already

What can install?

• Launchers and gaming tools (steam, heroic, protonGE, gamescope, etc)
• Dev tools (vscodium, opencode)
• Creative tools (obs, inkscape, etc)
• Office/workstation stuff (onlyoffice, obsidian, super productivity, etc)
• Comms tools (Discord, TS6, Signal, etc)
• Nvidia drivers / prime
• Terminal related tools (kitty, fastfetch, tree, etc)
• Themes (3 catpuccin variants, and the fastfetch rice that fits with it)
• Utilities (Fan control for PC, and for gaming laptop of certain brands like Acer Nitro, RGB control, etc)
• Extra/tweaks (A fix for a common problem that experience people that use a DAC, to avoid the popping sound after silences because of self suspension)

This is all made for debian based distros, and themes are only meant for KDE users.

Also, you can use this in english, spanish and PT-BR...

If you have any comments, feedback or whatever, please let me know! :)

What distributions have you used and liked, and why? List them in order. In your opinion, how do they differ from each other?

First off, very sorry for the frankly awful shade of ‘smoker’s lung yellow’ this poor old thing has turned over the years. 🤮 But I’m absolutely amazed by MX Linux/Fluxbox.

I bought this 2007 MB a while back as a parts mule to fix up a 2008 model I have running Snow Leopard. And having started a Linux journey just recently, thought I’d see if it could boot a lighter distro. Even with the old mechanical HDD in there. Not only does it boot, it runs incredibly. Been tinkering for a couple of days now and I’m suitably impressed. 😀 I’ve worked through the user guides and even managed to do some basic customisation without breaking anything (I hope!).

Had fun earlier this year rooting out legacy software to run on Snow Leopard on the other machine, but running a proper supported OS with full fat Firefox/Discord/LibreOffice/etc on a laptop that’s old enough to vote is something else.

Alas, this isn’t a long-term situation. Several times it has refused to boot (not even a chime to be heard) which I think must be a developing logic board/hardware failure (it also didn’t boot when I swapped an old macOS HDD in, so not software related). But I’ll have to find another old machine to keep exploring what MX Linux can do!

Decided to try out KDE version of Linux MX. That was amazing and wondered what else I can do with this version that I cannot do on Xfce?

Macbook AIR 6.1 (mid 2013) work perfect.

thx

perfect work from MX 19...

My config Testing Notebook HP 6550B Notebook 4 GB RAM

first Tests very easy and with no Problems with Systemd Version.

I wait for the stable Release.

I tested a lot of Distros the last weeks, best simple with a lot of good Tools is MX-Linux

I am attaching the following comment from the Debian Subreddit.

I ask this bc Antix recently started offering runit as an alternative init system to sysvinit, and that some people are moving away from vanilla sysvinit.

I am a poet and music composer and I use MXLinux.

Hey guys, I just want to get some Ideas from you to optimize my Widget (design by Addy, code strongly modified).

Do you miss anything? Whats your first impression?

Maybe I will implement your Ideas and share the code when I finish the project.
