All I knew from trying out different live images was that MX Linux booted a heck of a lot faster than SystemD distros. Also, I had installed AntiX on an old 2007 EeePC so I was confident the team knew what they were doing. And yeah, been on MX Linux 23 (KDE) since January. Just had to reinstall recently to switch from BtrFS to Ext4 because I wanted to give it a try, but performance wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped there. And as long as you backup /opt/ (some custom apps reside here) and /home/ (perhaps not ~/.steam and other games but definitely .config folder and .bashrc file) then it's very easy to get everything back to how it was.
I've been using MX Linux since version 19 and never had a problem with it. This is one very worthwhile distro. I also use Solus and it is now working fine and solid with their problems resolved.
Hey I heard from a YT Linux reviewer (forgot which one) about the need to backup data in order to upgrade to a major version update ... say from MX 22 upgrade to MX 23. Is this true? I'm using MX now but that reviewer got me worried if I need to do a major version upgrade. Can't we just upgrade? Or are there some tricks to it?
I think MX Linux (KDE) will be an ideal distro for my photo / audio editing system. I always find each release of Ubuntu based distros introduce "features" which tend to cause issues. With regards to Debian having "old" software, it's less of an issue now that there are things like AppImages / Flatpaks.
@@PadlockCheeseCake I've been running MX Linux 23.3 KDE version for a while, and I still find those little KDE Plasma issues somewhat annoying at times. Perhaps it's time to simplify things with MX Linux XFCE?
@@PadlockCheeseCakehey do you have a video tutorial on how to set up gaming on MX Linux? My last effort failed and I went back to Win10 to play some games.
@@pietraderdetective8953 not currently but I would suggest playing around with the proton compatibility sometimes out of work I don't know what games are running but the games on my channel I have no problem running them on just the default proton settings so give it another shot what are you trying to play
Linux lost its way. It has start the process of converting everyone to windows and Mac. They want easy, windows and Mac linux. Which brings all the problems and issues, collecting your data, selling all your private information. Its lost the fun and excitement of just 5-10 years ago. Its becoming immutable crap. That you check the code or install working apps from its own repository. Time to move to BSD.
I do agree to a point. It was more fun when you had to edit files and such to transparent terminals and bling out your UI. But then again gaming was so much worse. I'm excited about how far it has come in regards to gaming.

Awesome thanks for watching!
Boot faster you say? Gotta try this one out.

Yeah I enjoyed Solus as well. MX, openSUSE TW, and Solus and my favorite distros.
@@PadlockCheeseCake I run OpenSUSE TW on my Lenovo Think Pad X230 and it is sweet.

Tried so many distros and so far MX Linux is the only one that was actually helpful responsive and didn’t brake whenever I sneezed.
Yeah it's been great for me too. Thanks for watching
Debian based distro + flatpak is all you need. LMDE6, MX or just Debian are my only choises.
Yeah it took me a while to come around I was a distro hopper but i have 3 that are just my favorites and have been great to use.

great stuff. you sure the 3070 wont perform better on Windows without the need for wine/proton/vulkan layer ?
Yeah it does but the difference is marginal to me. It's more fun playing around with Linux lol
