Wow didn’t know there was a Twitter distro.
You made me exhale heavily through my nostrils. Well played.
@erezac lol🤣. But it seems like a good Debian based os by some people.
I love that decades in, the younger generations are still using stats widgets, and taking the same screenshot with neofetch. Some things are eternal
@Parabola as you said, some things are eternal. Neofetch is useful atleast in posting online about these, and the widgets are something I use.
Enjoy my friend! No hate or judgment meant :)
Honest question, but why not just install Debian with the Xfce DE? Why rely on a fork for updates?
From what I can tell both by testing MX Linux and by reading about it, it's nothing more than Debian with a few pre-installed packages and some customization. All of which could be done on Debian directly without much trouble.
@packetloss I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know
I transitioned from MX Linux to Debian without reinstalling the whole thing, since there is a Nextcloud instance running in that server and I'm not an expert on that kind of setup. I know it's not recommended, and upgrading to Debian 12 wasn't pleasant, but it seems like it's full Debian now.
Don't understand the MX Linux popularity in distrowatch, for example. While MX Linux, there was always some problem, now that it is Debian stable, it works and does not break.
Been using the fluxbox 32bit variant for a while, pretty good and solid, lightweight on resources (the device runs on 1GB of ram and still serves me well enough) only drawback is outdated packages (cuz debian AND 32bit), also I’ve noticed the MX team has done some cool stuff (like I found telegram-desktop (kinda active package) in the MX repo there is no official binary for 32bit Linux)
Fluxbox is still alive? No way! 😁
I thought a WM would be lighter on resources that’s why I picked it up instead of XFCE, it’s doing it’s job well I guess
Oh God. The neofetch shitposts are starting.
@const_void didn't know you hate neofetch. Any particular reason?
I'm using MX xfce to revive an old laptop that was struggling with Windows 10. I think it looks and feels great considering the performance.
@EthanolParty it feels way better than using Windows 10, no doubt. Even if I had only 1 or 2gb of ram, it might run pretty well, but 4gb, no way to go wrong with it.
@thelinuxEXP @[email protected] @[email protected] @debian A small update. For some reason, MX Linux has a lot of issues while installing software like RStudio, Discord etc. If I can't fix those somehow, I might hop distro again.

Update: Switched to Lubuntu to have an experience of LXQT. Let's hope it doesn't have those issues.
