Contents

MX Linux is a midweight Linux operating system based on Debian stable and using core antiX components, with additional software created or packaged by the MX community.

What is MX Linux used for?

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.

It’s popular because it makes Debian more user friendly for beginning to intermediate (Not so much “non technical”) Linux users. It has newer packages from Debian backports repos; vanilla Debian uses older packages. MX users also benefit from custom tools which are great time savers.
