MX Linux
mid-weight Linux OS
Linux Mint and MX Linux
Jan 27, 2024 by mrtim in Linux
I've been using Linux Mint for several years and still consider it to be
one of the best (if not the best) distros available.
Occasionally I would try another distro that looked interesting. I always
went back to Linux Mint. I was familiar with it and it is very easy to
navigate.
While looking for a good USB Linux OS with persistence I finally found MX
Linux, a mid-weight Debian based Linux OS with a excellent “Live USB
Maker” that allows persistence.
Now I could carry my USB with MX Linux on it, work from any PC, save my
work, and leave no trace on the computer I was using. Perfect!
In the process I got really interested in MX Linux. I loaded it to a 10+
year old desktop and started testing. This PC has a 500GB SSD and only 2GB
of RAM. MX Linux ran good on it however I upgraded the RAM to 4GB and
noticed the increase of performance.
MX Linux was easy to operate and navigate. It's fast even on this old PC.
MX Linux has several custom tools that make things easy, like customizing
and tweaking, making that USB and many other things.
At this time I have been using MX Linux for my daily operations for almost
six months and probably won't go back to Linux Mint any time soon. I enjoy
the better performance of MX Linux.
If you want to revive your old computers give MX Linux a try. You won't be
disappointed.
