I use Linux mint its the first operating system I learned to use since switching from windows an I totally love using it. But I just might try out MX Linux in the near future based on you very nice review of that operating system.
Zero problems with LMDE5 and now LMDE6. NO more crashes since dumping Small-and-Limp software, which I BANISHED from my home, and I also have garlic, silver cross, silver bullets, mirrors, and a stake and hammer set on my desk, just in case anyone ever visits me with a Tiny-and-Shriveled device!
I have had no reason to try other distros in a while, as I am just tired of mucking around and want a "lazy old guy's" distro. As an old IT pro, I was burned out, and this is a secure and totally reliable retirement Mercedes kind of OS, that does everything for me in comfort! LOVE IT!
Do they fixed problems with repo keys?
I haven't watched this yet but will guess the ending.
They are both winners!
I have been using OPEN SUSE recenlty- and it's turning out to be FAR more stable than even the Debian distros I've used…. and easier to correct.
The only thing I miss at LMDE are desktop environments.
Ty deff going Mx as a learning Linux person i like the flexibility to learn.
now on EndeavourOS, but still reminiscing MX Linux days β i think it's one of the best distros out there.
as for LMDE, i had issues installing it as the installer wouldn't recognise my EFI partition, whereas regular Mint installed just fine
I distro hopped a bit but came back to Mint 22 Cinnamon. Even Fedora cinnamon spin was giving me a little problems finding .rpms
I am currently on Fedora with KDE latest version. It's way ahead of both these distros & smooth performance. You may add a review video of it.
Thank you π. Excellent video.
MX-Linux user here..and a happy one! Made the switch from Win10 early this year and haven't looked back since! Absolutely loving the stability it provides, I would hate it have troublesome / breaking OS all the time.
Actually, LMDE has more problems than the normal Mint. Despite all the hate ubuntu gets, they have done a lot of custom work on the kernel and other parts of the system to make sure it boots everywhere. It just works. Debian is not so. Debian's support for hardware is more limited, because the default kernel and other code doesn't have all the tricks ubuntu has implemented. I saw that first hand when I was installing Debian on my Dell Xeon PC: Debian couldn't work properly with uefi, while ubuntu could without a problem. Others have reported similar problems too with their PCs. On top of that, the LMDE version doesn't have the nvidia support for easy installation, which can be a big headache for users. So yeah, LMDE is useful "just in case" ubuntu stops being as open, but ubuntu is a superior option for new users. I'm a Debian user and yet, for new users, I suggest Linux Mint (ubuntu-based).
ππ!
I've installed MX Linux on my old laptop that I use for scanning, was a good choice π»
I choose the KDE version, just because. But I do have to admit having a hard time to select a personal favorite when both choices are equal good in order to get the job done.
The desktop environment is just x11 not wayland, correct? I guess these are good for old hardware. But I guess in the future they might improve Wayland support. Just make sure you get the right ISO image if you have newer latest hardware.
XFCE menu is BACKWARD— can that be reversed? The categoreies go on the LEFT not the right. IT IS blazing fast.. Love LMDE 6– and once COSMIC comes out– I may use it.. (the official release-not some alpha or beta…the FINISHED cosmic.
I love Both
I'd LOVE to use MX right now– but I've tried and can't get my PROTON MAIL BRIDGE to work with it.. if I COULD- I'd use it all the time.. love it!!!
MX Linux user myself. Only downside it has no upgrade tool, so you have to install it again when a new version comes out.
Excellent vd ^^
I happily use both of them and have done for years with no problems at all from either of them. Good video and very fair.
i use mx linux and it is powerfull linux
MX Linux their XFCE new styles darkcold,darkblood, and darkfire tells us why they are number one.
The greatest handicap of MX Linux is the missing upgrade tool to the next version, which LM has. In the event MX issues the next version, you will need to back up your files. reformat your drive, install the new MX version from scratch, and restore your files and configurations.
LMDE is a killer distro, but I moved my ThinkPad to Archcraft (which has offered the best battery life of any distro I've tried).
Trying various distros I kept going back to Mint, I did try others on & off for a few years with the intention of ditching windows. I did just that about 9 months ago & have used Mint exclusively since that time. I tried LMDE & found it unstable so went back to the standard Mint Cinnamon which I have found to be rock solid. I use it at work as well as at home. I tried the various desktop environments & didn't particularly like any of them except KDE. Hated the Ubuntu desktop lol.
Thanks for this comparison!
I use MXLinux since 2020 (after End of Life for Win7) and it just works. It's stable and also works on my 10 yo laptop. I've tried a lot of distros and got stuck here for the time being.
π―Usefull information thanks,,πππ₯π₯π₯π₯,
I installed MX Linux on an old Core 2 Duo 4GB laptop and i was pleasantly surprised at how well it runs. I enjoyed using it so much, I'm going to install and dual boot it (via separate SSDs) with Win10 on my main i7 32GB desktop system. Hoping that I'll be sble to set it up with the same FOSS apps that I currently use in Windows, or find Linux alternatives. Then I can go fully Linux when Win10 loses security support late next year.
For me LMDE and the latest Mint version!
