MX Linux is my distro of choice, currently running my 13 year old desktop I built in 2010.

  I haven't used it before. Why do you like it? Given that it's apparently worked around xfce i'm not sure how I missed it, that's by far my favorite DE.

    I'm using the fluxbox flavour. I'm using it because my 13 year old desktop runs it like it's a new computer. It's rolling release, of sorts, meaning no 2/5 yearly upgrade/reinstall. I think also it doesn't use systemd, which was at some point important to me. It's really lightweight too, I run VMs on it no hassles. I used to use crunchbang before it was discontinued because I want the operating system to get out the way so I can get on with what I need to do. Unlike Mac and Windows which are, from my experience, always in your way.

    It is IMO the best Xfce distro, it has a set of apps (MX-Tools) with a lot of quality of life features (snapshots, backups, services manager, and much more). Systemd is optional, off by default but works perfectly if needed. Great community and great performance, 10/10 will keep using it and installing in relatives' machines, try it!

  One of the best features of MX that you can run it easily as persistent image on USB, especially if you get yourself a small relatively good NVMe SSD with enclosure (DIY USB stick)
