MX Linux relies on the excellent upstream work by Linux and the open-source community, deploying Xfce4 as Desktop Environment on top of a Debian Stable base. We draw from the core antiX system and include work and ideas used by Warren Woodford for his MEPIS project. Ongoing backports and outside additions to our repos serve to keep components current with developments.
MX-18 offers the following features.
Updated packages
The latest updates from Debian 9.6 (stretch), antiX and MX repos.
GIMP 2.10 (with plugins)
MESA 18.2.6
updated firmware
4.19.5 kernel (with blk-mq file system corruption patch)
The new kernels feature meltdown/spectre mitigation, even on the 32 bit kernel.
The 32 bit ISO has a PAE kernel for RAM usage above ~4GB
Easily change kernels, say to the latest liquorix kernel or downgrade to Debian Stable Kernel (4.9) with MX Package Installer
