When Rel. 21 arrived the distro slowly began to falter. I tested all the 21.X releases and some of the 23.X releases and found an increasing number of problems using my Lenovo and Dell laptops. These problems made MX impossible to use.

It’s a real shame because MX Linux seems to have had so much to offer in the past, especially in the way of tools. However, it is very dated, especially the ugly, notorious installer, and it has become a real memory hog compared to earlier releases. Just like so many other Linux distros, it has fallen off dramatically, especially since 19.4, which I believe was their very best work.

I have been having so much more success and satisfaction with Ubuntu 24.0 with Snaps removed and registered with Ubuntu Pro on three of my five laptops with updates until 2036. Linux Mint, LMDE and openSUSE Tumbleweed have also both stood the test of time over the past 20+ years.
