Intermediate Linux Distributions

8. MX Linux

In this chapter, you'll learn what makes MX Linux special, how to install it, and how to use its unique set of tools that you won't find anywhere else.

In the last chapter, we explored Manjaro, which is a fast-moving, rolling release distro that keeps you on the cutting edge of Linux software.

MX Linux takes a completely different approach, and that's exactly why it earns its place in this course.

Where Manjaro is always chasing the newest, MX Linux is built around one simple idea: give users a stable, reliable, and efficient desktop that works on any hardware, without fuss.

It's one of the most consistently top-ranked distributions on DistroWatch, and for good reason. Whether you're running a brand-new laptop or a computer that's been sitting in a corner for ten years, MX Linux has a way of making it feel capable again.
