Please don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to be rude slander. MX Linux is not a bad Distro at all (even tho I’ve always opted for Debian instead) and peops are free to use what suits them best.

But compared to other Distros (like Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Mint) there doesn’t seem to be much excitement about it. I hardly see articles about MX and I have barely seen people outing themselves as MX users which makes me wonder:

Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX’ high HPD score?

Btw: feel free to take a shot every time I write MX :p

    Just about everything, really. I’m not a Linux wizard or anything, just to preface.

    I like the amount of control it lets me have over everything while also not allowing me to “accidentally” the whole everything. I like that it’s fast and not resource intensive. Love that I can run it on my crunchy old netbook, and yet also my gaming desktop. Also like that it’s Xfce which I’m fond of.

    I guess most of that can also apply to many other distros, too. To summarize, suppose I just prefer it.
