From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Shifted to MX Linux, based on Debian, with Xfce desktop. Looks not bad in my opinion, but let's see how it goes. @thelinuxEXP @linux@lemmy.ml @Linux@linuxrocks.online @debian
Wow didn’t know there was a Twitter distro.
You made me exhale heavily through my nostrils. Well played.
Oh God. The neofetch shitposts are starting.
@const_void didn't know you hate neofetch. Any particular reason?
"guys look here's an ASCII logo of the distro I use"
okay... and?
@noodlejetski I just want to show what kind of system I use. That image is just the byproduct, in my opinion atleast.
one of the mentions that you added to your post (along with thelinuxEXP for some reason) makes it appear in a Lemmy community that's focused on Linux news, not screenshots.
I can tell you, I'm using it for 5+ years, after years of Ubuntu.
MX is fantastic, I'm using it on laptops and my main PC (AMD 5600H) with the AHS version. Everything works fine, super stable, it's on my work PC for years and I'm using it 8h/day.
Just modify the panel (taskbar) to have something like a good old taskbar with icon/title of windows, and it's basically this.
Support forum is also pretty good if you have any problem.
@Frederic thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it. I just installed it, barely 10 minutes before posting that, so I'm going to customise it a bit.
@thelinuxEXP @linux@lemmy.ml @Linux@linuxrocks.online @debian A small update. For some reason, MX Linux has a lot of issues while installing software like RStudio, Discord etc. If I can't fix those somehow, I might hop distro again.

Update: Switched to Lubuntu to have an experience of LXQT. Let's hope it doesn't have those issues.
I'm using MX xfce to revive an old laptop that was struggling with Windows 10. I think it looks and feels great considering the performance.
@EthanolParty it feels way better than using Windows 10, no doubt. Even if I had only 1 or 2gb of ram, it might run pretty well, but 4gb, no way to go wrong with it.
