MX Linux Forum

After trying four distros finally settled on Mint for this model laptop, clean install and even the two finger scrolling works. Haven't given up on MX, will try it again at a later date to see if anything has changed. Very happy with MX on the old laptop that is kept for projection duties.

After installing MX, the scrolling line on the right hand side of my old Acer laptop is working again after being non operational for years with Ubuntu. Another reason to not buy a new one!

Son runs Linux Mint on his laptop and has been unable to access photos on iphone and ipad, just tried on my new MX installation and bingo! Another thumbs up for MX!

After reading the review on Dedoimedo.com I downloaded the distro to try, and it is now happily running on my old seven year old Acer 5742 where it replaced Fedora. Ubuntu has been my main Linux distro for many years but I have to say that MX is on another level. Congratulations and thanks to the te...
