Not only that, some even suggested wanting a distro that offered users a choice on startup between SysV and others. If only there was a distro that offered choice ...

Yes. Don't rattle any cages.

I don't know about "new hot distro". It's getting a lot of play now, in part, because it's stable and runs very fast even on older PCs. People see it's based on Debian stable, yet packages are updated quite often so they can't claim MX is just trying to put lipstick on Debian with the same...

He'll run Quickbooks Online, so that won't be a problem. I hadn't really thought about KDE, and Deepin sounds interesting. I will check them both out. I like the idea of KDE on MX, actually. I might give that a shot first, but on a fresh install on a different partition. Then I might reinstall Ubunt...
