Hi All,
I just switched my main computer over to MX 2 weeks ago and I thought I would let you know how much I enjoy it.
A little knowledge about me. This is my work computer and I use at least 50 hours per week. Before MX I was on Mint 18.3. I had been with Mint since around 17.1 I think. And I've been using only Linux for my desktop for at least 12 years now. Mostly Debian based distros.
Now that I've had a little bit of use with MX I can say that it's exactly what I'm looking for. I think I've found my new home for a while.
I love that it's based on Debain stable. You've done a great job with the default settings for everything all the way down to the bash prompt which is rare. I also really like the MX Package Installer. Makes it really easy to manage backports and just install things in general.
Also, I really like how all of your tools show the terminal output. That makes it really easy to debug when something goes wrong. The only issue I had at all during the install was with the Nvidia driver. It wouldn't install because of a conflict I had in backports. But since it showed me exactly what it was trying to do and what the problem was, I had it fixed in no time.
Not to mention that the people in the forum here seem very nice. This is my first post but I've been lurking for a couple of months now. :)
MX is rock solid, ultra fast, and everything just works! Really nicely done and well thought out.
Thanks!
