This is over a month old and may have been posted before but I could not find it in quick cursory search.

Best Linux Distro 2019, desktop (Sorted by: easy, satisfying, challenging)

MX-Linux is a new entry in the "Easy" list and antiX-Linux is a new entry in the "Satisfying" list.

Please keep your minds out of the gutter.

I've been a steady Mint Cinnamon guy for over a year but have tried a lot of other distros just for the hell of it. Although I've been impressed by the look of several (KDE, Manjaro Mate, hell - even Ubuntu 18.10 is beginning to 'look' quite nice) I can honestly say the only one that hit me with a major WOW factor has been MX Linux. From the moment I booted I was impressed by the assistance upon boot-up via the welcome screen (Popular Apps! - genius!) and the sheer speed and smoothness of the OS. One or two headaches and I'm sure there'll be more but there sure is a helluva lot to be impressed by.

Started Linux with Linspire then Ubuntu, then Mint just setup very old laptop with 32 bit MX and then changed my desktop over to MX. Can't express how impressed I am with it. Can only like it to when I changed from XP to linspire
thanks to all those involved.
