Pyrrhic victory [From Pyrrhus, king of Epirus.],
(a) a victory in which the winning side sustains very
heavy losses.

Hopefully not to many of you died when helping MX achieve all the accolades its now deservedly getting.

Don't get me started on the text editor wars of 2017. We lost a lot of good characters there.

Edit: I must take exception to this:

A pyrrhic victory in this regard. MX Linux didn't fail the audition. It nailed it. And the only reason I didn't choose it for my production system is because it's a small distro, with no LTS, and I can't play those odds with serious work.

We will keep supporting 17/18 for years to come; heck, MX 15/16 is still supported, too. If that's not LTS, what is?

Excellent, well deserved accolades! Truly outstanding. All my experience with MX18 supports the kudos.

But I must warn everyone of what an old mentor of mine once told me .... "once you excel, you have simply redefined mediocrity". :lipsrsealed:

So where to next????

Congratulations to the MX Team.
Thanks for a first class distro.

Looks like the reviewer got 4 out of 5 correct. Good to see MX Linux to be chosen as

I would much prefer we win first place (which we did ) rather than become Dedoimedo's daily drive. From my perspective there is absolutely nothing pyrrhic in this victory. D's reasons for choosing another distro for his daily drive seem reasonable (from his perspective but maybe not from ours). I'm really glad we were able to address many of the criticisms he originally pointed out and I would like to continue to address them. We have benefited greatly from our relationship with Big D. both in improving MX and in spreading the good word. I feel very grateful for that.

Even in this review he offers constructive feedback. Maybe it would be useful if we had an official policy on some form of long term support. It seems like we are doing it but haven't announced or advertised it.
