what is the default or recommended 'DE' on mx?

[makemxlinuxeasy]

if it's gnome, lots of ppl say plasma is far far far better

if it's plasma, there's seems to be lots of bugs on plasma, not sure they are significant tho -- https://www.dedoimedo.com/linux.html

Mention of XFCE
- dedoimedo's reviews of MX Linux 16 and 17 at the very least. And his article on what he views as the best XFCE distro of 2017 (ie, MX16).
- page 1 of the MX Linux manuals (under "Introduction")
- Distrowatch.com's page on MX Linux.

i wish they would just to have some bullet points on the front page or something

then it'll be simpler to find basic info

but i have no idea if it can even install via usb -- viewtopic.php?f=94&t=44170#p436339

You do not have to use a usb, can be burnt to dvd as well.

I think it would be best if instead of referring to another thread in this thread, you actually post a little reminder in the actual thread and ask if anyone can help you with an answer to your question.

Where in the whole world do people find basic information? Wait, I remember: since about 1995 it's been the website!

both A-X & MX are using the XFCE Desktop Environment, by default.

it's fairly straightforward to add inn any other DE via Synaptic

MX Package Installer is always the first and easiest place to turn, where we have a bunch of DEs for one-click installation.
