It would be helpful if you could give more details to the Dev Team about "lagging":

- What is your hardware like? Type "inxi -F" in terminal, or in MX-Tools, click on "Quick System Info".
- What programs were you running?
- What are the things or effects you noticed that make you say that it is lagging?

There are very few bugs in beta 3 compared to what might be normally expected. There has been three alpha versions before even the first beta, so a huge amount of work already done.

There will be no further betas; the next testing release will be the first release candidate.

Got this error here, Python3 seems generally to be a bit cut down, there's no pip either!
>>> help()
...
To get a list of available modules, keywords, symbols, or topics, type
"modules", "keywords", "symbols", or "topics". Each module also comes
with a one-line summary of what it does; to list the modules whose name
or summary contain a given string such as "spam", type "modules spam".

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

In general, programming languages included in MX only include the core and modules brought in by other packages. The python3-all package doesn't pull in python3-kivy or python3-pip but both are easy to install from the standard repos.

Can we really call it MX if you're using an Ubuntu kernel? I also suspect that SIS integrated graphics, maybe you can add a dedicated graphics card for next to nothing.

Your right I could try a dedicated graphics card.I experimented with mx 16 to show what you can do with such a great distro as mx 16 using my old system and applying packages from other systems.I can boot from 17b3 dvd but it goes to cli-installer then stops.Thanks for your answer john

with 17, you may want to try the failsafe graphics options. these should be visible on the RC release, coming up very soon (they are missing on b3).
