A 'KDE' flavour of MX would be impractical to offer, alongside the existing xfce?
Every time this comes up, the answer is the same: who is going to do the work? Our Lead Developer already has his hands full with MX and the other flavors of antiX, and I lack time, talent and interest.

Yet this is not a monumental task, as the Community has everything it needs to do this work:

1) a choice of excellent releases of antiX to start with
2) a group of people who are knowledgeable about KDE
3) a tool (MX Snapshot or the antiX equivalent) for creating an ISO to distribute.

Only thing left to find is commitment and leadership.
Production: 4.15.0-1-amd64, MX-17.1, AMD FX-4130 Quad-Core, GeForce GT 630/PCIe/SSE2, 8 GB, Kingston SSD 120 GB and WesternDigital 1TB
Testing: AAO 722: 4.15.0-1-386. MX-17.1, AMD C-60 APU, 4 GB

From where I sit it not difficult at all. However having to support beyond here on the forum isn't something I'm wanting to do. joany's Guide is an excellent place to start.

I choose to use AntiX, (& to a lesser extent MX), because it is a lightweight distro. :happy:

If people want a heavyweight like KDE or Gnome why start with AntiX(?). :confused:

My MX 14.4 with KDE is way faster than many KDE-based distros. As is antiX. Add support and the way is clear.
