Yes, so in a way, our success is based on our prior lack of success. We had a chance to improve the system and work out many kinks before getting overwhelmed with users.

So now you have to pay the price of success. You will be overwhelmed by many more users in the coming months!

Hopefully we'll get some of the new users helping to answer the tough tech questions--fehlix comes to mind as an example. And some to answer the easy ones in the manual, like "how do I install a deb file?", to take the load from the techy guys, without the "RTFM" response.
Re: Why is MX Linux so successful and popular?
MX Linux is so popular because it just works and is solid as a rock! MX Tools and Tweak makes live easy. The support you receive is top notch. The moderators do an excellent job of keeping the MX forum civil thanks to the forum rules set in place.

The simplicity of MX Linux seems to be its greatness.

Yes, that too. It's the whole package.
