Gnome won't work well unless you "opt in" to systemd.

Perhaps they need a little supernatural help?

I like a plain and simple window manager like Openbox, but I remain a Xfce4 fanboy for two reasons: 1 . Xfce doesn't radically and suddenly change, forcing it's users to practically learn a whole 'nother environment out of the blue. 2. Xfce development is deliberately slow (like Debian, now that I t...

Okay, I agree that Linux DEs are better than Winders and Macs, but I find bare-bones plain-and-simple window managers even more fun than a full DE! Simplicity is king.

MX has it's own ad-blocker as well, that works on every browser! A simple hosts file is all it is but it doesn't mess things up like some ad blockers do. Find it in the MX Package Installer.

When I wanted to try a "truly systemd-free MX-Linux" experiment, I installed antiX and added Xfce to it (using the antiX software installer, not synaptic ). I think it worked pretty well, but it did seem to mbe missing a lot of the things I really enjoy in MX. It helps me to remember that ...

May I ask you age? Read "about Artim" in my signature. I find this funny because I stay with Firefox and Thunderbird for the same reasons. So I'm a little curious to know what principles you base it on.? I can't answer satisfactorily that without going against forum rules. Suffice it to s...
