MX-Linux; antiX Linux

[Chadinga]

The MX-Linux and antiX-Linux distributions are very similar, and have become quite popular. MX-Linux has held the #1 position on Distrowatch for the past 3 months (beating out Linux Mint by a two-to-one margin, no less), and antiX-base is (almost) a full featured version of MX (a truly full-featured distro at 1200 MB--MX 17.3), and about 2/3 the size--approx. 800 MB vs 1200MB / 1400 MB (MX-17.3 / MX-18).

Does any one know if the PineBook group has any plans to engage with MX / antiX? It seems as if this would be a really good move on PineBook's part.

Does any one have any ideas on the difficulty--or lack thereof--of installing MX-Linux 17.3 / 18.1 on the PineBook Pro if it is not a 'supported distribution'?

Isn't it ARM-based?

If you do a search of the forum, you'll find that none of the developers have the time or equipment to adapt and test MX on ARM hardware. However, members of the community if interested may always try to come up with a ARM respin.

There are a few distros starting to port to ARM processor boards, but I think the majority, (about 3), are mainly targeting the Raspberry Pi, especially now that they have more ram in the RPi4B, but even Raspberry are having problems getting their Raspbian O/S working on it properly at the moment.
