After several beta and release candidates snapshots, the final build of MX Linux 23 has been released. MX Linux 23 is based on Debian 12, uses SysVInit as its default init system and comes with a choice of Xfce, KDE Plasma and Fluxbox desktops: "MX Linux 23 is now available for download.

Updates from RC and beta to final are fully supported. The live boot menus now have a more obvious 'check media' function in the top level menu. The media will be checked and boot will continue if things look good. Major desktop versions: Xfce 4.18, Fluxbox 1.3.7, KDE Plasma 5.27.
