At first, MX didn't install the default video driver (modesett) for me, but once I deleted the config file, Dangerous Waters started running fine on Steam. Then I went to check out Virtual Pool 4, and as a result, when changing the resolution or switching to full-screen mode, you get a permanent black screen; even when you just hover the mouse over the brightness slider, the graphics in the game window die. But overall, I’m very happy with this distribution as my first experience after nearly 15 years of using Windows.

I've tried and tried several distros to install on my Optiplex 755—Solidx, PCLinuxOS, xubuntu—but I have to say that none have been as precise, smooth, or easy to install as MX.
Not to mention the performance; with 8GB of RAM, it flies like a charm, perhaps also because I activated a kind of performance booster during installation (I don't remember the exact name, but it was something that increased memory performance).
Xfce flies, of course!
If I had to find a flaw in this distro, it's that it's not rolling. I was looking for a rolling or semi-rolling one, but otherwise, it's perfect for many PCs without a doubt!
Truly, a round of applause for the developers. Who knows, maybe one day they'll manage to make it rolling... who knows?
I'm not surprised that it's still in second place in the rankings; it deserves it!

Fantastic! I use older laptops that have had WIn 10 and Win 11 OS's installed on them. As always going to MxLinux has saved them. The simple fact that Mx runs pure Debian is a plus. I went to MxLInux around 2017 as it transitioned from AntiX, Having the choice of running FluxBox, Gnome, and even LxQT is another plus. I use XFCE as it comes then go through the set up to move my icons and task bars around for my standard desk top layout. I currently prefer MxLInux over Mint as Mint has had way to much UBUNTU in it. Yep... Sticking with a pure Debian OS has its advantages...
