"Part of MX Linux's appeal is an atypical approach compared to how most other distros work. One approach is to try to support every major desktop environment, resulting in multiple editions and choices - leading to decision paralysis on the part of users. Examples include Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, and openSUSE. The other is to only offer a single desktop and invest all available effort into polishing that single environment."
"The change is not mandatory: variants of the Xfce and Fluxbox editions are still available with the traditional sysvinit. The version of KDE Plasma on offer is 6.3.6, the same found in Debian 13. Xfce is the latest 4.20, and Fluxbox is version 1.3.7 - also the latest version, even though it appeared a decade ago. For all three desktops, the default edition uses kernel version 6.12 from Debian, but "AHS" versions with the latest Liquorix kernel."
MX Linux 25 beta images are available in seven ISO editions. Four of the seven default editions use systemd for maximum compatibility with the Debian ecosystem. Xfce, Fluxbox, and KDE Plasma are offered as the project's three desktop choices, representing lightweight, middleweight, and high-end options. Variants of the Xfce and Fluxbox editions remain available with the traditional sysvinit for users who prefer a non-systemd init. KDE Plasma is at version 6.3.6, Xfce at 4.20, and Fluxbox at 1.3.7. Default ISOs use Linux kernel 6.12, with AHS Liquorix-kernel variants available.
