From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nobody said MX, because MX is the perfect distro! I'm using it since 2016 after years of Ubuntu and some Mint.
MX is the perfect distro. I'm using it with Xfce. Nobody hates it, it's a sign 😜
I hate it cause its implementation of Xfce is ugly, it tacks a lot of unnecessary shit onto a perfectly fine Debian system and there really isn't a reason to boycott systemd anymore.
But it's also the only distro that installs and boots on my netbook with 32bit UEFI and a lot of non-free firmware needed so I technically use it, even though I removed all the added-on GUI tools and installed GNOME.
