MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and MX Linux communities. It is a family of operating systems that are designed to combine elegant and efficient desktops with high stability and solid performance.
"Ok, that doesn't really say anything of substance beyond that its apparently based on something called antiX? Never heard of that either, wonder what it is..."
A quick Google search lands me on the antiX homepage, which describes it as
Proudly anti-fascist "antiX Magic" in an environment suitable for old and new computers.
"Anti-facist Linux distro? I wasn't aware other distros were pro-facism..."
Reading down the page a bit...
antiX is a fast, lightweight and easy to install systemd-free linux live CD distribution based on Debian Stable for Intel-AMD x86 compatible systems. antiX offers users the “antiX Magic” in an environment suitable for old and new computers. So don’t throw away that old computer yet!
After scrolling down another half page or so to find videos/screenshots advertising a gui desktop that looks straight out of a 1990s CDE advertisement and I closed the browser tab.
Unless "90s garbage xfce theme" is this "one advantage" you spoke of, I call BS 😂
