The release of the lightweight distribution kit MX Linux 21.3, created as a result of the joint work of the communities formed around the antiX and MEPIS projects, has been published. The release is based on the Debian package base with improvements from the antiX project and packages from its own repository. The distribution uses the sysVinit initialization system and its own tools for configuring and deploying the system. Available for download are 32-bit and 64-bit builds (1.8 GB, x86_64, i386) with the Xfce desktop, as well as 64-bit builds (2.4 GB) with the KDE desktop, and minimal builds (1.6 GB) with the fluxbox window manager.
In the new release:
- Synchronized with the Debian 11.6 package base. Updated app versions.
- The Advanced Hardware Support (AHS) and KDE desktop builds use the Linux 6.0 kernel (the Xfce and Fluxbox builds use the 5.10 kernel).
- The Xfce user environment has been updated to release 4.18.
- Builds with the Fluxbox window manager include a new utility called mx-rofi-manager to manage the Rofi configuration.
- Xfce and fluxbox based builds use deb-installer instead of gdebi to install deb packages.
- Includes the menulibre menu editor, which has replaced mx-menu-editor.
