MX Linux is a midweight, desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on Debian Stable 13 "trixie" that emphasizes stability, performance, and ease of use. MX Linux uses core antiX components, with additional software created or packaged by the MX community.[2] The development of MX Linux is a collaborative effort between the antiX and former MEPIS communities. The MX name comes from the "M" in MEPIS and the "X" in antiX — an acknowledgment of their roots.
The MX Linux community's stated goal is to produce "a family of operating systems that are designed to combine elegant and efficient desktops with high stability and solid performance". They maintain an active community with comprehensive documentation, support forum, and video tutorials to support diverse user needs.[3]
Beginnings
[edit]MX Linux began in a discussion about future options among members of the MEPIS community in December 2013.[4] Developers from antiX then joined them, bringing the ISO build system as well as Live-USB/DVD technology. To be listed on the Linux distribution clearinghouse Web site DistroWatch, MX Linux was initially presented as a version of antiX called MX "Fusion".[5] It received its own DistroWatch page with the release of the first public beta of MX Linux 16 "Metamorphosis"[5] on 2 November 2016.[6]
Distribution
[edit]MX Linux offers ISO images for installation that can be downloaded directly[7] or by using BitTorrent.[8] Physical discs can also be bought from retailers.[9] Fluxbox, KDE and Xfce are available in 64-bit variants of those releases.[10]
The MX Devs create Snapshots for ease of installation after a release. These begin a few months after a release. Snapshots include all upgrades & subsequent bug fixes. This greatly reduces the time spent and updating bandwidth usage during an installation.[11]
Releases
[edit]| Older releases |
|---|
| *The MX-14, codename "Symbiosis", series was based on Debian Stable "Wheezy", using Xfce 4.10 and then, with the 14.4 release, Xfce 4.12. The MX-14 versions were intended to fit onto a CD-ROM, which limited the number of applications that could be included. This series saw the gradual evolution of the MX Tools, a collection of utilities to help users with common tasks that are often complicated and obscure.[12] |
| *MX-15 "Fusion" moved to the new Debian Stable "Jessie" using systemd-shim, meaning that systemd is installed, but the default init is sysvinit.[4] The size limitation was lifted, enabling the developers to present a full turnkey product. There was a substantial expansion of MX Tools. |
| *MX-16 "Metamorphosis" was still based on Debian Stable "Jessie", but with many applications backported and added from other sources. There were further refinements to MX Tools, the import of advanced antiX developments, expanded support, and a completely new icon/theme/wallpaper collection.[13][14] |
| *MX-16.1 collected all bug fixes and improvements since MX-16, added a new kingfisher theme, upgraded and streamlined MX Tools, revised documentation, and added new translations.[15] |
| *MX-17 "Horizon" changed its base to Debian 9 (Stretch) and brought upgraded artwork, new MX Tools, improved Live operation via antiX and other changes.[16] |
| *MX-18 "Continuum" continued the development of MX Tools, introduced a new kernel, enabled whole disk encryption, and added GRUB themes, splash functionality through MX Boot options artwork, and improved localization.[17] |
| *MX-19 "Patito feo" upgraded its base to Debian 10 (Buster) and its default desktop to Xfce 4.14. It is characterized by new and revised Tools, artwork, documentation, localization, and technical features.[18] |

All releases are available with Systemd. The Xfce, Xfce-AHS, and Fluxbox releases are also available in sysVint variants. [33]
Desktop editions
[edit]MX Linux uses Xfce as the main desktop environment, to which it adds a freestanding KDE Plasma version and, in 2021, a stand-alone Fluxbox implementation. Other environments can be added or are available as "spin-off" ISO images. [34]
The four MX Linux editions:
- Xfce is a fast and medium-low resource usage desktop environment of Xfce version 4.20 offered as 64-bit ISOs.[35]
- Fluxbox is a window manager with very low resource usage. Fluxbox[19] 64-bit version is 1.3.7.
- KDE a 64-bit Advanced Hardware Support (AHS) version.[23] It currently features version 6.3.6 of the KDE Plasma desktop and Linux kernel 6.12 (or later).[23] Wayland is the default session, but X11 is available from the session chooser on the login screen.[36]
- AHS (Advanced Hardware Support), a 64-bit version of Xfce with newer graphics drivers, currently with Linux kernel 6.16 (or newer) and firmware for very recent hardware (for example, AMD Ryzen and AMD Radeon RX graphics cards or 11th/12th/13th generation Intel CPUs).[37]
The MX Linux editions major difference from each other in the following:

Design and features
[edit]Core architecture
[edit]With MX Linux being based on Debian Stable this provides high reliability and long-term support through rigorously tested packages, with updates focused on security and bug fixes rather than frequent feature additions. At its core, MX Linux integrates key components from antiX (a lightweight Debian derivative), to create a hybrid architecture. The antiX base contributes to a low-resource boot process and efficient system initialization, allowing MX Linux to run effectively on older hardware while still supporting modern PCs. Kernel options in MX Linux prioritize stability with the Debian 6.12 LTS series. For users with newer hardware, the Advanced Hardware Support (AHS) repository provides access to updated kernels, such as the 6.16 Liquorix variant in MX-25, ensuring broader compatibility without compromising the core stable base.
MX Linux supports installations on both UEFI[56] and legacy BIOS (MBR) PCs, external drives, USB medium and other block access devices through the graphical Gazelle installer[57]
- Handles partitioning and bootloader setup for diverse firmware environments.
- A feature for setting up zram swap device.[58]
- The ability to "replace" an existing linux installation by preserving the /home folder. A list of found installations to replace will be used to set up a fresh /root install, with /home folders (or partition) preserved.[59]
- Support for 64 bit UEFI Secure Boot installation. The "AHS" releases with the Liquorix kernels[60] do not support Secure Boot.
MX Cleanup can now remove: unused dkms drivers (wifi), MX Manuals and FAQs for languages other than the default. MX Linux has a GUI-based method to change the Linux kernel.
MX Tools
[edit]
MX Tools[61] is a suite of 37+ user-oriented utilities, many of which were developed specifically for MX Linux, while some were forked from existing antiX applications or are existing antiX applications; a couple were imported with permission from outside sources. These tools are also available in Debian Stable-based Linux distributions. The Qt based GUI MX Tools have been migrated to Qt6.
The MX Tools (see screenshot at right) are as follows:
- Live - Live USB maker and Snapshot.
- Maintenance - Chroot Rescue Scan, Disk Manager,[62] Job Scheduler, Boot Options,[63] Boot Repair,[64] Cleanup, Samba Config,[65] Service Manager[66] and User Manager.
- Setup - About MX Linux, Bash Config, Nvidia driver installer, Conky, Date & Time, Locale, Network Assistant, Select Sound, System Sounds, Tour, Brightness Systray, Tweak, Welcome, Papirus Folder Colors, System Keyboard, and User Installed Packages.
- Software - Deb Installer,[67] Fix GPG keys, Package Installer,[39] Repo Manager, Updater Settings, Updater, and UEFI Manager.[68]
- Utilities - Quick System Info and Format USB.
MX Boot Repair
[edit]MX Boot Repair addresses bootloader issues, supporting both BIOS (legacy) and UEFI systems by reinstalling GRUB or regenerating the Grub configuration file. Launched from a live USB session, it offers options to repair GRUB on the installed system, detect operating systems.[69]
MX Boot Options
[edit]Allows installing GRUB themes and updating boot menus for simpler startup customization and handles a common UEFI boot failure like Windows overtaking Grub in boot menu.[70]
A few tools exist in special cases. Live-USB Kernel Updater and Remaster Control Center are stand-alone tools. Eject USB is a stand-alone tool in Fluxbox and Xfce.
A particularly popular one is MX-snapshot,[71] a GUI tool to remaster a live session or installation into a single .ISO file.[72] The "cloned" image is bootable from a disk or USB flash drive, maintaining all settings, allowing an installation to be completely backed up, and/or distributed with minimal administrative effort, since an advanced method of copying the file system developed by antiX Linux uses bind-mounts to perform the "heavy lifting".[73]
Live vs installed
[edit]MX Linux can be installed or run "Live" (running from USB), unlike a Windows boot USB. Windows can only be installed (no live option). When booted from a USB, you can continue running 'Live' without being prompted to install MX Linux. This Live environment gives you a fully functional desktop experience. MX Linux accomplishes this by way of a runtime inherited from antiX[74] to give a fast read-write live boot media.[75] This can be coupled with a persistent live USB setup[76] to save any changes to settings and new program additions.[77]
As of November 9, 2025, there are a total of 106 MX Linux repository download mirrors worldwide in operation.[78] The MX Linux operated repos almost always are in sync without error. They are: United States: Los Angeles (CA) & Salt Lake City (UT). Alblasserdam (Netherlands) and Milan (Italy).[79]
GDebi replaced by Deb Installer
[edit]GDebi was an APT tool that was used to install .deb files from earlier versions of Debian. Deb Installer, a new MX Tool (GUI) can install local .deb files like the dpkg command, but with access to repositories to resolve dependencies.
Package management
[edit]Included: MX Package Installer,[39] Synaptic, Deb Installer, Aptitude,[80] APT and Nala.[81] Discover[40] is used on the KDE edition as Synaptic is not installed by default. Flatpaks are managed via the MX Package Installer. AppImage and Snaps are currently user-managed.
System requirements
[edit]Minimum
- 8.5 GB hard disk space for installation.
- 1 GB RAM for AMD64 architectures.
- Bootable CD/DVD drive or capability of booting from USB Flash memory.
- A modern Intel or AMD processor.
Recommended
- 20 GB of hard disk space, SSD for faster performance.
- 2 GB of RAM.
- Multi-core processor for good performance.
- 3D-capable graphics card for 3D desktop support.
- SoundBlaster, AC'97 or HDA-compatible sound card.
- For use as a LiveUSB, 8 GB free if using persistence.
Derivatives
[edit]The developers of MX Linux have also been releasing their own "Community Re-spins", which are treated as unofficial releases.[34] They currently are:
- MX-Workbench - meant to be a "Swiss Army knife" type of Linux running live mostly.
- MX_Minimal - contains only the Xfce environment, Firefox and pretty much nothing else.
- MX_CLI - boots to CLI (Command line Interface) with no Xorg (GUI), no applications, pretty much nothing.
Some community members exchange posts at the MX Linux Forum and distribute their own custom respins.[82]
- AV Linux is a Linux distribution based on MX Linux, focusing on multimedia content creation.[83][84]
- Commodore OS Vision is a community-driven Linux distribution for Commodore enthusiasts.
- extrox[85] uses the Xfce desktop with the Compiz compositing window manager resulting in a rich desktop environment with the look and feel of KDE Plasma, but having the advantage of minimizing system resource usage.
- iDeal OS - a custom & enhanced "respin" of MX Linux with privacy and security settings enhancements.[86]
- MX-Moksha 23.6 - MX Linux+Bodhi Linux/Moksha with a Liquorix Kernel, extra system tweaks, and custom utilities WITH NO Audio and Video production applications or Plugins.[87]
