MX Linux is a Linux distribution based on Debian stable and using 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 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".

## Beginnings

MX Linux began in a discussion about future options among members of the MEPIS community in December 2013.[3] 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”.[4] It received its own DistroWatch page with the release of the first public beta of MX Linux 16 (Metamorphosis)[4] on 2 November 2016.[5]

### Distribution

MX Linux offers ISO images for installation that can be downloaded directly[6] or by using BitTorrent.[7] Physical discs can also be bought from retailers.[8] MX Xfce and MX Fluxbox are available in 32-bit variants of those releases.[9]

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.[10]

## Releases

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.[11]
*MX-15 "Fusion" moved to the new Debian Stable "Jessie" using systemd-shim, meaning that systemd is installed, but the default init is sysvinit.[3] 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.[12][13]
*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.[14]
*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.[15]
*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.[16]
*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.[17]

* MX-21 "Wildflower" was released on 21 October 2021. It is based on Debian 11.0 (Bullseye) and is available as Xfce, KDE or Fluxbox versions. Disk Manager returns and for share settings, MX Samba Config app (GUI) is included.[18] MX-21.1 was released on 9 April 2022.[19] MX-21.2 was released on 28 August 2022.[20] MX-21.2.1 was released on 18 September 2022.[21] MX-21.3 3rd refresh of MX-21, was released on 14 January 2023.[22]

* MX-23 "Libretto" was released on 31 July 2023. Based on Debian 12 with bug fixes, new kernels, and many application updates. Available as Xfce (4.18), Xfce AHS, KDE, and Fluxbox versions. Further details are in the MX blog.[23] MX-23.1 "Libretto" was released on 15 October 2023. First ISO refresh of the initial MX-23 release.[24]

* MX-23.2 "Libretto" was released on 21 January 2024. 2nd ISO refresh of MX-23, consisting of Debian 12.4, bug fixes, newer kernels, updated firmware & mesa libraries, Pipewire 1.0, and two new tools: MX Locale and Papirus Folder Colors.[25] MX-23.3 "Libretto" was released on 19 May 2024. 3rd ISO refresh of MX-23[26] MX-23.4 "Libretto" was released on 15 September 2024. 4th ISO refresh of MX-23[27]

* MX-23.5 "Libretto" was released on 13 January 2025. 5th ISO refresh of MX-23, consisting of an update to Debian 12.9, kernel updates, MX Package Installer has UI improvements and better version display for packages, updated Xfce 4.20 core packages, bug fixes, language updates, and many new applications in the MX 'test' repository.[28]

* MX-23.6 "Libretto" was released on 13 April 2025. 6th ISO refresh of MX-23, consisting of: update to Debian 12.10, kernel updates, bug fixes, and language updates. UEFI Manager, a new app for managing UEFI settings. Many new applications in the MX 'test' repository.[29][30]

* MX-25 RC 1"Infinity" was released on 26 October 2025 and was built on Debian 13 Trixie.[31] Standard kernel is 6.12.43 with Liquorix 6.15 for the Advanced Hardware Support “ahs”. New is the deb822 sources format. The installer can “replace” an existing install and offers zram swap.[32] Support for Secure Boot. KDE is version 6.3.6 with Wayland and X11.

## Desktop editions

MX Linux uses Xfce as the main desktop environment, to which it adds a free-standing KDE Plasma version and, in 2021, a stand-alone Fluxbox implementation. Other environments can be added or are available as "spin-off" ISO images.

The four MX Linux editions:

* Xfce is a fast and medium-low resource usage desktop environment of Xfce version 4.20 offered in 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs.[33]
* Fluxbox is a window manager with very low resource usage. This edition was first released on 21 October 2021.[34] 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available.
* KDE is available only as a 64-bit Advanced Hardware Support (AHS) version. It currently features version 5.27 of the KDE Plasma desktop and Linux kernel 6.1 (or later).[35] This edition was first released on 16 August 2020.[36] Starting with MX 21.3 the KDE edition is now a full AHS enabled release.[37]
* AHS (Advanced Hardware Support), a 64-bit only version of Xfce with newer graphics drivers, currently with Linux kernel 6.0 (or newer) and firmware for very recent hardware (for example, AMD Ryzen and AMD Radeon RX graphics cards or 9th/10th/11th/12th/13th generation Intel CPUs).[38]

The MX Linux editions differ from each other in the following:

Software  | Xfce | KDE | Fluxbox

## Features

MX Linux has basic tools like a graphic installer that handles UEFI and MBR aka 'Legacy' computers, a GUI-based method to change a Linux kernel and other core programs.

### MX Tools

MX Tools[67] is a suite of 35+ 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 MX Tools (see screenshot at right) are as follows:

* Live \- Live USB maker and Snapshot.

* Maintenance \- Chroot Rescue Scan, Disk Manager,[68] Job Scheduler, Boot Options,[69] Boot Repair,[70] Cleanup, Samba Config,[71] Service Manager[72] 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,[73] Fix GPG keys, Package Installer,[74] Repo Manager and UEFI Manager.[75]

Utilities \- Quick System Info and Format USB.

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,[76] a GUI tool to remaster a live session or installation into a single .ISO file.[77] 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".[78]

### Live vs installed

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. This live environment gives you a fully functional desktop experience. MX Linux accomplishes this by way of a runtime inherited from antiX[79] to give a fast read-write live boot media.[80] This can be coupled with a persistent live USB setup[81] to save any changes to settings and new program additions.[82]

As of April 13, 2025, there are a total of 106 MX Linux repository download mirrors worldwide in operation.[83] The MX 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).[84]

### GDebi replaced by Deb Installer

GDebi was an APT tool that was used to install .deb files from earlier versions of Debian. The Deb Installer is a new MX Tool (GUI) that can install local .deb files like the dpkg command, but with access to repositories to resolve dependencies.

### Package management

Included: MX Package Installer,[85] Synaptic, Deb Installer, Aptitude,[86] APT and Nala.[87] Discover[88] 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

Minimum

* 8.5 GB hard disk space for installation.
* 1 GB RAM for i686 and AMD64 architectures.
* Bootable CD/DVD drive or capability of booting from USB Flash memory.
* A modern i686 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

The developers of MX Linux have also been releasing their own "Community Re-spins", which are treated as unofficial releases.[89] 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 Forum and distribute their own custom respins.[90]

* AV Linux is a Linux distribution based on MX Linux, focusing on multimedia content creation.[91][92]

* Commodore OS Vision is a community-driven Linux distribution for Commodore enthusiasts.

* iDeal OS \- a custom & enhanced "respin" of MX Linux with privacy and security settings enhancements.[93]

* 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.[94]
