MX Linux 23.3 - USB

Version 23.3 release date: May 20, 2024

Now using Ritek Pro 60+ year archival quality DVDs.

MX Linux relies on the excellent upstream work by Linux and the open-source community, deploying Xfce4 as Desktop Environment on top of a Debian Stable base. We draw from the core antiX system and include work and ideas used by Warren Woodford for his MEPIS project. Ongoing backports and outside additions to our repos serve to keep components current with developments.

Things that are new in MX-23 "Libretto":

Highlights include:

• Debian 12 “bookworm” base
• New and updated applications.
• Some highlights include:
• Xfce 4.18

• All release now include orca screen reader and a screen magnifier tool.
• All releases use pipewire & wireplumber instead of pulseaudio.
• All releases use “chrony” for time daemon chores.
