MX Linux 21.2.1 - USB

Version 21.2.1 release date: September 18, 2022

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-21.2 "Wildflower":

MX-21.2 is the second refresh of our MX-21 release, consisting of bugfixes, kernels, and application updates since our original release of MX-21. If you are already running MX-21, there is no need to reinstall. Packages are all available thru the regular update channel.

Highlights include:

• Debian 11.4 “bullseye” base
• New and updated applications.
• Some highlights include:
• mx-installer received several buxfixes and improvements.
• mx-tweak has new options for disabling bluetooth adapters and moving Xfce/gtk file dialogs buttons to bottom instead of the top of the dialog.
• fluxbox gets a new mxfb-look tool to save and restore theme combinations.
• mx-updater/apt-notifier has option to use nala as the backend (see .conf file in /usr/share/apt-notifier for information)
• kernel cleanup tool added to mx-cleanup
• disk space check for /boot partitions to make sure a disk has enough room for a kernel update before the update starts.
• uefi management tool added to mx-boot-options
• new automatic PC shutdown option for mx-snapshot
• new gui wrapper for quick-system-info to generate system specially formatted for forum help requests
• Most apps received translation updates (with more to come!)

All kernel updates: The main Xfce, fluxbox, and KDE isos are all updated to the latest 5.10 kernel. AHS now uses 5.18 kernel (with updated linux-firmware package to go with it)
