MX Linux 23 - DVD

Version 23 release date: July 31, 2023

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":

• Debian 12 “bookworm” base
• New and updated applications.

• All releases use pipewire & wireplumber instead of pulseaudio.
• All releases use “chrony” for time daemon chores.
