MX Linux 19.3 - DVD

Now using Ritek Pro 60+ year archival quality DVDs.

Version 19.3 release date:  November 11, 2020 (Release Notes)

NOTE: This distro comes on a DVD. Please ensure that your system will read from a DVD before ordering.

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.

What's New in 19.2

MX-19.3 is the third refresh of our MX-19 release, consisting of bugfixes and application updates since our original release of MX-19. If you are already running MX-19, there is no need to reinstall. Packages are all available thru the regular update channel.

The standard MX-19.3 releases (32 bit and 64 bit) feature the latest debian 4.19 kernel and unlike in the past the kernel will now auto-update along with debian sources by default.

The AHS (Advanced Hardware Support) iso features a debian 5.8 kernel, mesa 20, as well as a new updated firmware package.

The KDE iso has also been updated, and being based on AHS, also has the 5.8 kernel and updated firmware and mesa packages.

As usual, this release includes the latest updates from debian 10.6 (buster) and MX repos.

• Xfce 4.14 or KDE/plasma 5.15
• GIMP 2.10.12
• MESA 18.3.6 (20.1.8 ahs)
• Latest debian 4.19 kernel (5.8 ahs)
• Browser: Firefox 82
• Video Player: VLC 3.0.11
• Music Manager/Player: Clementine 1.3.1
• Email client: Thunderbird 68.12.0
• Office suite: LibreOffice 6.1.5 (plus security fixes) (LO 7 is available in MX-Packageinstaller->Popular Apps)
• and more in the MX repositories.

New and updated mx-apps since 19.2. Highlights include:

• mx-installer (based on gazelle-installer) fix pertaining to autoinstall and ESP flag setting on UEFI setups.
• mx-snapshot – misc. enhancements, including a reset network connections function in the gui.
• mx-packageinstaller – updated kernel entries and misc. improvements
