I feel like MX Linux has been at or near the top of Distrowatch forever, but I literally never hear it mentioned elsewhere on the web. Is it just people literally asking this question for them selves, clicking on it and bumping it up? Has anyone tried MX to see if it lives up?

    Speaking just from my experience:

    It’s small, it’s stable, and it supports legacy hardware.

    In addition, its Xfce implementation is polished and easy to use. It has a straightforward package installation utility.

    I’ve used a whole bunch of lightweight Linux distros, and MX’s level of polish is uncommon for a distro that can easily live on a 16GB drive
