Totally +1 for MX. I've tried a few distros over the years, and sure plenty of woes 'could' be the recent growing pains into Wayland, etc ... but thus far, MX has been so fucking easy it's almost concerning.

The only thing I'd slightly gripe about so far is the highly limited options at install time. No multiple partition setup or nearly any alternative choices ... but that can also be viewed as a positive.

From the standpoint of, "I just want this shit to work", it's been excellent.

I was also looking at cinnamon, but I wanted a KDE Plasma option. Then I ran into MX and figured why not try? A couple of very simple and fast installs later, and two different laptops are now running it.

The extreme ease at installing nvidia drivers was just icing on the cake for how easy the rest went.

First time i hear about MX Linux tbh. I check it out though see what it is about.

For me personally I am more a fan of a rolling distro on the desktop.
