Please don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to be rude slander. MX Linux is not a bad Distro at all (even tho I’ve always opted for Debian instead) and peops are free to use what suits them best.

But compared to other Distros (like Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Mint) there doesn’t seem to be much excitement about it. I hardly see articles about MX and I have barely seen people outing themselves as MX users which makes me wonder:

Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX’ high HPD score?

Btw: feel free to take a shot every time I write MX :p

    they count clicks on a distro’s page on their site, not usage or anything else.

    if they dared put hanna montana linux on there, it would be the perpetual #1 listing.

      now is my chance to brag that I’ve been running HML on a eee pc netbook that’s mounted on a wall in my bathroom, for about 4 years now, as a music player and in case of emergency internet searches when showering and it does its job wonderfully.

        Hey, my wife wanted me to tell you that you’re not welcome in our house, because now I’m about to do the same in our bathroom (with another distro, of course) 🤣🤣🤣

      Hannah Montana Linux is no longer maintained unfortunately, so they wouldn’t put it on there anyway. You can upgrade it to the latest Ubuntu with some work, but you lose a lot of the theming in the process.

      Someone should make a new one as a “snap-free Ubuntu alternative”.
