The reason MX Linux has a vertical panel, instead of the typical horizontal one: most of us have displays which are wider than they are tall (16:9). Why use a greater percentage of desktop height PLUS a much greater percentage of desktop area... just to display a panel? Try the vertical panel on a 15" (or smaller) display... see if you don't PREFER it.

Running MX Linux since MX 17. Good review, but two critical errors. 1) The MX Package Installer has built-in tabs for Recommended Apps, Stable Repo, Debian Backports and Flatpacks...that's the exact opposite of discouraging software from anything but Debian stable. 2) The Developers provide updated apps tested in MX, that's where it beats out just running Debian Stable.

Nice review, thanks. MX is a great distro but I too prefer Mint. I've used pretty much every distro over the years, but for me Mint has everything I need. I still use a multi boot system and I still test other distros for a month here and there but Mint is what I call home. MX is a very nice distro though. I think it's great that we have all these amazing begginer friendly distros which help people coming from Windows just jump right in.

Thank you for this video. MX Linux doesn't seek to be in any sort of competition, but it's useful to have a comparison for potential new users. The reason for the vertical panel is that the developers are also everyday users of MX Linux. Much of their work is on documents, so if you have a wide-screen display, it makes sense to use as much of the vertical space as you can. It's good that you noticed how easy it is to change that, using MX Tweak; not all reviewers have been so observant!

Thank you for taking the time to write this comment . Totally agree with you on the "usage of vertical space". It does make a lot of sense. But for me, I feel that xcfe looks good with a bottom panel. I loved the fact that MX makes a lot of stuff really easy, i.e changing the layout of the panel, installing of the Nvidia drivers with just one click and a lot more.

If you base speed on GUI response, ubuntu is slow because of the animation delays. I really like those animations. It makes the experience feel more organic than the instant response of MX Linux xfce. GUI responses is not a good basis in judging speed. However, MX Linux is a lot faster out of the box because of its better Swappiness settings. When I changed the swappiness of my Ubuntu, it worked just as fast. I think this is why you arrived at the same conclusion in the end that their speed is just the same on apps. Overall, I still like MX Linux than ubuntu because of its better compatibility, flexibility, configurability, usability, and stability. Ubuntu GUIs are still the better for me but that's it. MX is my overall winner. Why is it more compatible? It still has 32 bit. Why is it configurable? I can choose my kernels so easily. I can remaster it. Ubuntu may has more flavors but GUI is not everything. I like the app selections on MX better. Ubuntu apps crash on me rather frequently. At least twice a day, everyday, I have to send a kill command and its tiring to figure out whether it's the app makers fault or the not so good house keeping of Ubuntu. Why flexible? It's so much easier to do a live install on MX Linux. The user management on Ubuntu doesn't feel right. I won't put more details about this since this seem more like app specific. It just works better for me in MX.

MX is built for the person who wants to use the system on the computer and maintain it without having to learn Linux. Mint is built for a person who wants to switch to Linux and still has a small linux learning curve. You can give granny a MX system and when she has problems, talk her through menu clicks on the phone to fix pgp keys or change grub settings. A visit will be required for another system by you or someone that understands Linux.

Ubuntu...I don't class it as a beginner friendly distribution to be honest. Especially if you get... unlucky. Just the general stability problems present in Ubuntu is just not ideal. Like I've had more luck updating arch blindly then some older versions of Ubuntu.... which is scary tbh. And then... you get to deal with dependency hell and canonical forcing that stupid software store (and snap) down your throat. A noob won't be prevy to the concept of installing software through the terminal... which seems to be the only way if the software store does what it has historically done for me...and stops functioning outright with no explanation. Like I've had good experiences with Ubuntu, but those good experiences are but a flash in the pan compared to all the unfiltered bullshit it's put me through the years. Just recommend literally anything else except Ubuntu to new users. Like Mint, Manjaro, Solus or anything else that isn't based on that cursed OS/just a new coat of paint.
