MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and former MEPIS communities, using the best tools and talents from each distro. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint.
MX Linux 19 comes standard with the stuff you want in a clean operating system install. It has Firefox web browser as standard. Libreoffice for office stuff. VLC media player. GIMP.
It also features built in tools that make it simple to install extra codecs as well as the nvidia graphics card drivers which makes it a nice system for those looking for a decent Linux install for gaming.
The user interface is nice with a single left hand side panel and a great default selection of wallpapers to choose from. Aside from that, it isn't winning any awards for the overall theme, but as with most desktop environments it can be customized to suit your style.
I've done a video here running through the install process. It's not going into any advanced partitioning or anything like that, just a basic standard install. Please note that it's been recorded from a virtual machine and for some reason my virtual machines are having performance issues when recording so it's a little slower than I'd like.
Another quick video showing the default system after it is installed and a quick overview of the included tools and applications.
