It is like Nix, but cleaner.

My Lenovo from 2015 has an option to fallback to Bios. And I used it.

I use MX since years. I did distrohopping before, started by Manjaro then Mint, NixOS, MX, Alpine… One day Archlabs, my distro at the time, was closed, I had to switch quickly and MX was an obvious choice because I can have a nice Xfce setup out of the box and it was the most reliable of all distro I tried without being a fork of a fork like Mint. One day I asked about a package update on the forum, and a maintainer quickly answered me that it shouldnt be a problem and the package was added in some test repo. MX is not a scam, I dont know why this distro dont make noise on the classic linux places, maybe because Mint took the place of the easy beginner distro ? Or also the average MX prefer to use its computer to do stuff, than talking about his OS on the internet 😆

I customised Xfce a lot, only with menu settings. I removed the window tabs from the status bar, the focused window title is written on the status bar. The window manager was removed for bspwm. The result is an optimized screen space while keeping the convenience of a DE.

You’re following the Unix philosophy.

I’m annoyed by these Gnome centered distros. If I had to choose a single DE for a distro, I 'd choose a flexible one that can run on potatoes, such as Xfce. I suppose Xfce as default is a part of the MX linux popularity.

In the meantime you can give a look to Servo project. If Servo is clean for you, you can support them.

Is Librewolf already a Firefox without ad companies colonization ?

Is the web engine an issue about privacy ? Or are these things implemented in front ends instead ? Sorry for my ignorance.

Is it possible to make it working on a today machine ? Even with a virtual machine ? Sorry for my ignorance.
