A much improved MX-RPi alpha2 is now available at the same location:

https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=78012

Here it is running on RPi's Official Display using a Pi 4; some desktop mods made to accommodate the device:

MX-PackageInstaller joins the MX-tools available on the PI respin! Some rough edges with the MX test repo, but all in all its a great option for package installation on the Pi.

Also notice that the conflict preventing Date & Time from installing has been resolved.

For our new Pi users: the very fast Package Installer includes on separate tabs Popular Applications, Debian Stable, MX Test Repo, Debian Backports and Flatpaks.

mx-dockmaker beta is now in the repos for use with MX Fluxbox. It allows the user to easily create, edit, move or delete a dock.

Full Help file for first-time users. Feedback thread:

Sometimes we're a little slow. We just figured out that you can get a feed from the Forum. The URL is just this:

It can be used inside Thunderbird, for instance, or any dedicated feed
reader. Image is for Thunderbird.

Yes, it's the update that contains the sandbox option for the first time.

Having trouble with apps that require some kind of sandbox?

Debian kernels turn those off by default, but mx-tweak has a toggle to turn them on.

And here's the fluxbox desktop
New desktop.

Going through final checklist for public testing of MX-Fluxbox 2.0 beta, which should be available by Feb 1 on the Forum.

New version features two powerful new tools, so testing should be really interesting!

Good to see!

We're in the midst of developing MX-19 now for release this Fall.
