MX is great. The MX tools are very useful and Sysvinit isn’t as difficult to use as I had assumed. It runs great on an old thinkpad of mine. Seems like a very viable option for people looking to self-host on older gear.

I put LMDE on my partner’s old surfacebook and installed the surface kernel. It runs smoother than windows ever did, battery life improved too, full touchscreen. Though I did install fedora prior to LMDE and the touchscreen functionality may have been better with that, but the system was slower overall.

IMO, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awfully high good band/dumb name differential

I love that! Is that XFCE?
