This week's donation went to the MX Linux project. It's a Linux distro based off Debian which gives the user a choice in init system between Sysvinit and SystemD as both are installed. You can download your choice of editions which use XFCE, KDE or Fluxbox as well as install other desktop environments after install. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA and uses the liquorix kernel by default. It uses the Ext file system by default. The latest release is called Libretto which is based off Debian 12 but has several enhancements and newer versions of certain packages if you use the "ahs" version. Overall it is a great option if one wants a distro giving them more freedom of choice.



The project's main website is here:

The project has a forum and a presence on the fediverse:
