MX Linux is a Linux distribution based on Debian stable and using core antiX components, with additional software created or packaged by the MX community.

One of Linux’s greatest strengths is its versatility and compatibility across a wide range of hardware. It can run on nearly any device available on the market today, including Macs, Chromebooks, Windows-based laptops and desktops, tablets, and even some smartphones. Unlike many operating systems, Linux is not limited to a specific set of manufacturers or devices. In fact, Linux has been successfully installed on unconventional platforms such as gaming consoles—including the PlayStation, Xbox, and even the Nintendo Wii. 

This wide compatibility is just one of the many advantages of Linux. It's known for its stability, security, and customizability. Whether you're a casual user, developer, or IT professional, Linux offers a flexible and powerful environment that can adapt to your needs.

 A key strength of MX Linux is the extensive range of software available immediately after installation. Thanks to its Debian base, MX gives you access to a huge repository of packages, covering everything from everyday productivity apps to advanced development tools. On top of that, MX adds its own curated tools and an easy-to-use package installer, so you can pull in popular software, flatpaks, or backports without extra hassle. Whether you want gaming tools, multimedia apps, or sysadmin utilities, MX Linux makes it simple to find and install what you need from a massive software ecosystem.
