MX-19.4 ISOs now available. Get the details here:

https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-19-4-now-available/

Updates for existing users will come through the regular apt update processes. Most updates are already in place.

Thanks to the intensive work of Sigi Vranšak there is now a new German translation of the Users Manual for MX-Linux 19.x. It will come through the standard upgrade process in the next couple of days.

Much appreciated!

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.

Want to help out in a very real way the next releases of MX and antiX?

Come help test new partitioning features in a dev build of our installer.

You can test with existing MX 19 live systems. The new installer is in the test repo.

We're updating the files in /etc/skel that control the creation of a new user's desktop to match new default.

MX-Fluxbox update this morning shows a lot of "warnings." The warnings just mean that a package doesn't control those files anymore, but the directories aren't empty so they aren't being deleted. Subsequent updates won't have them.

Corrected image and patch are now up, other documents updated. Annoying.

Pulled the image due to a conflict. Rebuilding now, apologies.

MX-Fluxbox Raspberry Pi respin is out! Details in the Blog.

Work on the RPi beta release is ongoing. We tested bluetooth, are looking at Palemoon as a possible default browser, have changed the login page--and lots more.

Know C and GTK? Want to help a great project?

Consider looking into issues with the next release of #xfceofficial.

There are lots of places to help, but if you need a suggestion, how about this one having to do with Qt popup notifications:

Xfce 4.16 pre 2 packages are available for testing.

MX forum users can find the info in the Application Development forum.

Fair warning...there will be issues, we've noted some, so be sure to read the whole post.
