MX Linux has been my distribution of choice for the past couple of years now. I happened upon it after noticing it was listed as it's #1 downloaded distro on distrowatch.com and I now use it on most of my home/work machines and it has been a dream to work with. As MX Linux on mxlinux.org itself describes on it's main page: "It is a midweight desktop environment that aims to be fast and low-resource, while still being attractive and user-friendly." The Open Source Post website fosspost.org has now named it "The Best Linux Distribution Of 2021" in summary: "Combining hardware support, low resources consumption and huge number of utility apps and deep functionality options… It all creates a wonderful Linux distribution for the average user. MX Linux 21 is one of the best Linux distributions out there to try, and we recommend any new user thinking of switching to Linux from Windows to test it out."
I like MX Linux because it is so easy to install and use on even somewhat older hardware (like that I tend to have floating around my office these days), looks and works great and fulfills 99.9% of my computing needs [once had to open an proprietary fillable PDF on an old Windows 10 laptop before saving it as a "real" opensource PDF document - curses to those inflexible Alberta Government vogons who foist these silly unreadable files upon us]. I have MX Linux installed here it on laptops, desktops, servers, and stand alone media devices and it is a joy to work with.
IF you are wondering what to do with your aging Windows 7-10 systems as Microsoft moves to stop supporting you, I recommend you consider trying it out. The MX Live USB installs temporarily for you to test out and when you are ready use that to install itself for you.
