MX Linux

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.[2] The development of MX Linux is a collaborative effort 
between the antiX and former MEPIS communities. The MX 'name' comes from 
the M for MEPIS and the X from antiX - an acknowledgment of their roots. 
The community's stated goal is to produce "a family of operating systems 
that are designed to combine elegant and efficient desktops with high 
stability and solid performance".

MX Linux uses Xfce as main desktop environment, to which it adds a 
freestanding KDE Plasma version and, in 2021, a standalone Fluxbox 
implementation. Other environments can be added or are available as 
"spin-off" ISO images.

I suppose MX has its own communication channels. Mail list, web forum?

There are always questions that are peculiar to each distribution. 
Installation questions, possible bugs...
