I finally found https://rsync-mxlinux.org/mirmon/index.html rsync-mxlinux.org took about an hour. The home page send you off to SourceForge and that's useless.

I don't know how much tweaking MX does but it's better looking than I usually think of Xfce as. The Debian Bullseye version was sort of plain but I never did any configuration. I had Lubuntu on the netbook before playing with Mint. LXQt was okay. LXDE is semi-dead. Anyway it's a contender for replacing Ubuntu as it chases AI. The Firefox on MX is newer than the Ubuntu one and when I did a search it said 'thinking...' That doesn't bode well.
