MX was born in 2014 from the MEPIS and AntiX communities once it was clear no more MEPIS releases were coming. It is still based on debian stable and there are XFCE, KDE, and Fluxbox versions. It is a middle weight distribution that runs well on older computers and simply flies on newer ones. It has many custom utilities including tools for easy remastering and tools that make it easy to run MX from a flash drive with persistent home and/or root file systems for those who don't want to install to a hard drive.
MX includes backports of newer packages and debian builds of wanted packages that are not yet in debian, as well as an array of custom MX utilities.
This server mirrors the current MX and antiX Repositories.
The preferred method of installing packages is by adding these repositories
For MX-19 deb https://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ buster main non-free
For MX-21 deb https://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ bullseye main non-free
to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and using the normal tools
(Synaptic, MX Package Installer, apt-get or aptitude).
You can add ahs to either of these to enable our Advanced Hardware Support repository with newer kernels and graphics stack packages required for newer hardware that debian stable doesn't support well OOTB.
The packages in the Testing repositories haven't been through as much testing as the packages in the main repository. Although the packagers believe them to be safe occasionally issues can arise. If you want to install a package in Testing add this repository
deb https://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/ buster test (Testing Repo for MX-19)
deb https://mxrepo.com/mepiscr/mx-test/ bullseye test
(Testing Repo for MX-21)
