Published release of a lightweight distribution MX Linux 25.1, created as a result of the joint work of communities formed around the antiX and MEPIS. The release is based on the Debian package base with improvements from the antiX project and packages from its own repository. The distribution has a choice of using sysVinit and systemd initialization systems. In-house tools are supplied for configuring and deploying the system. 64-bit builds (x86_64) with Xfce desktop (2.8 GB) are available for download Xfce (2.8 GB), and builds with the KDE desktop (3.3 GB) and builds (2.3 GB) with the Fluxbox window manager.
In the new release:
- Synchronization with the Debian 13.3 package database has been completed. The Linux kernel has been updated to version 6.12.
- Updated builds with advanced hardware support (AHS), which come with Xfce, kernel 6.18 with patches from the project liquorix and Mesa 25.3.3.
- The formation of combined iso images has been resumed, in which the systemd and sysVinit initialization systems are available to choose from. In Live builds, the user can select the desired initialization system in the boot menu.
