The release of MX Linux distribution 19

The developers have released a fresh release of the lightweight MX Linux distribution 19. New based on Debian, and also “flavored” with improvements from the antiX and MEPIS projects. In addition to simplifying configuration and software installation, the system boasts a lightweight Xfce environment..

The distribution is available in 32- and 64-bit builds. The main changes concern the actualization of all software. Package base updated to Debian 10, there are also some packages from fresh antiX and MX repositories. The graphical shell has been updated to the Xfce version 4.14. But the kernel is used quite old. It's about the Linux version. 4.19. However, This is not surprising, Considering, that Debian is positioned as a stable release. However, no one bothers to put at least a beta of Linux 5.4.

The mx-installer got rid of the problem with auto-mounting partitions and partitioning the disk. A clock widget appeared on the desktop, also added the formatusb utility for formatting flash drives and bash-config for customizing the terminal design. And the mx-alerts package has also appeared, which implements sending urgent messages to users.

Of the little things, we note the update of the "live" assembly. There's a fallback X server boot mode, if graphic mode fails. And there's also a text splash added.. The mx-boot-repair bootloader repair utility has the ability to resume its work when used on encrypted partitions. Well, finally, new branded wallpaper appeared.
