MX Linux Summary

MX Linux uses a combination of official Debian stable and antiX repositories in addition to their own repositories for keeping components current. MX Linux releases once per year and its versions are named based upon the year (MX-18 was released December 20, 2018).


Systemd is included by default but not enabled. No official support will be provided for users who choose to run MX Linux using systemd (see MX Users Manual for additional information).

Warnings / Notes

There are no official TDE packages available for MX Linux. Per MX Linux forums, TDE has been installed sporadically on MX Linux back to ~2015. You can still install TDE in your computer in one of the following ways.

Use official TDE packages for Debian. Modify the instructions available at this page with the below and use the corresponding Debian version as noted here.
