It has its uses. If you are a gamer, stick with windows though. Linux distros are generally more customizable and thats why ppl like it. You could install an OS specifically for being a media center or cracking passwords or programming. Oh alright, Windows is for me then., direct X (And gaming in general). Better performance on “bad/old” PCs.
The next thing we wanted the answer to was, why do people use Linux instead of Windows?
Genuinely wondering, don’t know a lot about Linux other than it’s what we used in middle school. At the end of the day, the Linux community wants to make software, and Microsoft wants to make money. When those goals are opposed, Linux becomes the better choice. I love this, such a simple analogy and so true.
Here is what I found. There are many uses to Linux, and there are many pros and cons. Linux, for a “basic” idea, is a kernel (the software that controls hardware and allows software to run), and is layered with applications from the GNU project to form a basic, genuinely-free, Unix-like OS. This is will be a barebones, command-line driven base for everything else.
The 2 certainly cater to generally different aesthetics.. You can’t really match linux’s beautiful pixel perfect console programs with windows, but in terms of polished fancier window decorations windows just has a better selection And what happens when I open up Firefox or Thunderbird or Pidgin, etc?
Why do so many people use MX-Linux?
PS mx-linux and antix linux are popular for people with older, low end, less powerful computer systems because the are light weight on the resources used. Last edited by DAMIEN1307 on Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:17 pm, edited 1 time in total.
A inquiry we ran across in our research was “Why is mx linux so popular?”.
It’s popular because it makes Debian more user friendly for beginning to intermediate (Not so much “non technical”) Linux users. It has newer packages from Debian backports repos; vanilla Debian uses older packages. MX users also benefit from custom tools which are great time savers. Is MX Linux the best?
What is MX Linux all about?
At the same time, any long-time Linux user could log in and immediately start tweaking the desktop to make it perfectly fit their typical workflow. That’s what MX Linux is all about, and part of the reason why it’s become the most downloaded Linux distribution on Distrowatch.
Welcome to the MX Linux Reddit. MX Linux is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian Linux. MX is a cooperative venture between the anti. X and former MEPIS communities, using the best tools and talents from each distro.

Is the MX Linux DistroWatch link fake?
It is therefore not linked to the number of real users, but rather to the number of curious who probably clicked the MX Linux link because it’s at the top of the list (a vicious circle). No, it’s not fake. But it’s not the popularity of the MX Linux distro. It’s rather the popularity of the MX Linux’s webpage on Distro, and watch.
What do you think about MX Tools?
The MX Tools are all very user-friendly and work exactly as expected. Take all of this together and you have a Linux distribution that transcends Linux to become a desktop operating system for everyone–that should be the goal of every Linux desktop developer.
