MX Linux

A very stable implementation of Debian Buster, MX KDE is a relatively low resource OS, that works well on new and older hardware. Running "free -m" from the terminal or HTOP shows approx 600MB on start up. That's a lot less than Manjaro KDE at close to 1GB. What I really like about MX is it automates a lot of processes through its GUI. Things like making a USB with the OS on it, backing up the OS, throwing in some eye candy with a Conky and installing popular software are handled with ease. This is a low fuss OS, that's a solid choice for a beginner, removing the need for technical know how. Only downside for me is I would like to see a core edition minus a lot of the default software which I simply don't use. Its worth mentioning too that this is not a bleeding edge like Manjaro but uses mostly more stable, established packages. Not strictly a downside but for those who want to be on the cutting edge this is worth keeping in mind.

Great distro!

really like the distro on an old machine. using it for about 2 years happily.
