AntiX and LegacyOS Update

MX Linux is based on AntiX which is pretty good but LegacyOS ruined my GRUB boot loader. However SmtiC fell short of ruining my boot loader. LegacyOS cannot configure EFI. In fact, it tried to format it with Ext4 partition. That is when it ruined my boot loader. I have never ruined my boot loader. This is the first time.
Problem is they use version 5--- kernel. AntiX however has both legacy and modern kernels.
I have tested them on Box Utility.
The old nostalgia made me to revisit them.
This is I am doing with Xandros to Caldera to all Puppy Linux derivatives. 
Legacy comes from TeenPup and has not learned Debian basic.
That is it's problem.
DO NOT USE even on a  Live Session.
It is absolute waste of time.
It cannot make a persistent system like puppy Linux does.
I have almost recovered my System using Debian Gnome.
Good Bye to AntiX and LegacyOS.
The bottom line is do not use buggy old kernels.
It is TRUE for Testing (13) kernels they are short of O.E.M Codes.

There are several cardinal points Linux user if one is newbie should address.

1. Number one is Security.
One should never use a Linux System with administrative privilege unless it is vital. It allows the cyber guy to the whole file system.
Giving A user name and temporary password is the only thing one should do with administrative permission. 
The rest can be done with a user account and temporarily obtaining administrative password for vital system processes.

2. Number two is Internet connection and WiFi permission.

3. Number three is a solid GRUB Utility with one can mount multiple instances of Linux.

4. Third is probably Window Environment. 
I find it difficult understand why guys and girls are fixed to one desktop environment and hate others which are simple and fast.
To me KDE is a PAIN and resource hungry and very very SLOW. I have late tested few of them including Neptune and Debian KDE.
I begin to love Debian KDE and hate others.
Simply because of slowness and lack of applications without Synaptic Package Manager.
I have found a solution for this I use only Debian Desktops from Mate to Cinnamon to Budgie. There are no compatibility issues when I do that.
I begin to hate FlatPac because of sandboxing and duplicating same application.
This even happens with Transnsiion Torrent.
One application and it's relevant libraries that matter not sandboxing them.
Libraries are meant to be shared.

5. Number five for me compatibility of individual distributions. 
They seem to be competing with each other.

AntiX and LegacyOS fail in all the ABOVE.
It does not have a Future.
