MX Linux-Update
MXLinux 25 has plenty in store to please all types of users.
MXLinux 25 is on the horizon, and the developers have several tricks up their sleeves.
The first of those tricks is defaulting to Wayland for KDE's Plasma desktop. Given the stability of the Wayland/Plasma combo, this should come as no surprise. MXLinux will still include X11 sessions (to be used as a fallback), and the Xfce version has the experimental Wayland session disabled. As far as Fluxbox, it does not (and probably never will) support Wayland.
There is one big surprise, however. Previously, MXLinux shipped with both systemd and SysVinit on the same ISO (allowing the user to select which init system they want during installation). With MXLinux 25, the developers will be releasing two separate ISO images: one for systemd and one for SysVinit. What you get will depend on your choice of desktop environment.
If you go the Xfce, Fluxbox, or Plasma route, you get systemd. However, you also have the option of choosing SysVinit if you opt for Xfce or Fluxbox. This is done for maximum compatibility for each desktop environment. That's a big change for a distribution that previously claimed to be "mostly systemd-free."
MXLinux 25 is also adding basic Secure Boot support to its installer, but it's limited to standard releases that use Debian’s signed kernels and 64-bit UEFI systems.
Finally, because Debian is dropping 32-bit support, MXLinux is following suit.
You can read more details in the MXLinux 25 official announcement.
