MX Linux 21 release candidate KDE Plasma Edition Is Now Available.
♞ Coming up on 9TO5Linux ♞
The MX Linux development team has announced the release of the MX Linux 21 RC. Check out
the news and find out where to download the distro.
MX Linux, a desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on the “stable” branch of Debian,
is a cooperative venture between the antiX and ex-MEPIS Linux communities.
Using Xfce as the default desktop, it's a mid-weight operating system designed to combine
an elegant and efficient desktop with simple setup, high stability, solid performance and
medium size.
The MX Linux developers have now announced the general availability of the MX Linux 21
RC edition for public beta testing as the project's first complete standalone Fluxbox
edition.
What's New in MX Linux 21 RC
Coming exactly a month after the second beta release, MX Linux 21 Release Candidate is
here with some minor changes, several bugfixes and updated translations, as well as updated
components and latest security patches from the Debian 11 Bullseye software repositories.
MX Linux 21 Release Candidate adds “thick” variants of the xfwm4 mx-comfort themes in
the main Xfce edition and adds new mx-comfort color schemes as part of the global MX themes
for the KDE Plasma edition, which also received several improvements to the settings pattern.
On the other hand, the new edition of Fluxbox comes with new mx-comfort styles for Fluxbox's
window manager and the ability to automatically update menus during package installation so
you can find your newly installed software without having to exit of the session.
The MX Linux team told the 9to5Linux website that they have worked hard over the past few
weeks to eliminate as many bugs as possible so that the final release of MX Linux 21 “Wildflower”
could see the light of day earlier than initially planned, which should happen until the end
of the month.
However, if more bugs are found during the first Release Candidate test, a second RC
can be created in the next few days for some extra testing.
If you want to help MX Linux developers deliver a bug free version, go ahead and download
the first MX Linux 21 RC with your favorite flavor, Xfce, KDE Plasma or Fluxbox.
