That may not be a good indication of how many people actually use it. (Note: I know one person who does use MX.)

I could understand some exceptions, but the "number one on DistroWatch" thing just seems like a meme.

Also, isn't Systemd now included to some extent (source)?

Nonetheless, I appreciate the efforts of people like Steven Pusser who port and maintain packages not currently supported by Debian upstream.

systemd has always been available in MX:

I'm not a fan of the forum administrators but the developers seem to do a pretty good job catering for GUI-loving n00bs.

By switching to Ceres. Way better and no less stable than Beowulf on a good day. Chimaera did give me problems, though. Perhaps the reality is LTS-based systems generally suck and rolling releases are the way to go. I like not having to worry about doing another major system upgrade ever again.

The OP is wise to move on from that crapfest.

It's just a newbie's first distro that can then be used to level up to something else when it's time. What Ubuntu should've been (at the very least) and not nearly as much of a joke as Pop!_OS or the "popular" MX GNU/Linux.

You removed the security repositories? Not sure that's wise... [/joke]

@OP: good choice.

I moved over to Devuan and "Mintified" it to the point where I don't even look back now.

I had a similar experience switching my 32bit netbook from Fedora to Devuan with an LXQt desktop.  Which desktop and Window manager are you using?
