    MX Linux MX-21 KDE - Now, here's a verily splendid distro

    Luck is a combination of two factors: probability and time. Case in point, my foray with MX Linux MX-21 KDE. As you well know, I'm a great fan of this small yet feisty distro. So far, I've mostly tested (and liked) the Xfce flavors. My one quick brush with its KDE build was largely unsuccessful. In fact, with the release of MX-21 Wildflower, I wasn't even thinking of testing the KDE version.

    [08:12] schestowitz

    But then, as luck would have it, the official download page didn't have the Xfce release available for my Lenovo IdeaPad box. To be able to run on modern systems with UEFI, AMD Ryzen processors and NVMe, you need the AHS release - I discovered this with MX-19.3. However, at the time of writing, or rather testing, there was only the regular Xfce edition sans modern stuff, the Xfce AHS in almost-but-not-quite Release Candidate (4), [08:12] schestowitz and the KDE version, with all the right bits in place! So I thought, let's go for it.

[08:55] schestowitz Banning/censoring some volunteers appears to be incompatible with the diversity statement. Does Debian really care about diversity or is it just more diversitywashing? [08:55] schestowitz Next time I attend a Debian event or join a Debian booth at an event like FOSDEM, I may well wear a t-shirt carrying the opening line of the diversity statement.

    EDITED TO ADD: Its actually worse than I thought. Edge urges users to store passwords, ID numbers, and even passport numbers, all of which get uploaded to Microsoft by default when synch is enabled.
