The MX Linux team has officially released MX Linux 25 “Infinity”, the next major version of the popular Debian-based distribution, now built on Debian 13 “Trixie”.

The new version ships in several editions—Xfce, KDE Plasma, and Fluxbox—each updated to their latest stable versions. The release includes Xfce 4.20, Plasma 6.3.6, and Fluxbox 1.3.7.

Most ISO images come with the Linux kernel 6.12 LTS from Debian’s stable repositories, while the AHS (Advanced Hardware Support) variants feature the 6.16 Liquorix kernel for better performance on newer hardware.

The major change is that all releases now include systemd by default, although SysVinit variants of the Xfce and Fluxbox editions are still available for users who prefer the traditional init system. According to developers, this will improve compatibility and simplify future maintenance.

systemd

Looks like it's already time to move away from MX Linux. That sucks. Whole Linux ecosystem back to getting worse instead of better?

@iloveDigit @cm0002 you can decide the systemd free version.

Then I get half of a not-top-2 distro. And even the "giants" (Ubuntu / Fedora) are too small to develop full stability for their half-distros. Bad situation
