Recently, the MX Linux development team announced the release of the next version in the MX Linux 19 'Patito Feo' series. Also known as MX Linux 19.2, the new version is based on Debian Buster 10.4, and uses the new Xfce 4.14. According to the operating system development team, the main purpose of the new version is to optimize the system, as well as fix some bugs.
What does MX Linux 19.2 offer?
One of the biggest changes in the new version is the addition of the KDE Plasma desktop environment. From previous announcements it became known that the MX Linux team wants to add the KDE Plasma Desktop to the system. With the release of the new version, the availability of MX Linux 19.2 beta was also announced, which comes with KDE 5.14.5.
It is important to know that the new distribution also contains all the tools such as MX tools, antiX-live-usb-system and snapshot technology, and is only released in 64bit.
For many users, MX Linux is known as a lightweight operating system, thanks to its Xfce environment and Debian upstream. However, in order to be comfortable for the system, Xfce offers fewer features than other environments such as GNOME and KDE.
Fortunately, in MX Linux 19.2, the developers have taken a lot of care with the appearance of the operating system. The result is an even more modern and efficient Plasma desktop environment. In addition to improved appearance, the environment now contains new features that allow users to configure the workspace according to their needs.
Installation of the MX Linux 19.2 operating system:
If you want to try the new version, you will first need to download the installation files. However, we inform you that beta versions almost always contain bugs and vulnerabilities, so we recommend waiting for the stable version to be released. In case you download the operating system and encounter any problems while using it, you can report it here.
