For me, it’s MX Linux. Everything works, you find what you need within an instant. Running it on around 10 computers. Sometimes there were issues with the wifi-finder, which got solved with the AHS version, sometimes there was a problem with the installer (formatting stopped at the famous 12%), whereas others Win11, Fedora 38, Linux Mint, etc. worked just fine.

This problem has abated with the new MX-23 (now in beta 2) it seems. But once it’s set up you wouldn’t want anything else, really!

In reply to Bob. This is the exact experience I've had. Many things I've had to manually tweak or use scripts for are already included. The mundane stuff, like the clipboard in virt-manager for example.

Initially, I wasn’t too impressed when installing MX Linux. I found the interface convoluted, clunky, and confusing, but after using MX and tweaking MX over time I’ve come to love it more and more. The tooling is really great out of the box, usually, it takes me months eventually find things and installing as I need them, but I find that nearly everything I look for when I need it is already there in MX.

When one buys a car. you are not concerned with the hp/wt ratio or torque on the engine bolts. One simply wants a vehicle to work when you push the button.

Seems, however, that we abandon this thought process when it comes to Linux OS. We want to kick the tires and roll the windows up and down like a used car when our main concern should be, does it work?

MX 21 wildflower does this right out of the box, with an intuitive interface and excellent performance.

Geeks can keep looking under the hood, but I want something that works, now I have it.
