Any thoughts on MX Linux? Is it better or worse than Ubuntu for everyday tasks?

Been using Trisquel (FSF approved because it has Linux-libre kernel with no binary blobs) on newer hardware & AntiX Linux on older laptops that won’t run Trisquel. Really like AntiX’s motto/slogan: "Proudly anti-fascist “antiX Magic” in an environment suitable for old and new computers. " https://antixlinux.com/

If you haven’t used Linux before, I’d recommend any Debian-based distro oriented at beginners. That includes Mint, Pop!, Ubuntu, and others. They’re all good enough that you might as well pick based on whichever one has your favorite default desktop background.

Arch or arch derivative. Rocky linux for servers. Arch with the extra features of like manjaro or something is pretty much the best way to go if you do a lot to your computer. It has the advantage of being dead simple to learn about and modify. Rocky is basically just centos 2
