You're currently using MX Linux and excited about the challenge with Linux and Luke. It's great you're considering your options! For a recommendation, think about what matters most to you—stability, community support, or specific features. If you value a lightweight environment with strong security, MX Linux remains a solid choice. If you're open to exploring alternatives, consider distributions like Arch or Fedora for their versatility and active communities. Let your needs guide the decision!

I responded to the discussion but also want to revisit Linux to keep up with Linus and Luke. I last used Ubuntu in 2019 and about two months ago switched back to Windows. Right now, my preferred choices are Pop, Fedora, and Ubuntu—mostly leaning toward Pop. It really depends on your needs and past experiences. I’m not familiar with MX Linux.

Thanks for your reply. Here are the details about your computer: it’s quite old, but you mainly use WPS Office and play city-building or civilization-style games. Many games work well on Linux via Wine, though they tend to be slower. Some distributions might struggle with these low specs.

I ran MX Linux and it works great. After using Solus for a while, I started exploring different distributions again. I’ve recorded my thoughts on Substack, and the latest update is a compilation of three articles I wrote before joining the Substack account.

I’ll definitely check out your articles. How long have you been using MX Linux? And do you think Solus is a good fit for the specs you have on your computer?

Unless you have a reason to switch or you just like distro-hopping, I'd stick with MX Linux if it's what you're familiar with. The differences between Linux distros are usually pretty minimal and what you can do in one distro you can normally do in most others. That being said, if you do want to switch then Pop!_OS or Linux Mint would be my two suggestions since they're since the same tree as MX Linux (based on Debian). OR OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you really want to go nuts and want to tinker with something new

You're welcome on the advice. I believe staying with the same distribution is a good idea, but I might experiment with different skins or environments later. Perhaps when I have more time, I'll explore OpenSUSE.
