      Not OP, but I’m really enjoying it because it’s light and stable, and the set of MX tools it comes with are great. Their backup tool is so good that as my old laptop started to die I was easily able to transfer my entire setup to a totally different computer and pick up exactly where I’d left off

        you must have read my mind because this is exactly why i’m on the market for a new distro. lol

        i put fedora on my laptop w the intention that it’ll be temporary so that i’ll have something i can trust right now and knowing full well that fedora iterates quickly. their migration tool has never worked for me and now i have to update again. i’m looking for something that has a longer term iteration like debian has, but shorter than debian.

      It’s super light. Unlike Fedora or other distros I’ve tried, it doesn’t play weird with my mobile hotspot.
