Compare Mint with MX

[Aristarchus]

If you want a secure OS disconnect the internet and lock it in a safe and dump it in the deepest spot in the ocean covered in concrete.

I wonder if you understand really what you have written
I doubt also that you understand my post. I thought that this was pretty simple. Evidently I was wrong.

Those who made it know how it works.

I have both, and a dedicated SSD for each. Rate them as equal. I do prefer the KDE desktop, and it is not available for Linux Mint.(without compatibility problems on my system)

Hello @james holmes
Welcome to the Linux.org forum.
I've used both and they are both good in their own right. But like @Pony prefer KDE desktop and Mint dropped it several releases ago. Though it can be installed it not supported on Mint so I choose MX for that reason only. Mint is a very good Distro and you won't go wrong with it. As well as Mx it's good too They just do thing a little different. Try them both and maybe some other too and choose the one that works best for you. Good Luck.

Can anyone who has experienced both give a comparison?

Both or at the top of the best. Through many years of using both, I find MXLinux is the best. After reading some of the other comments, I see that they didn't have much experience, if any, of the MXLinux. Some of the complaints against MXLinux is actually one of the many strong points.
Again, both or great, but I would have to recommend MX above all of the other Linux Distros, and I have tried almost all!
