Let us explore what’s new with MX Linux 21 “Wildflower”. + +### MX Linux 21 Key Highlights + +![][3] + +MX Linux 21 is based on Debian 11 “Bullseye” running Linux Kernel 5.10LTS, and with the new update, you can find some new applications and upgrades to the current list. + +![][4] + +The “Wildflower” series included a new edition with **Fluxbox 1.3.7**, which will bring older computers back to life. In case you did not know, Fluxbox is a window manager that works seamlessly on high-end computers but is light on resources. + +For the installer, there is a new partition selection area. It comes with support for LVM(Logical Volume Manager). + +![MX Linux 21 has a neat graphical installer.][3] + +When booting your system, whether you are going with live boot or persistence, you can choose using the updated UEFI live system boot menu instead of the older console menus. + +For desktop environments, Xfce 4.16 and KDE Plasma 5.20 are the latest versions available. + +However, the Xfce edition is not yet available. + +A new handy utility that is presented is using the admin’s password by default for administrative tasks. However, you can turn it off if you do not need it. + +### Other Improvements + + * The installer and live system have been updated to the latest versions. + * Most of the translation functionality is still in progress. On the other hand, some parts of the translation are working flawlessly. + * The default package set now includes the [Mesa Vulkan][5] drivers. + * There is better support for Wifi for some Realtek hardware. + * The Debian security repository is enabled by default. + * Xfce has seen some improvements. One of which is an added samba shares plugin for the Thunar file manager. + * KDE has seen a fix regarding its file manager Dolphin. + + + +![][3] + +### Summing Up + +MX Linux 21 is currently the latest stable release. It is more elegant and more performant, so it is becoming more popular as a daily driver. + +Even though MX Linux is a relatively new Linux/GNU distribution compared to other popular options, it has a lot of potential for providing a complete operating system backed by Debian, the MX repository, and [antiX Linux][6]. + +You can refer to the [official announcement][7] for more details. + +[Download MX Linux 21][8] + +What do you think of this release?
