It is an excellent distro from what I've seen, and what        you're seeing. I'm a longtime Slackware user, and honestly can't see        myself switching away from it, but lately I've gotten a little fed up        with how it's going, and this distro (MX) is the only one I've found        that makes me even wonder if it's a possible replacement. I use it on a        test/play laptop that I sometimes use while watching TV or something,        and am enjoying it quite a bit. Thanks for your feedback!                            ...
