Linux Mint and MX Linux are two of the hottest, two of the most popular Linux distributions today. They both have created their own, solid userbases of millions of people because of the things they offer.
MX Linux is a hyer powerful, performance driven system with one of the best toolings in an operating system I’ve seen yet. Honestly, this is a very powerful linux distro. It lets you do things that are not even possible on most other distros.
Linux Mint on the other hand, is known for a super polished, premium user experience. The desktop environment, the looks, the way of doing things here has been highly coveted and it’s that Linux Mint experience that has created such a loyal fan following for mint.
Both Mint and MX are top dogs in the linux scene. That’s for sure. But if you have to pick one which one should you go for?
To answer this, I installed both Mint and MX on my system and started my deep research. I compared all the aspects of these two distros like the performance, the software availability, user interfaces, stability, usability and a lot more.
And in this video, I’m gonna put it all in front of you, and we’ll finally see which of these two is the best, which of these two is more suitable for you. Linux Mint or MX Linux.

[@nordicbastard2328]

Been using MX on all my production machines since 2017. One very important point missed in the video is that the MX KDE edition is one of their "AHS" releases (advanced hardware support) -- which means that it gets updated kernels, firmware, mesa, etc so that MX can usually support the latest hardware. I just got my Framework laptop Ryzen upgrade motherboard, and using MX Snapshot, easily moved my MX23 KDE install (with 6.5 kernel) to the newly upgraded machine and everything works without a hitch - fingerprint reader, suspend, new AMD wireless, 7000series APU....it's been rock solid. Great video though!

[@escapetherace1943]

Mint is Ubuntu but better. MX is debian but better. EndeavorOS is Arch but way better. My 3 favorite distros

[@tambuchalinux]

My son's computer has: Windows, Mint and MX. My computer: MX, CachyOS, and a 3rd partition for distro sampling. If I had to choose one though, I would pick MX Linux. The MX tools are unmatched, and I personally feel in love with the MX snapshot tool that allows you to build your own ISO with all of your preferred apps installed by default.

[@LiveLife378]

Agreed mx tools, mx snapshot, and the easy ability to install software from mx package installer is hard to beat. MX-LINUX, Linux Mint, and Big Linux are my perfect trio. I usually seem to come back to Linux Mint, but now it has been Big Linux (Arch distribution).

[@CrescentRollCarl]

I actually just switched from Arch to MX. I have been on Arch for many years, but got tired of a very specific pipewire related bug that just kept cropping up. So far so good with MX. I actually really love XFCE. The performance is second to none.

[@cantdance3077]

Also using xfce on MX. KDE is great , too.

[@LiveLife378]

Yes MX tools, mx snapshot, and the easy ability to install software from mx package installer are hard to beat. MX-LINUX, Linux Mint, and Big Linux are my perfect trio. I usually seem to come back to Linux Mint, but now it has been Big Linux (Arch distribution). I still love MX linux mostly because of the all the innovative tools and simple package installer. It just works. Also you have access to all flatpaks and can use debian unstable if you really need to. Really Tuff and use depends on your needs. Glad I can virtualize them with in 1 distro.

[@egilslauters6656]

For Me all things different. After years on Debian ( Netrunner) , try on my 12 years old ACER laptop Mint... MX.... Fedora.....,but stop on Arch. Everything work and laptop not freeze. XFCE is good . Second better distro is Alien OS with Regolith DE...

[@TheAdrifebrianto]

I currently use both MX and Mint. MX at work, and Mint at home. With Cinnamon desktop, Mint is much better than MX. Better software center, easier Nvidia driver installation, less bloated softwares, better WINE support are among the reasons why I choose Mint over MX. To be frank, with Mint Cinnamon, I don't need Windows 11. Fortunately, Proton supports game titles that I play regularly.

[@knaightmare9598]

I have used Linux Mint for over 10yrs. Excellent operating system. Just repaired an old Pavilion g7-2269wm. Upgraded the cpu to a A-10 4600M and replaced the fan. Programed with Linux Mint 21.1 and its up and running. Total cost about $37.00.

[@TheNetRiper]

Installed MX 23 Xfce on my old laptop (2007). Initialy visual appeareance may be "the ugly Duckling" but if you put some effort it can become "a gorgeous swan". Installed legacy nvidia driver for GT8700m and no needed to worry for setings, MX tool did it for me. Another thing - managed to dual boot with X-lite 11. All was easy with no issues even for noob like me.

[@jerryscari7810]

I had used several Linux distributions and customized MX is my choice. It is solid and have most tools that I need.

[@lawrenceshadai4966]

A well thought through video. Long time Linux Mint user but MX does offer a lot. Like the coverage of tool sets the two have.

[@prajulsahu9838]

Linux Mint is the one, I have used alot, a lot. Now I'm curious to try MX Linux too.

[@johnlinley2702]

I have used both systems, although not in close comparison. Your review has honed my Linux sensitivity. After all these years, it is good practice. Thanks you.,

[@jorgeher8238]

Cumplo un año con Mx Linux, hasta el momento todo es estabilidad, no me ha causado ningún problema, funciona de maravilla, la recomiendo mucho.

[@cejannuzi]

For taking a somewhat old laptop and making a great Linux netbook, MX is one of the best. I think the lack of a software/app store program will discourage newbies.

[@davidwayne9982]

BOTH EXTREMELY good..... dual boot them - that way you can enjoy BOTH... but if I were forced to pick--- MX...

[@zparihar]

Fantastic video. Motivated me to try MX Linux

[@emvo10]

[@joegee2815]

I switched from Windows to Ubuntu about 15 years ago. Soon after I found Linux Mint and I've stayed with that. I keep trying different distros in a VM or on my laptop but keep going back to Mint. I have seen your videos on MX linux and have been considering switching but haven't made the move yet.

[@Masta_E]

Same, I used to distro hop but I keep coming back to Mint so I stopped hopping and stuck with Mint.

[@RiyoOffGrid-sw9pj]

I did it, don't do it. It's not at all what it says it is. LM has more features to make the workflow easy.

[@jakobw135]

Which hardware, (CPU and GPU), is recommended for your Linux box in order to run the OS most efficiently?

[@johanb.7869]

I tried them both, but settled on KDE Neon. Latest Plasma and very minimal which I prefer.

[@BaconAndPotatoCorp]

I really want to switch from windows but I have 3 monitors with different resolutions that require different scaling factors each. This can only be achieved with "fractional scaling", but the performance hit is HARD even though I'm on a fairly modern system. Until they resolve that issue, I'm unfortunately sticking to windows.

[@garyanderson1548]

Aesthetics win it for me, and Mint is always the one that I return to after experimenting with other distros.

[@dwbsovran]

Linux Mint is far more intuitive for Linux newbies and has that professional polish Window users like without the crashes. Linux Mint Cinnamon is the Premium point and click Linux distro and is extremely intuitive for those who switch from Windows. Moms and pops just love Linux Mint! Flawless!

[@jakobw135]

What do you think of Fedora Linux?

[@masterquan4891]

Switched to LMDE 6 Linux Mint Debian Edition, newer kernel with all the features and cinnomon desktop. Better range of hardware support as well.

[@unliyou]

When all distributions make it a standard to use the musl libc, it will be a huge difference in performance and memory footprint. For now, one have to DIY his desktop setup when using the musl libc instead of glibc as there is no distro out there that does it better out of the box than what linux mint and MX Linux have provided. All the glibc based distro - way too slow in terms of performance. If we really want better performance, it must be started from the ground up, at the foundation level of the compiled binary other than making programs more efficient. We have so much hardware power but we forget to optimize the software.

[@escapetherace1943]

Good video but you are comparing Mint Cinammon vs MX XFCE. It would be good to go over the supported out of box DE's for both distros, such as Mate and XFCE on Mint and KDE on MX. Because KDE on MX is honestly great

[@whothefoxcares]

Gloria mint well. All's well that ends with a swell.

[@chrispop99]

Mint loses out for me because it is Ubuntu-based. I also like that MX Linux doesn't use systemd as its init by default, whilst still allowing applications that need systemd to run.

[@CouldBeMathijs]

LMDE is great too, if you dislike Ubuntu, but I find it's always behind mainline Linux Mint, which is understandable it's the secondary base, but still, I wish it were updated faster with newer Cinnamon and Debian versions. I like Cinnamon more than xfce, so that might come in the equation....

Also, they include the great *xfce4-docklike-plugin* substitute for 'window buttons' but it is not yet in the Debian repos.

[@luckyluckydog123]

I tried linux MX but then switched to Linux Mint Mate, which is IMO better looking and runs well on low-powered systems. It is a shame that there does not seem to be a quantitative, standardized way to compare the performance (reactiveness) of windows managers. I think it'd be good to have a benchmark suite, similar to the old Winbench 99, that simulates opening/closing windows, running programs etc and clocks the time taken. Running the benchmark on the same hardware would provide a way to compare in an objective way to compare system performance.

[@Hjh913]

I use asus oled which is best linux disto mx or mint or manjaro

[@cameronbosch1213]

Personally, I wouldn't choose either of them. Linux Mint has basically become so stuck in the past to the point of missing out on many things most distros take for granted, like Wayland support (unless you use Nvidia GPUs, Wayland is 100% ready for use), better gaming support, and Mint 21.2 even uses an older kernel than Debian 12; not a good look for newer systems. Also, since Mint 19, I haven't used Mint because they dropped Plasma as one of their supported DEs with that release despite many in the community still wanting it back. Tuxedo OS or Feren OS are good picks for users that want KDE Plasma but want something similar to the former Linux Mint KDE flavor, while having newer kernel, feature, and hardware support.

[@guilherme5094]

👍

[@motoryzen]

Wayland is NOT anywhere near 70 percent ready for use let alone 100 percent. Not all scenarios work wirh it

[@cameronbosch1213]

@motoryzen It's not meant to be everything XOrg is. It's meant to be a leaner codebase without X and its baggage. It's literally just Nvidia holding back Wayland now. If you have an AMD or Intel GPU, it works well. And you literally have XWayland for XOrg applications. Wayland also being leaner means less maintenance for things that the DE maintainers could implement such as one to one touchpad gestures. XOrg has become impossible to maintain; as we have seen, almost all former X maintainers are now working on Wayland. TL;DR: Wayland does 97% of what people need for desktop use. The 3% it doesn't do is baggage that XWayland can do, and really the only reason to not use Wayland nowadays is Nvidia GPUs.

[@motoryzen]

@cameronbosch1213 if one can't game with it, and Some Content creation Software doesn't work with it. When you're talking about the dime. A dozen masses of people... ... Then what else is there other than basic PC usage such as email and browsing the Web and KZbin and trash book? So no, wailyn is not 100% ready. It's not even 75% ready yet. And some mushy's wine to run certain windows programs in Linux. Whyland has not proven itself a 100% consistently working well yet in that scenario.

[@cameronbosch1213]

@motoryzen But can XOrg even run displays at different refresh rates? No. Wayland can. Again, there's XWayland for those other cases Wayland isn't yet ready for. No wonder COSMIC and Budgie 11 will only support Wayland with XOrg support limited to XWayland. It works now, but it's not very maintainable for much longer.

[@jalpa9642]

Here is my input...... I've been using MX-Linux for probably 3 years now. I tried most of the Ubuntu, etc. flavors when I left Windows behind...then I found MX-Linux. Recently with my laptop setup as it is, w/two 1 TB Seagate 2.5" 5400 RPM HDD's, I've got MX-Linux on 1 HDD, and now I have LMDE on the other HDD.... I simply love MX-Linux and don't want to part with it, but I wanted something else for a new challenge. I tried many like Arch, Fedora, Mangaro, Kali, Zorin, and a few others..... but with my DELL Latitude E6540.... not all of those Distro's could even locate my WiFi card or a Wifi Dongle in the USB port....! They all found my Ethernet card but I don't run Ethernet...... I did not want to waste time installing Drivers for various components.....so I quit the installations and went looking for something else(another Distro). Linux LMDE showed up and out of all the other's I tried....w/out 1 flaw...! And I"m using the LVM fs...... Each 1 TB HDD has the full capacity of each Distro.... I run QGIS on MX-Linux and Mobile Atlas Creator on LMDE-Debian-12..... I make up MAPS for ATAK-CIV a Civilian product of ATAK for non-military Ops....

Still, yay does that. 20 years ago I was using tar a lot, so it's nice to have package managers like apt, pacman/yay, etc.

[@fennyfinari906]

I would have chosen Linux mint over MX Linux for the tools and usability aspect due to Linux mints ability to upgrade to newer versions without a complete reinstall of your system. This is my main reason for having previously lean towards rolling release distributions until Linux meant created a tool to upgrade systems without a reinstallation

[@Winaras79]

fedora for me, because it is the middle ground between rolling and point release. Six month point release with easy upgrade without the need to reinstall everything. Mint was my first choice distro and I loved it, but fedora offer newer kernel and package faster and it is important for a few thing that I do on my PC, gaming for example.

[@fennyfinari906]

I half to agree with you overall, but this wasnt quite in the debate previously mentioned xD Fedora seems to be a lot more performant than mint with window management even using the same DE. I want to like mint so much, but for some reason doesnt pair well with my system. Even upgrading kernels to match fedoras did no justice. @@Winaras79

Linux Mint for me. I don't know why but I just don't like MX and I don't have a reason. Perhaps it's the look and feel. It's not buggy or anything like that I just don't like it. That's why I love Linux you are never stuck in an ecosystem you don't enjoy.
