    MX Linux is simple and just works. The XFCE version is pretty light and snappy and the utilities, which it shares with AntiX, just work.

    I’m a newbie at Linux, because my personal, very old 2012 computer just can’t work Windows 7…Windows was eating up all resources. I got MX Linux in a USB (2.0) and it just runs in that old hardware.

    Ended up switching to AntiX, because it manages memory even better (runs with as little as 256 MB of RAM) and it recognized everything. AntiX is like installing Debian with a bit of utilities loaded. If you add the FT10/Tint2 bar, it feels as if you have a Desktop Manager, instead of a Windows Manager.

    My 4GB RAM, old AMD64, Radeon computer, with an old rotational Hard Drive, just goes. Starts faster than my Laptop computer with 32GB RAM, Intel I7 with an SDD and it just has a good feeling about it.

    MX Linux on a USB and persistence is working on any other computer I have. And you can focus on the important stuff: using your computer, instead of messing around with the setup constantly.

    These renderings are so amazing and accurate.

    I spent a lot of time at Templo Mayor, and I always wondered how things would have looked like. This is how getting in a Time Machine and traveling to the past must feel like.

    Every time I traveled to Mexico City from Veracruz, I wondered how it must have been for the first Spaniards to encounter such a city for the first time. Now I know.

    Absolutely mesmerizing. And the overlays with the city finally helped me understand how the city could have grown on top of the lake.

    Thanks for posting!
