Ahhh, OK. Yes, I also use XFCE and dislike anything else after all
these years.

Excellent. 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!
