From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In what way?
For one it does everything custom compared to stock
It isn't bad for a rescue system or a custom USB but I would not daily drive it and I would not recommend it over Linux Mint or Fedora
I daily drive it just fine and I don’t really think your opinion is well informed. It sounds like you had trouble with some part of it and now you’ve written it off completely. But the numbers don’t lie- it’s a very popular distro and very stable.
I also don't want a system with tons of junk installed. MX has to many tools to be useful and most of them aren't even the best for the job not to mention its lack of systemd by default kind of sucks.
I really don't get why it is better than Debian with xfce4
Dude it’s a very minor change to grub to get it to run systemd by default. You’re just complaining for the sake of complaining
