MX-Linux or antiX on Pinebook Pro? - chessie - 08-10-2019
Does anyone know of any activity, between either (any) of the parties--Pine, MX-Linux, antiX--to get antiX or MX-Linux ported to the Pinebook Pro?
Both are full-featured, lightweight distributions, and both get outstanding reviews by users and tech writers.
MX-Linux has been #1 on Distrowatch for over one year, at one point having a ranking of over 6000, and has one of the highest Reader Rating of any distribution listed on Distrowatch. MX-Linux download size is ≈ 1400 MB, and antiX is ≈ 900 MB (for the largest version).
My personal opinion is that both of these would be an outstanding 'fit' for the PBP, based on their small size and full functionality.

I would also be interested in playing with MX-Linux

Do either of you know a MX-Linux dev? if yes, have them reach out to us.

None of these distros runs on ARM.

I've contacted MX; antiX.

Very true. Neither *did* (I don't think) KDE Neon until it got ported to run on the PBP (I think) by Jonathan Riddell (he *may* have had an ARM port already in the works).
That's why I've contacted MX-Linux / antiX on behalf of Pine: to ask if they'd be interested in working with the Pine Group, and to request a PBP to aid in helping ALL of us. MX-Linux on the Pinebook Pro would be a win-win situation for everyone.

Just as a note, I did send this over to Dolphin with MX. Not sure if they will get to or not, but I passed the message on.
