Now, MX Linux has announced the release of another edition called MX Linux 21 AHS, where the ‘AHS’ stands for ‘Advanced Hardware Support’ meaning it includes newer graphics stack tailored for modern systems.
MX Linux AHS edition comes with the Xfce desktop environment by default, which guarantees smoother experience, as the Xfce desktop environment already has some significant improvements with the main MX Linux 21 release.
What’s New in MX Linux 21 AHS Edition?
MX Linux 21 AHS comes with Linux Kernel 5.14 and updated open-source graphics stack tailored for modern system.
It includes updated mesa, xorg and vulkan drivers for a graphic stack more inline with newer hardware, also with a few recompiled apps that utilize the later kernel. And MX Linux AHS will receive updates for the graphics stack over time, therefore those that do not need the newer graphics stack, don't have to use AHS.
Additionally, all users of the mainline MX releases can enable the ahs repository through mx-repo-manager to do regular updates, while keeping your 5.10 kernel, albeit you’ll have to get the later mesa, xorg and vulkan drivers.
How to Download and Install MX-21 “AHS” Edition?
.MX Linux 21 AHS iso is now available for download, either as a direct download or you can choose to get the torrent files.
But note that there is a known issue for older systems, particularly with intel-based graphics, with suspend-to-ram, or at least resuming after suspend. If that feature is important to you and your PC can otherwise use the 5.10 kernel from the main releases, then stick with the main releases.
