[QUOTE="rootyme, post: 2520982, member: 90940"] Well, 32 bit support is one of the major pros but not the only. 1. MX Linux comes with a lot of handy tools out of the box. You'd understand once you try it. There us GUI for everything and you barely ever need to use the terminal. Can feel great for newbies. 2. MX Linux is built on top of Debian stable base unlike XUbuntu which is based on Ubuntu Stable. This means there is no Snap trouble to deal with. Snap is the last thing you want on a persistent install. I personally avoid Snap at all costs. 3. MX Linux software manager is a joy to use. OP does not really wish to go through the hassle of upgrading his internals. As for 64 bit support, yes, it does support 64 but not without issues, if I am not wrong. Relevant reading: 1.
