I’m using MX Linux AHS for yyyeeeaaaarrrssss as my daily desktop for personal use and work development.
It is based on Debian, systemd optionnal, packages always up to date, no flatpak, I only use .deb
What I like is it simply works. From USB install using LUKS/btrfs without messing anything, to using Xfce with minimal GUI, everything works, no drivers problem, etc.
Yes MX Linux is awesome.
My minimal desktop, no icons, just a bar at the bottom with menu/applications/system tray icons
I’m all for human artists, but this AI witch hunt really destroys the conversation which is very far from “flexing AI”. Same occurs all over Lemmy, suppressing people from even sharing anything.
I’ve also seen that very background at least several years ago.
I have no hard evidence but I’m seeing a lot of signs that this is at least partially made with generative ai.
Lots and lots of subtly strange/incorrect details that an artist of this skill level who was taking the time to create by hand would have avoided.
It feels like there is a disconnect between the talent/work put into technical side and the lack of ability I’m seeing in the composition/anatomy side.
Possibly a coincidence, but the anatomy and composition problems im seeing are the same types of problems I see a lot in ai art.
Just what I’m seeing here. Not trying to witch hunt. I could be totally wrong. Maybe this was made years before ai? Just struck me as AI off the bat and after looking closer at it, it feels even more like AI.
If I’m provably wrong about this then I apologize for the accusation.
Edit: looking again I’m 1000% sure this is ai slop lol
I installed MX a bit over a year ago when my patience with ubuntu finally ran out. It’s great, running with plasma 5 on a pretty old laptop. Up to date repo mostly accounts for the stable-but-slow debian repos.
One of the biggest plus points is the community forums - active, engaged, and helpful, far more so than I’ve experienced in many other distro communities.
Can recommend.
For instance whenever there is a new Firefox, it takes a few hours or max a day to have the new .deb, and you have access to test repo and backport ; if needed flatpaks and snap but I never used them.
It’s not a rolling release, I updated from MX18 to 21 23 25, but pretty easily.
OK for a non rolling release such updates are usually only for a few selected packages. AFAIK Ubuntu did something similar years ago. But most likely you are still on older kernels and drivers and 80% of everything else.
It’s not necessarily a bad thing, because the idea is to minimize breakage. But I think your claim “up to date packages” is overstating it.

Never really used desktop icons, they never look quite right and pristine desktop is always nicer to look at.
Looking good, and honestly, I barely ever heard bad things about MX.
Weird AI wallpaper flex but ok
Edit: See my comment below. I’m absolutely sure this is AI.

This is absolutely, undoubtedly, bonified ai slop. I would bet any amount on this.
The fact that you saw it a few years ago checks out. The models are honestly better than this now.
It’s really not a witch hunt when it’s so obvious. People are just sick of it. I’m sick of seeing it.
My assumption is that the original commenter knew this was AI Slop but I guess they didn’t. So no hard feelings but slop is slop.
Edit: it’s honestly somewhat alarming to me that people can set this as their wallpaper and still not notice the obvious body horror on display.
No it’s made by a human artist

Wow ok yeah this looks like AI generated, damn, years ago, maybe AI assisted back in the days? Anyway, it is a cool desktop
I mean, who cares, really, it’s your desktop, after all
Absolutely 😁
Lol, defeated by the hand test. Look at her knuckles.
So many very obvious signs tbh. Pretty much everything about it.

What? Last I checked it wasn’t a rolling release, so how are packages up to date?
For instance whenever there is a new Firefox, it takes a few hours or max a day to have the new .deb, and you have access to test repo and backport ; if needed flatpaks and snap but I never used them.
