MX Make is a developer-oriented Operating System that comes pre-loaded with development tools and is optimized to be blazing fast and light on system resources, so you can focus on your project at hand.
Our distribution revolves around a few crucial "development suites," from git to meld to Jetbrains tools
Get it now, and get to work.
Code faster.
Code better.
Fast
MX Make is based on MX Linux, a Debian-based Linux distribution that revolves around serving up a lightweight environment with no bells and whistles to distract the user.
Powerful
MX Make runs on a Linux core, which is the primary technology of everything from web servers to supercomputers. It's a powerful base that comes with such tools as Bash, and is completely open-source.
Opensource
Every tool in MX Make is completely opensource. From Atom to Xfce, each component has been checked to comply with strict FOSS rules and is hackable to the core.
MX Make is proudly based on MX Linux, made with MX Snapshot. A technical list of changes can be found below:
