New to Linux? That's ok, there is a (another) "NEW" easy to use Linux OS made for just for beginners!


https://opensource.com/article/18/2/mx-linux-17-distro-beginners


The article goes on to sing the praises of the new and improved MX Linux-17 for beginners with a key selling item of "By us, for us...".  The article then goes on to list of the new and improved features such as:


  • Platform—AMD64, i386 (available in 32-bit or 64-bit ISOs)
  • Kernel version—4.13.0-1
  • Beginner-friendly interface theme and performance
  • Xfce version 4.12.3 default desktop
  • Approx. 1.2 GB size
  • Simple installation via DVD or USB drive

Maybe this is just the OS you have been looking for!

Years ago decisions were being made about which operating system had the most security. One of the big three can credibly be called the most secure. Enterprises spend a lot of time, effort and money to keep their systems secure. Windows the ever more complex platform that is easily the most popular desktop, MacOs x the Unix based operating system that powers Apple and Linux distros. Linux has the potential to be the most secure system but requires the user to be something of a power user.
