I've tried several of Senpai's Respins, MX-Cinnamon, MX-Mate, MX-Parrot and the new MX-Budgie.
MX-Cinnamon is a great idea because it brings the latest version of Mint's Cinnamon to MX-Linux, which works great and combines the best of both distributions...
MX-Mate is a classic that works perfectly, even lighter than the official Xfce version of MX-Linux, and has everything you need to run on any PC.
The latest Respin he has created, MX-Budgie, only comes with the Systemd init, due to problems with the Budgie provided by Debian with sysVinit, but it is easy to use and very modular.
All the respins I have tried have just the right applications to work as soon as the system is installed, and the RAM consumption is very low. Perhaps Cinnamon consumes a little more, but that is normal as the desktop itself requires it...
MX-Parrot Respin is a system for everyday use with Mate as the desktop and the best of MX-Linux tools together with the kernel and applications from ParrotOS Home. It includes applications for encryption and user privacy, without preventing users from installing ParrotOS Security tools if they need to...
I hope you continue to maintain these great respins for a long time to come. Looking at your Sourceforge website and seeing how you respond to user questions on the MX-Linux forum, it looks good. I see you've been doing this since 2020, so it seems consistent.
