The first release candidate for MX Linux 25, built from Debian GNU/Linux 13 (Trixie) and MX repositories, has been released for testing purposes. The RC1 version includes several major changes, such as the inclusion of systemd-cryptsetup on systemd ISOs and a workaround for a GRUB display problem affecting older Intel graphics hardware. In preparation for the upcoming official release, MX Linux will discontinue 32-bit ISO images due to Debian's decision to drop 32-bit kernels from their maintained packages, but existing users of MX-23 will continue to receive security updates until June 2028. Users can download various versions of RC1, including Xfce, KDE/plasma, and Fluxbox releases with systemd or sysvinit variants, for testing purposes.
