The latest release of the ExTiX Linux distro is a major disappointment. ExTiX 18.7 has several shortcomings that make it troublesome to use. The flaws easily might be fixed in a patched follow-up release. Still, to a new Linux user, the problems inherent in ExTiX 18.7 give the Linux OS in general a black eye. New releases of any software platform never come with guarantees. Sometimes, an earlier release works almost flawlessly while its upgrade down the line fails to impress. That was my experience revisiting the ExTix distro.
Ubuntu or Linux Mint for me are the best desktop versions of Linux. Ubuntu with Webmin and VNC for a remote backup PC. Linux mint is on my HP Elitebook laptop, runs perfectly. The Raspberry PI Raspbian system is a very good Debian system for VPNs, remote backups and services
