ExTiX's new release is an even better Windows 11-like Linux desktop

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-08-04 04:30:23

Jack Wallen/ZDNET Back in 2022, I reviewed ExTiX with the idea of using it to get the Deepin desktop experience, without the possible security/privacy issues associated with Deepin Linux.
