MX Linux 25.2 Xfce AHS was singled out as the best Linux pick for new PCs, with the report saying systems 1-3 years old should work out of the box.
Version 25.2_Xfce_ahs_x64 pairs a 7.07 kernel—updated after install to Liquorix 7.0.9-2—with newer graphics drivers, firmware, DKMS packages and an updated Mesa stack to support modern GPUs, Wi-Fi and HiDPI displays.
Xfce keeps the distro light, and the review said it ran smoothly even in a virtual machine with 4GB of RAM and 2 CPUs, while the low-latency Liquorix kernel also suits gaming and audio work.
MX Linux is built on Debian Stable and is free to download, with the report adding that users who want a more modern interface can install KDE Plasma on top without losing the AHS hardware support.
