MX Linux 23.3 “Libretto” Released with Linux Kernel 6.8 and Updated Components
MX Linux 23.3 is here four months after MX Linux 23.2 and it’s based on the Debian GNU/Linux 12.5 “Bookworm” operating system release. This means that most of the packages, including the long-term supported Linux 6.1 LTS kernel, have been updated to the versions from Debian Bookworm’s repos.
As expected, the AHS (Advanced Hardware Support) edition of MX Linux 23.3 comes with a newer kernel, namely Linux kernel 6.8.9, which might be useful to those experiencing hardware issues with Linux kernel 6.1 LTS. The Linux 6.8.9 kernel is offered as a Liquorix flavor.

MX Linux 23.3 Libretto: Why you should switch from Microsoft Windows 11
MX Linux has released version 23.3 "Libretto," a fresh update to its MX-23 series (download here). For those already running MX-23, there's no need for a complete reinstall, as all updates are available through the regular update channels. This third refresh brings a host of bug fixes, kernel updates, and application enhancements, making it a compelling choice for users considering a switch from Windows 11.
MX-23.3 is based on Debian 12.5 "bookworm," ensuring a stable and reliable foundation. Among the notable updates, the inclusion of the "build-essential" packages stands out. This feature, previously available in MX-23.2, is crucial for users needing to compile drivers without internet access.
The installer’s OEM mode now allows users to select their preferred system language before setup begins, enhancing the user experience, especially for non-English speakers. This feature is already default on the RPI Respin release, making MX-23.3 more accessible to a global audience.

MX Linux 23.3 released, based on Debian 12.5
The latest update to MX Linux is out, and has some small but handy improvements to make it easier to get online and install.
MX Linux 23.3 is the latest update to MX Linux 23 "Libretto." The update brings the package basis up to that of Debian 12.5, which came out back in February.
It's not radically different from the original MX Linux 23 release, which we looked at last August, and builds on the changes in version 23.2, at which we took a quick look in January. Unlike a few more neophiliac distros, its developers seem to take a pragmatic approach of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Significant work has gone into localization and translation in this version. There's an updated manual, and the documentation has been split up into language-specific packages. Along with the new MX Locale tool, you can uninstall everything from your OS which isn't in your preferred language.
