MX Linux 25.2 has been released, featuring kernel patches, updated graphics drivers, and a functional text-based installer that operates without Xorg. The release maintains a stable foundation with the tested 6.12.90 Debian kernel for base versions, while AHS editions offer a newer Liquorix build for advanced hardware support. Improvements in live system persistence and kernel switching allow users to have better control over which kernel loads during startup, enhancing system stability. The update can be easily accessed through the normal upgrade path, and users can also download various ISO options for different desktop environments
MX Linux 25.2 released
MX Linux 25.2 drops today with a practical mix of kernel patches, updated graphics drivers, and a text based installer mode that actually works without Xorg running first. The base releases stick to the tested 6.12.90 Debian kernel while AHS editions jump to a newer Liquorix build paired with mesa 26.0.1 for folks who need fresh hardware support. Live system persistence finally gets cleaned up by moving boot routines out of rc.local, and users can now manually pick which kernel loads during startup instead of guessing after every update. Current systems pull these changes through the normal upgrade path without forcing a reinstall, so grabbing the iso or running apt upgrade is all it takes to stay current.
