debian has only 2 things going for itself:

1. large number of packages

2. MX-Linux offers super convenient cloning, which hardly ever creates problems.

if you have a nice install on fast 8GB or 16GB stick, its very easy to transfer that onto a bootable disk or a different stick or as an ISO for DVD. other backup solutions are usually a PITA including CloneZilla and bootability is hard to obtain.

If Arch/Manjaro could copy that rsync based cloning, it would become unstoppable ! ❤
