Personally. I don't think a one man show desktop iso can compare to what is team built.
XFCE MX is pretty simple because of a team which makes a lot of folks happy.

Not sure what the purpose of your post is – as it does not address the question posed.
Don't think that waffle about MX being built by a team makes it better, holds water?
Suppose most LQ members will be familiar with the derogatory phrases of “
designed by committee” and “
too many cooks spoil the broth”…?
I concur with both these well known adages.
Most LQ members will understand that the efforts of individuals on their own or as part of a larger team is no guarantee of success – just look at that US Aeroplane that nose dives into the ground – Er, twice – killing all onboard.
A huge team effort ending in disaster and loss of life!
You know of the Harley Davidson Team who made that dreadful Shovelhead engine beset with a Wiki page of faults shoved into a chassis that weaved across the road like a puppy on a lead… OMG
If these are examples of team players – IMHO you are welcome to keep it to yourself.
Getting back to one man computer software besides Anticapitalista take a look at...
Daniel Micay, originally worked on CopperheadOS, Micay continued working on the Android Hardening project which was renamed as
GrapheneOS and announced in April 2019.
According to Damien Wilde of 9to5Google, GrapheneOS released
Android 12L for Pixels before Google did..?
In July 2022, Charlie Osborne of ZDNet suggested that individuals who suspect a
Pegasus infection use a secondary device with GrapheneOS for secure communication. GrapheneOS is also
endorsed by NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden.
We should turn the clock back to 1936 when that brilliant individual
Alan Turing invented a hypothetical computing device that came to be known as the ‘universal Turing machine’. The legacy of Alan Turing’s life and work did not fully come to light until long after his death. His impact on computer science has been widely acknowledged: the annual ‘Turing Award’ has been the highest accolade in that industry since 1966.
We could then fast forward to Sir
Clive Sinclair; the inventor who brought pocket calculators and the earliest accessible cheap computer:
ZX80, was also available in kit form. Then there was Alan Sugar who in 1968, aged 21, set up
Amstrad with £100 of Post Office savings. In 1980, Amstrad was listed on the London Stock Exchange and during the 1980s Amstrad doubled its profit and market value every year. By 1984, recognising the opportunity of the home computer era, Amstrad launched an 8-bit machine, the
Amstrad CPC 464; selling over 2 million in Europe.
I could easily compile a long list of brilliant individuals just from Great Britain, say starting - Without Isaac Newton this small manor would be just another Lincolnshire farmhouse - but in
1665 the plague sent him back from university to this place where he was born. For 18 months Newton worked in solitude, experimenting obsessively, laying foundations for the science of today.
Splitting light, theories on gravity, physical forces etc...
I surmise that teams of people never have a collective thought or idea whereas brilliant individuals can change the world with a single idea or create good software operating systems.
Perhaps with your knowledge and experience you could tell our members
what MX has besides two DEs that Antix does not..? Or why the MX team continue to make MX less efficient with every release whereas my own Antix-22 Full: 5.10.142-antix.2-amd64-smp arch: x86_64, with substantial extra software now comes in at 150MiB RAM used at idle and 32bit Loc-OS uses just 71MiB as tested in independent reviews.

Not sure why you chose to include a screenshot of Antix21/22 rather than a MX screenshot? However it saves me the bother of making a screenshot of the update download showing identical packages being used from the MX-packages/Antix source; answering the title of my Topic: MX – is it just Antix + Desktop?
Having wiped the window manager icewm that you favour, along with all the other window managers, file managers, Rox filer etc from my system; Synaptic then purged them all from my system leaving just LXDE and Openbox. Updates are now quicker as only openbox menu has to be written – wonderful
