extrox is an interesting spin of MX Linux that uses the Xfce desktop with the Compiz compositing window manager.
The desktop looks like a rich desktop environment with the look and feel of KDE Plasma, but actually uses Xfce. This has the advantage of minimizing system resources without impacting on the user experience.
The developer of extrox is an art section member of the MX development team.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
