MX Linux has introduced their first major release of 2024 as a continuation to their 23.x release. The previous release, [MX Linux 23](https://itsfoss.com/mx-linux-23-release/), featured a new logo, and other major changes. 

The new release, **MX Linux 23.2** aims to continue in that path.

If you are curious, this [Debian-based distro](https://itsfoss.com/debian-based-distros/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) is a superb choice if you are looking for a [systemd-free distro](https://itsfoss.com/systemd-free-distros/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) that doesn't get in the way while using it.

So, without any further ado, let's dive in.

Built on Debian 12.4 “Bookworm” base, MX Linux 23.2 **uses** [**Linux kernel 6.1**](https://itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-6-1-release/) **for the standard variant**, and Linux kernel 6.6 “[liquorix](https://liquorix.net/?ref=itsfoss.com)” for its “Advanced Hardware Support” (AHS) release, meant for newer hardware.

As for the **highlights of this release**, the installer now features fixes for users of the “*toram*” live feature, an update that addresses *fstab* generation, and a better graphical user interface.

The **various applications and tools also see upgrades**, for audio/video handling, [PipeWire 1.0](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/releases/1.0.0?ref=itsfoss.com) is used, a new tool “**MX Locale**” has been introduced for managing system locale information, the default language, and more.

**On the UI/UX part**, the “*mx-comfort-themes*” has been fixed due to some apps not playing nice with it, and **a new wallpaper** called “MX Linux Desert Landscape” has been introduced.

A new tool called “*papirus-folder-colors*” is also here that allows you to **experiment with different folder colors**. 

Then there's the **new camera apps;** in the case of the KDE Plasma version of MX Linux, [Webcamoid](https://webcamoid.github.io/?ref=itsfoss.com) replaces [Kamoso](https://apps.kde.org/kamoso/?ref=itsfoss.com) and similarly, for Xfce and Fluxbox, Webcamoid is replaced with [Guvcview](https://guvcview.sourceforge.net/?ref=itsfoss.com).

And to close this out,the AHS release for MX Linux's flagship desktop (Xfce) now receives **updated firmware and Mesa libraries** with a new optional setting for enabling auto-updates under the *MX-Packageinstaller* menu.
