Hi. For many years I have been using MXLinux which I have more than pleased with.
I have now triple booted with Win 8.1, MXLinux and Sparky.
I must say that Sparky is a tads faster than MX with more software to
offer in APTus. It has also been easier to install TOR and Popcorn without having to go into the CLI and getting problems with the extraction process.
Well done to all concerned as Sparky will be my main operating system on my 2 laptops from now on.
Kind regards.
Ian.
