I adore MX Linux. It's versatile, simple, reliable & powerful. I've also installed it on my girlfriend's lappie here in East Africa...never ever any problems at all. I simply refuse to waste my precious time doing annoying Windows support in my spare time. All of her friends on campus are struggling with Windows 10 since it's a thieving mobile data bundle hog...always frigging updating with a mind of its own.
What Microsoft doesn't realize is that many users in Africa access the Net via Android Hotspot (tethering) which eats into airtime credits with colossal Windows updates. This is annoying a lot of users - especially "small" tech support users (including repair shops & ex-Japan/ex-UK refurbished hardware resellers) who usually try to save money by buying data bundles instead of paying a monthly fee for a fiber or cable Internet connection. So Windows is a pain in the ass for those users.
I'm hoping the MX Linux devs will one day release a tightly integrated KDE Plasma version. Yes, you can install KDE, Budgie, GNOME Base, LXDE & Mate from the package installer. But they're not as refined as their flagship Xfce setup. I truly believe that this would be a game changer because their Xfce version is solid & reliable since it is based on Debian Stable with no SystemD. However, users can easily install software via 4 different (independent) streams: Stable Repo, MX Test Repo, Debian Backports, or Flatpaks.

Excellent idea, Kael! And what better domain name to have an open source VPS instance than none other but opensource.com? ;-)
Something like: vps.opensource.com/ProjectXYZ
Or take a page from Google's Blogger/Blogspot
projectxyz.vpspot.net or projectxyz.vpszone.net
Just my worthless 2 cents.
