Devubox-MX25 Base_sysvinit RC1 x64

Release Date: November 18, 2025

Disclaimer: This is an RC1 pre-release of Devubox‑MX and may contain bugs or incomplete features. It is not recommended for production systems—please back up any important data before installing. For most users we recommend testing RC1 in a virtual machine; experienced users may install on spare hardware at their own risk. A fresh installation may be required when upgrading to a future stable release.

Note: Devubox-MX is developed by a single developer from Indonesia, and currently, it is only available in English. You can change the language settings (such as keyboard layout and locale), but some elements will remain in English.

To launch the installer: Press the "Install MX Linux" button inside the MX Welcome popup during startup of the live environment. If you close the popup, open MX Welcome via Start Menu > MX Tools > MX Welcome and press "Install MX Linux", or run minstall-launcher in a terminal.

System Requirements

Here are the system requirements for Devubox‑MX. It is a midweight distribution suitable for 64‑bit PCs from 2006 onward and runs well on older hardware (for example, Core 2 Duo systems).

Processor Minimum: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster, 1 or more cores
Recommended: Dual-core processor or higher is sufficient for basic tasks.
Memory Minimum: 1 GB RAM (with swap or ZRAM enabled for slightly better multitasking).
Recommended: 2 GB or more for optimal performance.
Storage Minimum: 16 GB HDD or SSD (using btrfs with zstd compression to fit more files in limited storage).
Recommended: 20 GB or more on SSD for better performance.
System Firmware Compatible with Legacy BIOS or UEFI (Secure Boot is not yet supported).
TPM TPM is not required (unlike Windows 11's strict requirement). TPM support in Linux varies and is optional.
Graphics Card Integrated or discrete GPU with at least 128 MB VRAM for basic graphics.
Display Minimum resolution: 1024×768 (sufficient for the installer and light multitasking).
Recommended: 1366×768 or higher for better visuals.

gpgv --keyring trustedkeys.gpg Devubox-MX25_Base_sysvinit_RC1_x64.iso.sig Devubox-MX25_Base_sysvinit_RC1_x64.iso

If it says "Good signature", it means the ISO hasn't been tampered with or corrupted.

How to Make a Live USB

Important: Make sure to back up all data on your USB drive to prevent data loss, as the drive will be formatted.

Using Graphical Tools

A full-featured bootable (Live) USB can be made from an ISO by using MX’s Live USB Maker tool. Users of other Linux distributions can download and run our Live USB Maker appimage right from their current distro to create a full-featured Live MX USB from any standard ISO.

Other graphical USB creators that write a Read-Only image of the ISO onto USB (e.g., openSUSE Imagewriter, Mint USB Image Writer, Balena Etcher) may also be used to create a Live USB.

If you want to create a USB on a Windows base, we suggest you to use Rufus or Ventoy (Note: Ventoy is not working at the moment).

Using the Command Line (Advanced)

You can also use the command line to make a Live USB. Let us assume your USB is identified as sdb (change as needed for your system), then copy and paste the command below into a Terminal Emulator with Sudo or Root Access. Replace ISONAME.iso with the actual name of the downloaded ISO file.

sudo dd bs=4M if=ISONAME.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync
