MX Linux 25.1 • OS.watch

Making a return as of 25.1 is a dual-init setup with both systemd and SysVInit on the same ISO image. This drastically cuts the number of builds we do and also brings back a feature that was uniquely MX and many users enjoyed. In addition to the usual bug fixes and updates, there are a few nice user-oriented changes related to the dual-init setup from our past releases. Users will be able to choose the init system from the live boot menu on first boot of the live system. The installer will set up whatever init system is running at the time of install as the default for the installed system. The other init will be in the GRUB boot menu under 'advanced', like systemd was on our MX-23 and earlier releases. The tendency for MX-23 to break polkit/dbus on logout/login cycles when systemd-shim was in operation, the main symptom being the root privilege escalation prompt would not appear, appears to not happen with the new setup.
