I am working on windows 10 currently. I was wondering if MX Linux could be installed directly from online. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

    Currently my windows 10 is running on 4gb ram. At least MX Linux would be better in this case ??

      Almost every linux distro is better on RAM than Windows. That said, application memory management has gotten pretty sloppy over the past decade or so. I boot into MX linux (KDE) on my 16GB RAM laptop, and I am using about 2GB after boot. Once I load my password manager and open my browser (Librewolf with 18 tabs) I am sitting at 5.4GB used.

      But! Even when this laptop had only 4GB RAM, it always ran MX fast and never complained about low memory.

      Edit: Try the xfce version of MX linux. I think it’s the lightest on resources, or it used to be.

        I would actually adopt the fluxbox, because l wish to switch over to evilwm eventually.
