MX Linux week ending news are sad.
Jerry Bond, a core developer (and the lead maintainer of the huge MX Manual amongst many other things) has passed away.
Jerry was known in the MX forum as “jerry3904”. The family is grieving but otherwise OK. Rest in piece.

MX news ending october
Debian dropped 32 bit kernel builds as of 6.11 kernel release.
Change logs indicate that Debian will not be building 32 bit x86 kernels in Debian 13 and onward.
This does not affect MX 21 or MX 23 users. At this time no decisions have been made for MX 25.

And much more => https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-news-week-ending-august-10-2024/
* AHS firmware updates coming soon (again) *
What happened with the bad update is Debian upstream subdivided their existing firmware packages into many smaller sub-packages, and the depends were not quite right for a straight update on MX.
