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.

in most cases, still 'downloading' something to boot to initially. might as well just make a usb installer. i also had zero luck with any usb keyboards working with netboot.xyz when i tried using it on a 7th gen optiplex, had to ~~steal~~ borrow a ps/2 one.
debian has a great netinst image that has most the drivers and firmwares needed to install debian over the network on pretty much anything. debian's installers were also the only installers (of a dozen or more i tried at one time) that worked 'out of the box' with my particular usb wifi for a net install.
Yeah, the "kinda" is doing a lot of work. netbooting ISOs over the internet is very much a hack :p
Especially because of the risk that your extra-long install process might get interrupted by a glitch from your ISP.
