Mx linux is a bad chioce if you cant answer this yourself because its going to differ from most other debian distros. You probably want to use normal debian or linux mint if you are still learning.
To answer anyway; youll want to install lighttpd or similar server using apt, then firgure out the differences between sysvinit and systemd so you can properly configure the server to start.
If you just use debian instead, “sudo apt install lighttpd” would be enough to get everything started.
I think you know its not just a matter of “clicking a setting in a gui once”
Why would you choose a non systemd based distro only to just switch it over to systemd? Why over complicate thinga for a new user who is clearly just starting out? Just use normal debian!

I know it is that simple because I’ve done it while running MX on my devices… You can even switch between the two at boot freely.

It comes with tools that make system management a lot easier for beginners. I think that’s more than a fair trade for having to click a single setting in a gui.
You obviously haven’t used MX, and I have no clue where you’re pulling your opinions out of from. Give it a try instead of continuing to spew nonsense.
I tried it about a week ago but since i have zero interest in alternatives to systemd or gui tools I find its easy to just install something that uses the things i want by default.
If you enjoy having that extea option and managing it with gui tools then im glad mx works for you, but it seems overcomplicated with no practical benefit to me.

How? It’s just Debian with extra tools and sysvinit besides systemd.
Or just set systemd as a default
You just answered your own question
So, clicking a setting in a gui once is such a big deal that MX is a bad choice? Next level…

What can sysv do that systemd cant anyway?
