=================================I’m here now with antiX 22. As you can see, it’s reasonably nimble without a Web Browser running; it’ll sometimes jump between 600 MiB and 1.0-1.2 Gib IF I’m running a multi-function Web browser, serving Email, message forums, weather, and time resources. With the HP, this usage is inconsequential, as a 64-bit system this one does use a few more base resources but returns them with very efficient utilization.

Brian MasinickTopic: conky with conditionals
blur13
Hi!
So here is the problem. I use wttr.in to get weather data to output display in conky. For example:
${execi 1200 curl -sm 2 wttr.in/stockholm?format="%w"\&M}the -m 2 gives 2 seconds before the operation times out. Otherwise I’ve found that conky gets stuck when the curl command never finishes and nothing is displayed. I have to manually kill the curl processes in htop to get it to move on. And then the same thing repeats 20 min later. So -m 2 solves that problem. However, I have about five curl commands to wttr and some formatting and text that looks weird when nothing is returned from wttr. I’ve found wttr to be somewhat unreliable so this happens a lot. Enough times that I want to make a conditional along the lines of, “if curl times out, then…”. The exit code when curl times out is 28. So basically, when executing the above command, and the exit code is 28, then I dont want conky to use any of the code below. Any way to do this?

Yesterday when I updated my system it pulled in a Liquorix kernel update, so I’m trying it out. So far it’s working fine.
Here’s the memory stats when I’m running with this kernel and two open tabs with Version 110.0.5481.100 (Official Build, ungoogled-chromium) custom (64-bit).

Hi Waga,
Many of us regard the distro as a starting point for creating what is essentialy our own
distribution. fun and easy using the antiX included toolchain.In case you feel like looking sometime there are huge numbers of themes, weather apps,
icon sets available. For themes https://www.box-look.org/browse/ is a goord starting point.
For conky and weather apps etc a bewildering number of flavours available on other sites.Regarding newer hardware, some is problematic, working on one case yesterday, searching showed
other distros ran in to same issues, in case in question sound problem with HDMI and an obscure
architecture. Otherwise added newer debian kernel and antiX flies.- This reply was modified 3 months, 1 week ago by Xunzi_23.

@andy – I almost didn’t respond to your post. I do so because I don’t want people that search for Ft10 in the forum read your opinion and take it seriously…
Point 1 – you’re completely free to use whatever software you want to use.
Point 2- You were told that one of the way FT10 can be used is with a GUI that provides a GUI similar to Windows10
(the other option is a “classic menu” with categories, as I mentioned- you can even keep the Windowz10 like menu and disable the “Tiles”, all from the GUI- it’s the way -I usually use it)
Point 3- Assumptions are the mothers of all f… hum… messes – The guy that created ft10 tells you this:and all that running, on idle, on less then 200mb of RAM (and 1 to 2% of CPU usage even on an old 32bits laptop)
(To be fully honest, on my 32bits laptop, antiX + FT10 + conky uses about 100Mb – mem and conky disagree on the correct value- mem says it’s a little less than 100mb, Conky says it’s a little over 100Mb- with a compositor running on the background, hell I have 1gig of RAM, I like to squander all that free resources on a little eye candy)
And you miss interpreted a screen shot of a system running some 20 tabs open in Firefox…Point 4- you were told that the weather, translation and news apps do not require a browser – you do you assume (wrongly) that they violate your privacy – I created the scripts myself – they are front ends for CLI tools, that, as far I can I can tell don’t share much info on you- no “cookies” at all (with the exception of the “weather app” that calculates your location from your IP to make a request to the CLI service wttr.in). None of those scripts run on the background – they just run when you click them – you don’t want to use them, then, don’t use them. And, as far as I know, OpenStreetMaps (the “Maps” menu entry simply launches that web page) is the most private way to get routes between any 2 places on earth.
Please note this: I do not criticize you opinion on the menu that is in ft10’s screenshot looks too “bloated” or not – that is a subjective option that I respect (but, as I said, there are several possible menus – I choose that one just to exemplify how Ft10 can be used to make Windows10 refugees feel at home in antiX, AND still use about the same system resources (or in some cases, even less) than the default antiX setup requires.
Stick with whatever you want – just don’t make unfounded assumptions about someone’s else work that may induce other people in error.P.

Sorry Moddit I do not know what “LO” is
L.O. – LibreOffice
Have seen ft10-transformation mentioned many times but haven’t a clue what it is or does
You can look for FT10’s thread here in the forum or checkout it’s “homepage” here- https://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/ft10-transformation/-/blob/main/README.md
It’s basically a way to keep the default antiX window managers and still have a “modern looking” desktop – it includes a menu that can be configured to look like Windowz10 (and almost Windows 11, if you remove the tiles) or more like KDE – with a categories menu. Both menu layouts include Preferred/Favourite/Pinned apps (easily editable via a GUI), followed by a alphabetically ordered list of all available apps, with a short description ( extracted from the .desktop of the app). You can search all apps (by name and/or description) straight from the menu – to me, it’s faster and more intuitive to use than any other menu I’ve ever seen ( hum… I configured it accordingly to my needs, so it’s 100% perfect to me)
The toolbar includes quick-launch icons (also easily editable) and real time previews of all windows, a CPU/RAM indicator (that, to me, makes conky unecessary), a quicklauncher for Connman, a costumized volume app, a clock (that allows acces to a calendar that you can add events to, and also a world clock, a timer and a stopwatch) and, to the right of the click, an option that allows you to “show desktop”.
It includes Weather, News and Translator apps (that work without the need for a browser, so, they run great on PC’s that can’t handle the modern web).
It also costumizes zzzfm File Manager, adding the default shortcuts (documents, music, etc) a trash can and a few other extras (like easy access to Google Drive and to Samba2 shared folders).
The only “missing” features it that you can’t change the size of the menu/toolbar (but can edit their colours and fonts) nor drag and drop apps to the favourites/toolbar – you have to use GUI’s to manage the favourites that appear on the menu and the toolbar.
On the other hand, you have features that were just now introduced to the biggest OS in the World – a fully featured tabbed File Manager and the ability to drag a file to a program that’s running on the toolbar – and all that running, on idle, on less then 200mb of RAM (and 1 to 2% of CPU usage even on an old 32bits laptop)I made it so antiX, without any extra use of system resources can be just as easy to use and feature rich as an Android Device or Windows 10/11 (since most people are used to those OSes).
It’ a tiny download, and you can enable and disable it freely, for each of the 3 default floating window managers…
Even if you don’t enable FT10, if you install it, you can still have access to all it’s scripts and goodiesP.

In reply to: Future of antiX – Reflections
hi, everyone! I did not want to start a small revolution here in this thread!
Here are some points:
– I’m not offended, at all with people that think my ideas or scripts are unneeded trinkets- one man’s trinket is another man’s gold- there are some antiX features that I never or seldom use, but that are essential to some users- for me, as long as no extra system resources are used, the ISO size does not increase too much and the menu does not get even more complex, the more features antiX has available the better!
– The apps I suggest adding to Package Installer are just that- suggestions- I see no reason at all why having more apps available in what is our very own app store (hey just look at P.I.’s icon- it’s exactly what it is) would be a problem- I suggested, long ago, that anti included all the main apps for some activities (like working with video, working with audio, etc)
– Most of the UI and inclusion of extra features that I suggested (excluding the flatpak and some others) are already available, officially in antiX repo – I do not want to start a new Distro, so I went the Transformation Pack route- ft10-transformation is (and has been for a while) a official antiX package that uses some U.I. concepts from KDE or Windows 10 and 11- here is it’s “homepage”: https://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/ft10-transformation/-/blob/main/README.md it includes a link for the Youtube video about it that BobC created (thanks for that once again)- you can install it, and then enable it from the menu (or disable it and get back to your default antiX look and feel)- no it does not use loads of system resources- I run it on all my computers, even my 32bits/1gb or RAM 20 years old laptop – and it uses about the same system resources as antiX rox-icewm desktop with conky running (I recommend disabling conky and desktop icons with FT10- since most of those features are available under FT10 U.I.- so you may even save some system resources- I created FT10, I updated it, the work as already been done (some localization still has to be improved, sorry for that Wallon, I’ve not forgotten your suggestions).- I usually say that icewm antiX full + FT10 is about as feature rich and easy to use (for most common tasks) as an android device- I created it for myself, but I realized it could be helpful for people migrating from Windowz, to have not a clone of it’s UI, but the same basic concepts of usability and functions – so it has even extra trickets like: a fully working (although basic) Calendar with alarms, a World Clock, a “weather app”, a “news app” and a “translator app” (that require a network connection but not a browser- so they run fine even on computers that have problems running the modern web), a “maps apps” (basicaly a .desktop that launches OSM on the default browser), easy and fast ways to add/remove favourites to the menu and toolbar, zzzfm with all my previous suggestions implemented, etc.
Even with all that, the package size is minimal – it only installs the extras you choose to install… For some random reason you came from Windows 10 and you miss Menu Tiles – hey, you can have them, do you like Windows 11 simple menu that lists pinned + all apps and? you can have it, you like a Categories based menu with integrated search? Have it, it’s already done, it took months of hard work, combining many extra apps and configuring them, and/or creating new scripts (like the world clock one, etc)- I even found a non resource heavy way to remember users to check for updates (if they choose so), or warn users if new versions of the packages are available but not installed (and no, no Deamon is running on the background- I never use that, except, kinda of, when calendar alarms are running)- so no extra CPU usage, no extra RAM usage…– I use the terminal all the time, even so, when I started using antiX, I realized that I had to learn, on-line how to set the correct time using the terminal!… so I helped create a GUI for that… My reasoning was this- to be fully usable (and not just by us “geeks”) any OS’s basic tasks can’t force the user to use the Terminal- stuff like setting the time and date, updating the system, finding recent launched files, installing packages – should not force users to learn to use the terminal- I use the terminal for most of that- but I had to learn to do it, over time… let users find their way to the terminal, discover how powerful it is- not just say – “hey it’s easy- open the terminal and enter these random words there. Oh? You are afraid it may nuke your computer because you don’t know what that does?… tough luck, RTFM”…
– I make plenty of usability and UI suggestions (even some simple ones, like moving app-select to the top of the menu)- to make life simpler for new users, and not mess up life for us antiX old timers- I remember how it was when I first came to Linux, I though- “this OS makes my computer really usable once again, but it’s as ugly as sin and almost every single thing I want to do is hard” ( man, even adding an icon to the taskbar required editing a config file!)…
In antiX you can always use the terminal, or edit config files… but most people with aging computers do not know how to do that… That’s why I like having GUI’s for basic tasks- a yad script offers a nice looking and “easy” GUI, and is literally just a few kb’s of disk space… I created antiX updater- I click the warning to use the GUI to check for updates when it comes up in FT10, but usually I update the system via the terminal, I search for apps using the terminal, etc.- but most people prefere GUI’s- it’s enough having to use the Terminal when something goes wrong, there’s no need to force “regular people” to use it for common daily tasks.
A study found that about 90% of computer users only know how to perform basic tasks- do you think a small child that just wants to play some games, an old granny that just wants to check her e-mail, even a regular young person used to just touch devices want to use the Terminal? I’m not an elitist, I’m an inclusive guy… everyone should profit from antiX- that’s the reasoning for most of my suggestions.Sorry for the long rant! Thanks for your ideas and support!

In reply to: I have a dream – antiX 22 Full 64 Bits + Gnome
BobC
Yes, Gnome is more of a heavyweight desktop environment (800 mb vs 200 mb) compared to the Window manager/File Manager combinations that come standard with antiX. As long as you don’t mind that Gnome takes more memory and runs slower, it’s Ok.
The way I look at this is that for me, I like antiX because it can run on ALL the machines I have, and on my newer machines, it’s ROCKET fast.
I’m not sure this is the best place to get support for a Gnome setup, though. You might be wise to have Gnome running on a distro where it comes standard to test with, and use what you find out on antiX as well.
I’m not sure why you are having windows problems with IceWM. IceWM allows for up to 10 different desktop workspaces, and you can easily switch workspaces, and move windows from one workspace to another, and easily tile or resize them as needed on a workspace. Why not provide a picture showing how you have a screen arranged with Gnome that would be difficult to duplicate with IceWM, and maybe we can suggest a workable solution.
BTW, you can use the same background pic for IceWM if you wanted to. It is a nice pic. There are also nice calendar programs and conky displays with weather available, but admittedly, they aren’t already included with antiX, so would need to be configured.
In reply to: Show us your conky’s
Lubo
My current Conky.
Includes a screenshot of Conky and a .conkyrc.Note:
The .conkyrc is very messy. I have hacked it up a lot, using the default AntiX 21 base ISO.
It “works” for me. YMMV.
You are welcome to copy snippets or the entire config. since most of it is based on AntiX anyway.
Don’t waste your time (or mine) telling me it is garbage. It is “in use” now so clearly it does work.
Prior versions of this were posted under my old account, which I have read-only access to.
Those were edited and cleaned up by other forum members.
I have no problem with that, as long as you understand it has customization that I like and don’t want to remove. Not indispensable but fits my style of work. Almost all text with no bars. Live readout of hostname, uname -r and the like. Troubleshooting/diagnostic information at a glance.E.g. having time displayed both for GMT (UTC) +3 and -7, dates in both EU and US format, weather for both locales, etc. And yes, it has a battery indicator left over from when I used it on a laptop, which is not needed for desktops. But that can be commented out or deleted as you see fit of course.
