Starting with a Liquorix kernel, which turned out to be unsuitable on this machine, I have been using Debian’s sid kernel all these years.
Since kernel version 5 nothing worked properly on this machine. Everything, really everything worked at work only delayed and tough.

Apart from the weekly dist-upgrades, the Distri lived on the machine.

About 14 days ago I had the idea to try again with an antiX kernel before killing it.
I must say, @anticapitalista, your kernels are really of a very good quality. This machine reacts like a pussycat. All applications run smoothly and fast, it is a dream.

Many thanks!
