Hey all, how are you doing?
I am very happy to come back to Antix because I used to be a Windows user, my laptop is old 995 mb of ram.
first I had installed the last version of AntiX I think that 17.x. in 2020. after using it for the whole 2020 I wanted to try others distros, I went through Puppy, Tiny Core, Q4OS and Debian Buster with lxde. but I’ve realized tha I like Antix more than those other distros. for that reason I came back to AntiX and I feel happy using it.

I have only one question… I am trying to install and execute tlauncher (minecraft) but I can’t execute the .jar.
I tried and I tried but I could not do it. I install java and javafx.
is it possible to run a .jar in AntiX? my laptop has a 32 bits architecure.
I know Linux is not for play games but I like playing them all.

thank you all and nice to meet you

Hi MaxGArriola,

Welcome back.

you could try installing the default-jre package to run .jar files. I don’t play
minecraft or many games. good luck on getting it working.

depends on the surrounding crowd ?!

Howdy and Welcome. When I ran challenged gear with low ram and cpu.

Dosbox was my friend when it came to games. I just download a bunch of dos games into a dedicated folder in /home.
Make the default run action in rox file manager in that dos games folder dosbox.
Single click that game to launch it.

@MaxGArriola

welcome back to antiX. I’m not a gamer, but I have used DOSBox. I agree with rokytnji, I would try that.
