Hello all!

New user in the forum. I have an interest in Linux distros for systems running low on resources so AntiX looks like the perfect option.

Welcome aboard. 🙂

AntiX is good for new & old machines. 😉

(Gave away my 2002 laptop that was running it, & now it’s on my new 2018 SBC.)

Hello,

At the moment I running it as a virtual machine and have tested enough distros to have an accurate feel of what I understand by light, AntiX is top. Once I have tested it extensively I may end up replacing Debian+Lxde for AntiX. I will post those specs rokytnji mentions.

By the way, fatmac, what SBC are you using to run AntiX on? Very interested. The ones I have tried are armhf-based.

My PC type SBC is a fanless MSI Cubi N.
(4.5″x4.6″x1.5″)
Intel Gemini lake N4000, 1.1Ghz – 4GB DDR4 ram – 240GB M2 SSD – USB 3.1
(Gigabit LAN – 5G wifi)
It has HDMI & VGA video sockets.
(Appears to have blutooth too, though it wasn’t advertised.)

I have Raspberry Pi3B & 3B+ ARM based too, love how quiet these are. 🙂

Greetings!

I have had great results with Debian, MEPIS, MX,and many other Linux-based distributions over the years.

AntiX is one of the fastest of my current collection and MX is one of the easiest to install and use.

I have been a big encouraged and active user of each since their inception. I recently retired, so I am not “deep in the trenches any more (if I ever was), but I continue to support and advocate (and test) this software and I love our community.
